How-toK–12 Teacher HelpMindTap for K-12

Before adding links to MindTap for K–12 activities, make sure your MindTap for K–12 course is set up the way you want it.

  • Add and organize the assigned activities and course materials for your MindTap for K–12 course.

Links created in this way are sometimes called deep links because they are not just web links but allow data to be exchanged between LTI Advantage LMS and MindTap for K–12.

  1. Open your LTI Advantage LMS course.

  2. Follow the steps for your LMS to access the Cengage tool.

  3. Click the Cengage tool.

    If the tool is not available, contact your administrator.

  4. Click Select Content and select activities to include in your class.
    A selected activity is labeled "This activity is imported in your LMS" and a warning message says "You are about to re-import already existing assignments."

    Graded activities that have already been added are marked This activity is imported in your LMS. To avoid duplicate activity links and gradebook columns, do not import the same activity twice.

    If needed, change gradebook syncing for specific activities.

    By default, when you include a graded activity it is added to the LTI Advantage LMS gradebook.

    To remove an activity from the gradebook, clear Add to Gradebook.

    To sync an activity to the gradebook without creating an activity link, first select Add to Gradebook and then clear the Add to Course checkbox on the left.

  5. Click Continue.

  6. Repeat these steps to add another link.
