Add Links in Sakai to MindTap for K–12 Activities and Resources

After setting up your MindTap for K–12 course, create links from Sakai® to activities or other content in MindTap 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.

Best Practice Use consistent assignment settings and a consistent schedule for due dates and times.

Prerequisites: Integrate MindTap for K–12 With Your Sakai 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 Sakai and MindTap for K–12.

Open your Sakai course.
Click Add Content > Add Learning App.
Click the Cengage tool.
If the tool is not available, contact your administrator.
Click Select Content and select activities to include in your class.

Note
Selecting a group of activities does not select all activities in the group. You must select each activity individually.

Expand or collapse the course outline if needed.

Graded activities that have already been added are marked . 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 Sakai 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.
Click Continue.

Your link is added to the Sakai Lessons area.

If needed, you can reorganize the links in Sakai.
