After setting up your MindTap for K–12 course, create links from Brightspace® to activities or other content in MindTap for K–12. Linked graded activities are included in the Brightspace gradebook unless you choose to exclude them.
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.
Configure assignment settings such as grading, attempts, feedback, time limits, due
dates, point
values, and grade categories.
Best Practice Use consistent assignment settings and a consistent schedule
for due dates and times.
Links created in this way are sometimes called deep links because they
are not just web links but allow data to be exchanged between Brightspace and MindTap for K–12.
Open your Brightspace course.
Click the Content tab.
In your module, click Add Existing Activities > Cengage.
The Cengage tool may be named differently for your school.
Ask your LMS Admin if you are unsure.
If you do not see the Cengage tool, try this instead.
Click Related Tools > Course Builder.
Drag from
Add Content to your module.
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 Brightspace 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.
The content page displays
all the links you have added to your MindTap for K–12 course
and activities.
If needed, you can reorganize the links in Brightspace.
