Integrate MindTap With Your Blackboard Course

Your Blackboard® administrator must have set up the Cengage tool in Blackboard.

With this integration:

  • You and your students access your MindTap courses from Blackboard.
  • You can sync either your students' overall course grades or individual activity scores for the MindTap course to Blackboard.
Best Practice To help your students, use clear and consistent naming for your courses and sections in both Blackboard and MindTap. This is especially important if you integrate more than one MindTap section from the same Blackboard course.

Google Classroom Versions

How you add MindTap content to your Google Classroom depends on if your school uses the free or paid version of Google Classroom.

To see which version your school uses, open the assignment editor and look for the Add-ons panel.
  • If your assignment has Add-ons, your school uses the paid version.
  • If your assignment does not have Add-ons, your school uses the free version.
