Add Links in Sakai to MindTap Activities and Resources

After setting up your MindTap course, create links from SakaiĀ® to activities or other content in MindTap.

Note Category scores can not be synced to Sakai.

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

  • Add and organize the assigned activities and course materials for your MindTap 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 Sakai and MindTap.

  1. Open your Sakai course.
  2. Click Add Content > Add Learning App.
  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.

    If needed, change gradebook syncing for specific activities.

  5. Click Continue.

Your link is added to the Sakai Lessons area.

If needed, you can reorganize the links in Sakai.
