After setting up your MindTap course, create links from Canvas™ to activities or other content in MindTap. Linked graded activities are included in the Canvas gradebook unless you choose to exclude them.
Note Category scores can not be
synced to Canvas.
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 Canvas and MindTap.
Open your Canvas course.
From the course navigation, click Cengage.
Select your linked MindTap course from the list of
content sources.
A list of assigned activities for your linked MindTap course is shown.
Select activities to include in your course.
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.
Activities that have already been added are marked . To avoid
duplicate activity links and gradebook columns, do not import the same activity
twice.
By default, when you include a graded activity it is
added to the Canvas gradebook.
Configure grade syncing with Canvas.
