Add Links in Canvas to MindTap Activities and Resources

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.

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.

  1. Open your Canvas course.
  2. From the course navigation, click Cengage.

    If you get an error message when you click Cengage, see the following:

  3. Select your linked MindTap course from the list of content sources.

    A list of assigned activities for your linked MindTap course is shown.

  4. Click Select Content and select activities to include in your class.

    If needed, change gradebook syncing for specific activities.

  5. Click Continue.

The selected links are added to the module.

If needed, you can reorganize the links in Canvas.
