Add Links in LTI Advantage LMS to MindTap Activities and Resources
If your LTI Advantage LMS is not otherwise specified, the following steps apply to
any LTI Advantage compliant LMS.
After setting up your MindTap course, create links from LTI Advantage LMS to activities or other content in MindTap.
Linked graded activities are included in the LTI Advantage LMS gradebook.
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 LTI Advantage LMS and MindTap.
Open your LTI Advantage LMS course.
Follow the steps for your LMS to access the Cengage tool.
Click the Cengage tool.
If the tool is not available, contact your administrator.
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 LTI Advantage LMS 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.
Scores sync automatically when assignment attempts are submitted in MindTap and when you enter or edit scores in your MindTap gradebook.
Click Continue.
Optional: Repeat these steps to add another link.
If needed, you can reorganize the links in LTI Advantage LMS.
