After setting up your MindTap course, create links from Moodleâ„¢ to activities or other content in MindTap. Linked
graded activities are included in the Moodle gradebook.
Note
In Moodle versions older than 3.10, each activity link must be
added individually. In this case, consider using the MindTap gradebook to calculate an overall course
score for all MindTap activities and syncing that
course score to Moodle instead.
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 Moodle and MindTap.
Open your Moodle course.
Click > Turn editing on.
Click Add an activity or resource.
Select the Cengage tool and click
Add.
The Cengage tool is created and named
by your Moodle administrator.
Under General, click Select
content.
Note The Activity Name and Tool
URL are set automatically after selecting the
content.
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.
Due dates set in your MindTap course are synced to Moodle.
Date changes in your MindTap course overwrite dates set in your Moodle course. For consistency, make sure your MindTap and Moodle courses are set to the same time zone.
If needed, change gradebook syncing for specific activities.
By default, when you include a graded activity it is
added to the Moodle 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.
Save your changes at the bottom of the page.
Click either Save and return to course or
Save and display.
Optional: Repeat these steps to add another link.
The content page displays
all the links you have added to your MindTap course
and activities.
If needed, you can reorganize the links in Moodle.
