Link to MindTap Activities and Resources

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

How-toInstructor HelpMindTap

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.

Links created in this way are sometimes called deep links because they are not just web links but allow data to be exchanged between Schoology and MindTap.

  1. Open your Schoology course.

  2. On the Materials tab, click Add Materials Cengage LMS Integration.

  3. Click Select Content and select activities to include in your class.
    A selected activity is labeled "This activity is imported in your LMS" and a warning message says "You are about to re-import already existing assignments."

    Graded activities that have already been added are marked This activity is imported in your LMS. To avoid duplicate activity links and gradebook columns, do not import the same activity twice.

    Due dates set in your MindTap course do not sync to your Schoology course.

    If needed, change gradebook syncing for specific activities.

    By default, when you include a graded activity it is added to the Schoology 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.

  4. Click Continue.
