Integrate OWLv2 With Your LMS Course

Your LMS administrator must have set up the Cengage tool in LMS.

With this integration:

  • You and your students access your OWLv2 courses from LMS.
  • You can sync either your students' overall course grades or individual activity scores for the OWLv2 course to LMS.
Best Practice To help your students, use clear and consistent naming for your courses and sections in both LMS and OWLv2. This is especially important if you integrate more than one OWLv2 section from the same LMS course.

How do I know if I'm using this integration?

Your Cengage tool will be in a different location depending on which integration you are using.

These instructions are for an older version of the integration which uses a Cengage navigation item in your course navigation. If you have a Cengage navigation item that works, you are using this integration.

Multisection Courses

LMS sections must be created and linked before you begin integrating OWLv2 courses. LMS permits section linking when enabled by your school or district administrator.

Each LMS section will be linked to a OWLv2 course.

  1. Create your mulitsection LMS course.
  2. Link your first LMS section to a new OWLv2 course.
    1. Create a New LMS-Integrated OWLv2 Course
    2. Add Links in LMS to OWLv2 Activities and Resources
  3. Set up your OWLv2 course.

    Finish setting up your course before copying it over to the rest of your LMS sections, so you only have to make these changes once.

  4. In your LMS section, click the Cengage link you just created.
    Cengage opens in a new tab.
  5. In LMS, open the next section and click the Cengage link.
    The Cengage course linking page opens in a new tab.
  6. Link the LMS section to a copy of your OWLv2 course.
    1. Copy a OWLv2 Course to a New LMS Course
    2. Add Links in LMS to OWLv2 Activities and Resources
  7. Repeat this process for each section in your LMS course.
