Link to OWLv2 Activities and Resources

After setting up your OWLv2 course, create links from Moodle to activities or other content in OWLv2. Linked graded activities are included in the Moodle gradebook.

How-toInstructor HelpOWLv2

Before adding links to OWLv2 activities, make sure your OWLv2 course is set up the way you want it.

  • Add and organize the assigned activities and course materials for your OWLv2 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 Moodle and OWLv2.

  1. Open your Moodle course.

  2. Click actions menu Turn editing on.

  3. Click Add an activity or resource.

  4. Select the Cengage tool and click Add.

    The Cengage tool is created and named by your Moodle administrator.

  5. 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.

    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.

  6. Click Continue.

  7. Save your changes at the bottom of the page.

    Click either Save and return to course or Save and display.

  8. Repeat these steps to add another link.
