Add Links in Canvas to Keyboarding in SAM Activities and Resources

After setting up your Keyboarding in SAM course, create links from Canvas™ to activities or other content in Keyboarding in SAM. Linked graded activities are included in the Canvas gradebook unless you choose to exclude them.

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

  • Add and organize the assigned activities and course materials for your Keyboarding in SAM course.
  • Configure assignment settings such as grading, attempts, feedback, time limits, due dates, and grade categories.
  • SAM activities are worth 100 points. To change this, edit the points for an activity in the Canvas gradebook after adding the activity link.
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 Canvas and Keyboarding in SAM.

  2. From the course navigation, click Cengage.

  5. Click Continue.

The selected links are added to the module.
