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, 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 Canvas and Keyboarding in SAM.
Open your Canvas course.
From the course navigation, click Cengage.
If you get an error message when you click Cengage, see the following:
Select your linked Keyboarding in SAM course from the list of
content sources.
A list of assigned activities for your linked Keyboarding in SAM course is shown.
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.
If needed, change gradebook syncing for specific activities.
By default, when you include a graded activity it is
added to the Canvas 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.
Click Continue.
The selected links are added to the module.
If needed, you can reorganize the links in Canvas.
