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 LTI Advantage LMS gradebook after adding the activity link.
Links created in this way are sometimes called deep links because they are not just web links but allow data to be exchanged between LTI Advantage LMS and Keyboarding in SAM.
Open your LTI Advantage LMS course.
Follow the steps for your LMS to access the Cengage tool.
Click the Cengage tool.
If the tool is not available, contact your administrator.
Click Select Content and select activities to include in your class.

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 LTI Advantage LMS 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.
Repeat these steps to add another link.
If needed, you can reorganize the links in LTI Advantage LMS.
