After setting up your Keyboarding in SAM course, create links from Moodleâ„¢ to activities or other content in Keyboarding in SAM. Linked
graded activities are included in the Moodle gradebook.
Note
In Moodle versions older than 3.10, each activity link must be
added individually. In this case, consider using the Keyboarding in SAM gradebook to calculate an overall course
score for all Keyboarding in SAM activities and syncing that
course score to Moodle instead.
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.
- Prerequisites
- Integrate Keyboarding in SAM With Your Moodle Course
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 Keyboarding in SAM.

Click .
-
Click Add an activity or resource.
-
Select the Cengage tool and click
Add.

URL are set automatically after selecting the
content.

If you sync activity scores, only Keyboarding in SAM graded activities that you
link to will be synced to Moodle. Scores are not synced for Keyboarding in SAM activities that are not linked from Moodle.

Click Continue.

Save your changes at the bottom of the page.
Click either Save and return to course or
