Integrate SAM With Your Canvas Course

Your Canvas™ administrator must have set up the Cengage tool in Canvas.

With this integration:

  • You and your students access your SAM courses from Canvas.
  • You can sync your students' grades for SAM activities to Canvas.
Best Practice To help your students, use clear and consistent naming for your courses and sections in both Canvas and SAM. This is especially important if you integrate more than one SAM section from the same Canvas course.

How do I know if I'm using this integration?

Your Cengage tool will be in a different location depending on which integration you are using.

These instructions are for an older version of the integration which uses a Cengage navigation item in your course navigation. If you have a Cengage navigation item that works, you are using this integration.

Google Classroom Versions

How you add SAM content to your Google Classroom depends on if your school uses the free or paid version of Google Classroom.

To see which version your school uses, open the assignment editor and look for the Add-ons panel.
  • If your assignment has Add-ons, your school uses the paid version.
  • If your assignment does not have Add-ons, your school uses the free version.
