Add Links in Sakai to SAM Activities and Resources

After setting up your SAM course, create links from Sakai® to activities or other content in SAM.

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

  • Add and organize the assigned activities and course materials for your 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 Sakai 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 Sakai and SAM.

  1. Open your Sakai course.
  2. Click Add Content > Add Learning App.
  3. Click the Cengage tool.
    If the tool is not available, contact your administrator.
  4. Click Continue.

Your link is added to the Sakai Lessons area.

If needed, you can reorganize the links in Sakai.
