After setting up your SAM course, create links from Brightspace® to activities or other content in SAM. Linked graded activities are included in the Brightspace gradebook unless you choose to exclude them.
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, point values, and grade categories.
- Prerequisites
- Integrate SAM With Your Brightspace 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 Brightspace and SAM.

If needed, you can reorganize the links in Brightspace.
