Integrate WebAssign With Your Brightspace Course

Note If your institution uses the old WebAssign-Brightspace® integration, see Set Up LMS Integration (Old).

Your Brightspace administrator must have set up the Cengage tool in Brightspace.

With this integration:

You and your students access your WebAssign courses from Brightspace.

Best Practice To help your students, use clear and consistent naming for your courses and sections in both Brightspace and WebAssign. This is especially important if you integrate more than one WebAssign section from the same Brightspace course.

Google Classroom Versions

How you add WebAssign 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.

General Procedure

Create your course in Brightspace.
Choose one of the following:
- Create a New Brightspace-Integrated WebAssign Course
- Copy a WebAssign Course to a New Brightspace Course
- Integrate an Existing WebAssign Course with Brightspace
  Note Use this method if you are teaching a multi-section course. WebAssign courses created in Brightspace are single-section only.
