Integrate an Existing WebAssign Course With LMS

If your LTI 1.0 LMS is not otherwise specified, the following steps apply to any LTI 1.0 compliant LMS. If you already created the WebAssign course you want to integrate with LMS — and no students are enrolled — integrate your existing course.

Note Course templates, courses with student enrollments, and courses that are already linked to an LMS can't be linked.

Before you begin, your LMS administrator must have set up the Cengage tool in your LMS, and you must have received an email from Cengage containing a Cengage Course URL.

  1. Open your LMS course.
  2. Create a link to the Cengage tool.
    You only have to do this once.
    1. Navigate to your external tools.

      Third party content like Cengage is listed as an external tool or app in your LMS.

    2. Click the Cengage link.

      This might be named Cengage or MindLinks. If you are not sure, ask your LMS admin.

    3. In the URL field, paste the Cengage Course URL from your email.
    4. Click Save.
  3. Click the link you created.
  4. If prompted, sign in to your Cengage instructor account to link your LMS and Cengage accounts.
  5. Click Add Homework Platform.
  6. Select the textbook or product you want to use from the available course content.
    • To see only WebAssign results, click Filter and set Filter By to WebAssign.
  7. Select Link to an existing course or section.

    Your unlinked courses and course sections with no student enrollments for the selected title are listed.

  8. Select the course or section you want to link and click Continue.
  9. Click the link to your WebAssign course.

    If prompted, read and accept the service agreement.
