Part One: Pairing Your Course

Step 1.

Part Two: Adding a Cengage Product-Level Link to Your Course

Step 8.

Click Add Publisher Links, then click Continue to Cengage.

 

 

 

 

 

Step 9.

Log into your Cengage account using your Cengage credentials.  

 

 

Step 10.

Click the Add Homework Platform button.

 

 

Step 11.

Locate the content that you are using for your course, then click Link to Course.

 

 

Step 12.

You will next be prompted to Create a new course, Copy from an existing course, Copy from another instructors, or Link to an Existing Course.  Select the one that best fits your need for this course, then click Continue.

 

 

Step 13.

Choose whether you would like grade columns to populate in your gradebook or not by clicking the radio button next to the appropriate selection. The first option will create a single gradebook column showing one overall grade for all courseware activities, while the second option will create multiple gradebook columns showing one grade for each activity.

• NOTE: If you are not using courseware for a grade, you will want to choose I want to synchronize individual activity scores.

After making your selection, click Continue.

 

Step 14.

Navigate back to your Blackboard course and you will now see the Cengage Courseware link inside of your Content Area in your Blackboard Learn course, or on the homepage of your Blackboard Ultra course. You can use the move function in Blackboard to move this item anywhere in your course.

 

Part Three: Adding Cengage Activity Links to Your Course

To add Cengage eBook, chapter, quizzes, or other activity links to your course, please following the directions below. These links will take students to those specific assignments, rather than the product-level link, which will take students to the Cengage product's homepage.

Step 15.

Click on the Follett-Willo Digital Delivery 1.3 link that you created in Part Two above.

Step 16.

Click Add Publisher Links, then click Continue to Cengage.

Step 17.

Click Select Content.

Step 18.

Select the content you’d like to import by ticking the boxes to the left of the activity name. When you’re done with your selections, click the blue Continue button.

NOTE: Some activities can be added to your Blackboard gradebook. These will display another check box to the right of the activity name. To add these to your gradebook, check the box to the right of the activity name you want to add.

 

NOTE: Items in blue font are interactive activity links (graded assignments, practice assignments, specific chapter links, study tools, etc.), while items in black font are section or folder headers and do not contain any material.

 

Step 19.

You should see a Link Selection Complete message indicating the links have been added successfully to your course. Click Close window.

 

Step 20.

Navigate back to your Blackboard course where you will find your links in the Content Area you created in step 2 in your Blackboard Learn course, or on the homepage of your Blackboard Ultra course.
