Create a New LMS-Integrated WebAssign Course

If you have not created the WebAssign course you want to integrate with LMS, create it from LMS.

The following procedure is for LTI Advantage integrations. If the Cengage link in your course navigation works, see LTI 1.0.

  1. Open your LMS course.
  2. Click Modules in the course navigation.
  3. Locate or create the module that will contain your course link.

    The Cengage tool might not be available in both of the following locations depending on your Canvas admin's settings.

    To create a course link in a new module:

    1. Click more options next to +Module.
      more options next to +Module in Canvas
    2. Click the Cengage tool.

    To add a course link to an existing module:

    1. Locate the module and click add content.
    2. Set the dropdown to External Tool.
    3. Click the Cengage LTI Advantage tool.

      Look for magnifying glass to confirm that the tool is LTI Advantage.

  4. Click the Content tab.
  5. If you do not have a default grade category in your LMS course, create one.

    A default grade category is required to sync grades between LMS and WebAssign.

    1. Click Grade Setup.
    2. In Categories, click Add.
    3. Enter information for your category and click Create.
    4. To use this category for WebAssign assignments, click Set default category.
  6. On the Materials tab, click Add Materials > Cengage LMS Integration.
  7. Click actions menu > Turn editing on.
  8. Click Add an activity or resource.
  9. Select the Cengage tool and click Add.

    The Cengage tool is created and named by your Moodle™ administrator.

  10. If you have not already done so, create a module in your course.
    1. Click Add a module and enter your module title.
  11. In your module, click Add Existing Activities > Cengage.

    The Cengage tool may be named differently for your school. Ask your LMS Admin if you are unsure.

    If you do not see the Cengage tool, try this instead.

    1. Click Related Tools > Course Builder.
    2. Drag New Cengage Learning from Add Content to your module.
  12. If prompted, sign in to your Cengage instructor account to link your LMS and Cengage accounts.

    If you don't have a Cengage instructor account, click Create Account.

    This window might not be shown if your browser does not allow pop-ups for the LMS domain.

  13. On the Integrate with Cengage page, click Select Platform.
  14. On the License Type page, select the payment method applicable to your class.

    Very often, only one license type is available.

    1. Click Continue.
  15. On the Course Option page, select Create a new course from scratch.
    1. Click Continue.
  16. Click Continue.
  17. Save your changes at the bottom of the page.

    Click either Save and return to course or Save and display.

  18. Click the link to your WebAssign course and verify that it's set up how you want.
