Hi,
I am a professor attempting to integrate a textbook from Cengage into Canvas. I am unable to find specific instructions for this. I would appreciate any direction I can get!
Thank you!

Hello @MariaCoatney ...
It's been a couple years since I have done anything with Cengage, so I don't know if anything has changed since then. However, Cengage Learning does have a third-party LTI external app that integrates with Canvas. Usually, this kind of app needs to be configured at the Canvas account level rather than at the course level. This way, other instructors at your school who might also use Cengage textbooks would also have the opportunity to use the integration in their courses with their own textbooks. You'd want to have a conversation with your school's Canvas administrator (or someone from your school's Online Learning / eLearning / Distance Education team) so that you can get this set up. There is a page on the EduAppCenter for Cengage Learning that has some sort-of helpful information, but there are also a handful of other Cengage websites that have more helpful information:

We use course pacing to manage due dates, because we run ~20 something courses each quarter and manually setting due dates would be a nightmare. Several courses have two core topics. We want to allow students to choose which of these they will pursue first. Is there any way to configure multiple course paces with different…
Hoping someone can explain for me. We're using pacing to avoid manually dating regular assignments each quarter, but the dates I see are based on when the course was instantiated, while students see dates based on when they were added to the course by [backend software I don't know anything about, presumably]. If I set…
Has anyone else had issues with an influx of duplicate users in Canvas? Ours is currently in the form of an email that already exists, becoming a new user - and not automatically merging with the user ID with the same email that also is linked to our SIS ID correctly as well. For example, user 1 is xyz@gmail.com without a…
