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.

The most recent quizzes and question banks (including renames) are not showing up as options in the Course Import Tool. As I was creating a new quiz in one course (Classic), I went to add the questions from the Question Bank, but what I needed wasn't there. I went back to the other course to make sure everything was…
In the wake of the recent Canvas security incident, many instructors are rethinking how they protect their course materials and ensure continuity for students if the LMS becomes unavailable. A common question we’re hearing is how to effectively back up courses “just in case,” especially with an eye toward re‑distributing…
Hi all, Quick question about the Gradebook color status for a 2-part checkpoint discussion. If a student completes the first due date (initial post) but does not complete the required replies by the second due date, is there any way for Canvas to automatically show a color (e.g., missing/late) instead of staying as…
Canvas Portfolios provide a powerful platform for students to document their learning journey, reflect on their progress, and showcase competencies. However, in programs where multiple educators are involved in assessment—such as team teaching, moderation, or competency-based evaluation—there are important questions about…
