Step 5

From the dropdown menu, select External Tool. Next, find and click on the Follett-Willo Digital Delivery 1.3 link. If you do not see this option, your campus LMS Administrator may have named it something different such as Willo, Follett-Willo, or something similar. Find one that is similar to one of the options. Then, click Add Item. If you are unable to find the link, you can click on the three dots to the right of +Module and select the Follett-Willo Digital Delivery 1.3 tool. You may be able to find the link listed here.

If you can find the Follett-Willo Digital Delivery 1.3 tool from this menu, skip to Step 6.

Adding the Follett-Willo Digital Delivery 1.3 Link Manually:

Next, provide a Name for the tool in the Name field (you can title this as Follett-Willo Digital Delivery or something similar) and copy the appropriate URL into the URL field:

 

For USA: https://app2.willolabs.com/onelink/

If you've (1) entered a Name for the Link, (2) entered the appropriate URL, and (3) have placed a check-mark in the "Load in a new tab" box, you can now click Add Item to add the link within the module area of your Canvas course.

Part Three: Adding Product/Publisher Link(s) to Your Course

 

Step 10

Select Continue to Publisher on the right to proceed to Cengage.

• Note: We’ll revisit this page later in the process to add the course support link(s).

 

Step 11

Log into your Cengage account using your Cengage credentials.  

 

 

Step 12

 

Step 13

Select your adopted Cengage product. If no product is listed, you may search for the product. After you've selected your product, click Continue.

 

 

 

Step 14

To ensure that your students see instant, codeless access to the Cengage materials, click the Inclusive Access option and then click Continue.

 

 

Step 15

Choose from the options below how you would like to set up your course:

1. Create a new course

2. Copy your existing course (available only if built with the same Cengage product)

3. Copy another instructor’s course using a Course Key (same product required)

4. Link to an existing course (only if it has no student enrollments)

Select the option that best fits your needs, then click Continue.

 

 

Step 16

Note: The following option applies only to courses using MindTap.

Gradebook Sync Options for MindTap:
Choose how grades will appear in your Canvas gradebook:

• Individual columns – displays each assignment separately

• Single column – displays one overall course score

Select your preferred option, then click Continue.

 

 

Step 17

Your Cengage product is now paired with your Canvas course.

Now that the pairing is complete, you may (1) deploy a single, course-level link into your Canvas course by selecting Add Course Link or (2) deploy individual assignment-level links within your course by selecting Select Content.

 

 

Note: You may return to the Cengage Content Selector to deploy additional Cengage links within your course at any time. For additional information related to adding Cengage content within your Canvas course, please see the section titled Adding Cengage Links to your Course below.

 

 

Step 18

After adding the Cengage content links, return to your Canvas course resources module to add the Course Support link(s). Follow the same process as in Steps 4 and 5:

• Choose External Tool from the drop-down menu, then select Follett-Willo Digital Delivery 1.3 to open the Course Management screen. This time, check the Course Support link(s) you want to include and click Push Links.

Note: The  Course Support  link is available for students and faculty. Faculty should encourage students to use this link to open a ticket with our helpdesk if they have any issues accessing the course materials. 

Note: The Instructor Self-Service link should be hidden from students, as it is for instructor use only and directs you to the  Course Management  page.

 

Step 19

You’ll receive a success message. Select Close Window and return to your Canvas module area to verify the course support links you selected are now available in your course.

 

 

 

Your course material links are now paired with your Canvas course!

Adding Cengage Activity Links to Your Course

Step 1.

Click on the Follett-Willo Digital Delivery 1.3 link that you created in Steps 4-5 above.

Step 2.

Click Add Publisher Links, then click Continue to Cengage.

Click Select Content.

Step 4.

Select the content you’d like to import by clicking the boxes on the right side of your page. When you’re done with your selections, click the blue Continue button.
