Add Cengage 1.3 to Your Course

1. Create a new module and name it [Cengage 1.3]. Click on [Add Existing Activities] → [Add Cengage Content].
   
   

   NOTE: You may have to enable pop-ups on your web browser for the Cengage Content window to appear.

   
   
2. On the following page, you'll be presented with the following options:
   
   
   1. Online Learning Platform + eBook - This option will include both the ebook and assignments. Click [Select Platform] for this option.
      
      
   2. eBook Only - This option will only include the eBook, with no assignments. Click [Select eBook Only] for this option.
      
      

3. You can find your textbook In the Search field below. Use a generic word for phrase for a proper search.
   Once the textbook is found, select the correct bubble listed under your textbook.
   
   

4.  [Individual Student Purchase] should be selected automatically for the License Type page. Click [Continue].
   
   

5. On the following page, you'll be presented with the following options:

   1. [Create a new course]
      
      
   2. [Copy from an Existing Course] – Allows you to copy a course from a course that you previously built.
      
      
   3. [Copy another instructor's course with a course key] – Select this if your department has a master course to copy from. This requires a Course Key from the master course creator.
      
      
   4. [Link to a course that was already created] – Links the D2L course to an already existing Cengage course. For example, if you have already made a copy of your Fall course in the Cengage website to use in Spring, then you can link the D2L course to the newly created Spring course in Cengage. It is important to note that you cannot link to an existing Cengage course if the Cengage course already has students in the course.
      
      Click [Continue] to complete this step.
      
      

      NOTE: The last three choices here (B, C, D) can only be selected if there are no students in the Cengage course yet. If there are students, select [Create a new course from scratch].

   4. Click [Finish] to complete this step.
      
      

8. On the next page, you can choose from:

   1. [Add Course Link] - This will create a single link through which students will access the entire Cengage course.

   2. [Select Content] - This will take you to a page where you will deploy individual Cengage assignment links to D2L.
