Last Modified on 08/18/2025 1:22 pm CDT

These instructions include tutorial videos from Pearson. It is highly recommended that you read the steps and watch the videos before performing them.

LSC-Online does not have access to your Pearson account. For integration issues or questions, please contact your Pearson representative.

ALERT: You MUST use the following steps to add Pearson MyLab and Mastering or Pearson Revel to your D2L course, and have students access Pearson via the D2L link, in order to correctly integrate your D2L course with Pearson. 

If you create your course on the Pearson website separately, and students access the course directly through Pearson without going through D2L, then the Pearson course cannot be integrated with D2L afterwards. 

Accessing Pearson from Course Materials in D2L (for courses that are part of the Star Bundle)

  1. In your D2L course, select [Course Materials] from the Navbar. The Course Materials Dashboard will open in a new browser tab.

  2. In the Course Materials Dashboard, click [My Courses] to display the Course Materials. Identify the Pearson eText associated with your course—the eBook will be listed under the course materials for the current term. Click the [Open] button next to the eText associated with your course to launch the tool.

    NOTE: The Course Materials Dashboard displays all the materials for the current term. Please make sure you are choosing the course materials for the correct course before clicking the [Open] button.

    NOTE: If prompted, sign in with your Pearson credentials to complete the access process.

    2. Pair an existing course: For example, it is possible to select a course from a previous semester.

      NOTE: It is not possible to create a course on Pearson's portal first, then linking it to your D2L course from Pearson's portal. Instead, you can copy content from an existing Pearson course during this step of the process, and a new course will be automatically created at Pearson's portal.
