Faculty Canvas Page Setup for Cengage Courseware

Faculty set up page for cengage

TO DO LIST

  • If you copied a previous semesters Canvas page over to your current semester and your course had the DayONE Access Module and link already on it, then this will copy over to your current semesters Canvas page. You will find that you have both the copied Module and link from your previous page and the auto uploaded one from VitalSource, delete one.
  • Move the DayONE Access Module to the top of the Modules page so that students can easily find their course materials. (Video Instructions HERE)
  • If this is your first time your course is in the DayONE Access program, you will only have the DayONE Access module and link auto uploaded by VitalSource.
  • This new link will be found under Modules. The module is named: DayONE Access (eTextbook and Courseware) Please do not change the name of this Module.
  • Add the Cengage MindTap link in the DayONE (eTextbook and courseware) module so that your link for students to access MindTap will be directly under the DayONE Access (eTextbook and courseware) link. Name the MindTap “Click here to access MindTap” (students will also be able to access assignments from the assignments tab from the left-hand navigation bar as well if you have your course set up this way)
  • See example below.
  • Add a new tab to the DayONE Access module that includes the instructions below. (Name this tab something like: “How to find your e-text and MindTap” or “Instructions for accessing course materials”)
  • Add a new tab to the DayONE Access module named “Troubleshooting Tips”, add Troubleshooting tips sent to you attached to this email.

                                                                           

  • You may want to update the name of the DayONE Access link to let students know that this link will only be used if they want to Opt Out of the materials and source them on their own. See example below:

If you opt Out, you will be responsible for purchasing these materials on your own. A refund of your book/courseware fee will be put back on your student account for you to receive your refund in 4-6 weeks. You will lose access to your courseware after the pot out deadline; the 8th day of classes for 16 week classes and the 6th day of class for 8 week classes.

You can opt back in at any time before the opt Out deadline; the option to opt in will not be available after the opt Out date.
