4 What are the first steps I should take to make this process go smoothly? The best way to integrate your Canvas course with a LaunchPad course is to set up LaunchPad first. Below is a list of tasks, each of which links to a how-to article from our LaunchPad instructor's manual or Canvas Deep Integration for LaunchPad: Student's Manual. If you haven't already been sampled access to your LaunchPad title, request access to it. Log in to your LaunchPad title, create a course, and input identifying information. Important note: Do not prompt students to enter their LMS ID. Doing so will conflict with your Canvas and LaunchPad deep integration and cause technical issues. Familiarize yourself with the content. Search for your author's last name in the LaunchPad instructor's manual and look through the tour of student and instructor resources for your title. Make a list of items that you'll want to assign for a grade vs. items you want students to read or walk-through that won't be for a grade. For items that will report to your Canvas gradebook, assign them in LaunchPad, select due dates, enter point values, and create or select LaunchPad gradebook categories. For items that won't report to your Canvas gradebook, you'll be able to import them into your Canvas course without assigning them in LaunchPad. When you've completed your LaunchPad course set up, activate your LaunchPad course. After activating, you'll see auto-generated student registration instructions and will be prompted to distribute them to students. PLEASE IGNORE THESE INSTRUCTIONS! They were designed for students who are not accessing LaunchPad within Canvas. Instead, direct students to the Link Canvas to LaunchPad chapter in the Canvas Deep Integration for LaunchPad: Student's Manual. Please also tell your students that they will be following special instructions to prepare to use LaunchPad inside Canvas. Thus, if students bought a textbook packaged with a LaunchPad access card or a standalone access card from the bookstore, they should ignore the standard registration Page 4

5 instructions included there and instead consult the Canvas Deep Integration for LaunchPad: Student's Manual. When you're done, log in to Canvas, link your Canvas course to your LaunchPad course, and import the LaunchPad assignments you've already created, as well as any other resources you want students to read or walk-through but that you don't wish to grade. Read on in this manual to find out more about bringing LaunchPad content into Canvas. Page 5

6 Confirm that the Macmillan Learning tools are available in your Canvas course Please note that the Canvas/Macmillan LaunchPad integration will be available in your Canvas course only after your Canvas LMS Administrator has completed the integration setup with the assistance of Macmillan Learning. You will be notified by either your Canvas Administrator or your Macmillan Rep when this preparatory work has been completed. Check for Macmillan Learning in left navigation menu On your Canvas course home page, in the Course Navigation panel, confirm that a link exists for Macmillan Learning.

44 I received a pop-up blocker warning and/or an Integration Middleware Error. What does this mean? The Integration Middleware Error often has to do with your browser's pop-up blocker or privacy settings. This article details things you can try to reset your browser then perform the action in your course again that initially triggered the error. Open a new tab or window in your browser, then follow the steps below. For pop-up blockers Allow or make an exception for pop ups at macmillanhighered.com In Firefox In Chrome Refresh your browser Page 44

45 After changing your settings for pop-up windows, refresh your browser by clicking the circular arrow, usually near the top of your browser window where the URL is displayed. Now repeat the action in your course that caused the error the first time around. For an Integration Middleware Error The Integration Middleware Application prompts you to immediately submit a report, but there are adjustments to your browser settings that you might try first. Open a new tab or window and follow the instructions for your browser below. Page 45

50 My students are having trouble linking Canvas to LaunchPad. How can I help them? If students report getting an Integration Middleware Application error message, please send them "I'm trying to link to Canvas to LaunchPad, but I got an Integration Middleware Application error message. What does this mean?" If students mention clicking on something and getting a blank screen or "nothing happening," they may need to adjust their pop-up blockers. Please send them "After I got access to LaunchPad, I clicked Continue to Site, but all I saw was a blank screen. What should I do now?" If students are confused by their access options, please send them the "Select an access option" chapter in the student manual, which explains the difference among registering an access code, purchasing online, and taking advantage of free trial access. Page 50

51 I need my students' grades in Canvas now. Can I manually refresh them? Although the Canvas/Macmillan deep integration provides an automated process for gradesync, grades often take several hours to update. If you need your grades to appear in Canvas immediately, you can use the Manual Grade Refresh support tool. You can use Manual Grade Refresh any time; it won't interfere with the automated gradesync. In your Canvas course, go to Macmillan Learning To perform a manual grade refresh click the Macmillan Learning link in the course navigation panel of your Canvas course. Page 51

52 Click Macmillan Grade Refresh On the Macmillan Tools page click the Macmillan Grade Refresh option. The Grade Refresh page will open in a new tab or window. Click Refresh Grades Note that all gradable assignments you imported into Canvas are listed here on the Macmillan Higher Education Grade Refresh page, with the possible exception of assignments imported in the last 15 minutes. Accept all defaults and click Refresh Grades. Page 52

53 You may see a message alerting you that the task is in progress. Canvas will perform the gradebook refresh for all the items listed and display a success message. Confirm grades have been posted Proceed to the Canvas gradebook and confirm that the students scores have been posted. Page 53

54 Not all of my students' grades are appearing in my Canvas gradebook. What could be the issue? You can use the Macmillan Roster Information page to track which students have completed single sign on registration with LaunchPad through Canvas. It's important for students to complete single sign on, for if they don't, the grades of assignments they've completed in LaunchPad will not flow into Canvas, even if you perform a manual grade refresh. If your students report completing their work, but you're not seeing their grades in your Canvas gradebook, then chances are they're going to your LaunchPad course URL rather than opening their assignments from inside Canvas. Please follow these instructions to identify which students haven't completed single sign on, then send them the directions to do so. Click Macmillan Learning Page 54

55 To access the Macmillan Roster Information page click the Macmillan Learning link in the course navigation panel of your Canvas course. Click Macmillan Roster Information On the Macmillan Tools page click Macmillan Roster Information. Look for students missing an address Page 55

56 On the Macmillan Higher Education Roster page, confirm that all students actively enrolled in your Canvas course have an address listed in the Macmillan Higher Education Account column. The presence of an address confirms that students have completed single sign on registration from Canvas. The LaunchPad grades of students listed on this roster without an address will not automatically or manually flow into Canvas. Please send students instructions on how to link their LaunchPad accounts to your Canvas course. Page 56

57 I associated my Canvas course with the wrong LaunchPad course. How can I fix this? If you first linked your Canvas course to the wrong LaunchPad course, you can correct the pairing by unlinking the two courses, then re-associating your Canvas course with a different LaunchPad course. ** Very important note: If there are students already enrolled in your LaunchPad course, please contact your Macmillan Sales Engineer before performing this operation. In certain integration scenarios you will need the assistance of your Macmillan Sales Engineer and/or Macmillan Higher Education s Technical Support to effect a clean break between your Canvas course and the LaunchPad course. Open your Canvas course and go to Macmillan Learning To access the Unlink Macmillan Course page click the Macmillan Learning link in the course navigation panel of your Canvas course. Page 57
