Cengage and Canvas: Better Together

When your instructor requests to integrate a Cengage platform into your campus LMS, they'll work with their Learning Consultant who will submit a request to deploy the course content to your institution. The request process ensures we have all the information we need to set up the integration and deploy the right content.

Once this request is submitted, you’ll receive an email containing the configuration parameters for your institution. This includes a Consumer Key, Shared Secret and Configuration URL.

If you haven’t received this information, reach out to the Learning Consultant for the discipline your instructor is teaching to confirm the request was submitted.

From the email, follow the steps in the administrator guide to configure and test the Cengage App. Don’t forget, we use a configuration URL. To test the installation, you will need to sign in with an instructor account.

Once testing has been completed, Cengage will be notified and will deliver the course content to instructors who have adopted our solutions. Instructors will receive an email letting them know the content fulfillment is complete. It will also provide them with a Quick Guide for getting started with the course content in your LMS.

Direct instructors looking for additional support to the Canvas Instructor Support Site where they can access product-specific documentation, tutorials and Getting Started materials for students.

Help instructors place a link to the Cengage Unlimited Student Dashboard into their course. This maintains a seamless experience for students who subscribe to Cengage Unlimited and ensures they have full access to all the Cengage resources available through their subscription from within Canvas. Our quick training video shows how to incorporate this feature.
