How do I add Cengage App to Canvas?

Adding the Cengage app to your Canvas course navigation is a straightforward process often needed if the app isn't visible by default. This allows students and instructors easy access to Cengage resources directly from the course menu.

Steps to Add Cengage App to Canvas Course Navigation

The process involves adjusting your course settings to make the Cengage app visible in the left-hand navigation menu. Follow these simple steps:

1. Navigate to your specific Canvas course where you want to add the Cengage app.
2. From the course navigation, click Settings.
3. Within the Settings menu, locate and click on the Navigation tab. This tab controls the order and visibility of the items in your course navigation menu.
4. On the Navigation page, you will see a list of items. The top list contains items currently visible in the navigation, and the bottom list contains items hidden from the navigation.
5. Drag the Cengage app from the list of hidden items (usually the bottom list) up to the list of visible items (the top list). Place it in the desired order among the other navigation links.
6. Scroll down and click the Save button at the bottom of the page to apply your changes.

Once saved, the Cengage app link will appear in your course navigation menu, making it accessible to course participants.

Why Add the Cengage App?

Typically, the Cengage app is copied when you copy a Canvas course that previously used it. However, it might be hidden in the navigation settings. Adding it to the navigation ensures seamless integration, allowing instructors to link Cengage assignments, grades, and content directly within Canvas, and students to access their required materials easily.

• Easy Access: Provides a direct link for students and instructors.
• Integration: Facilitates linking specific Cengage activities or the entire course.
• Visibility: Ensures the necessary tool is readily available within the course environment.

By following these steps, you can quickly add the Cengage app to your course navigation, improving the user experience for everyone.
