This article summarizes how to integrate the new Macmillan learning tool integration 1.3 (LTI) with Canvas.

Macmillan provided the information directly to faculty and Learning Technology Solutions (LTS).

Video Instructions

Macmillan provided this video walkthrough of how to use the LTI 1.3 technology within your Canvas course.

Written Instructions

The video transcript was used in a ChatGPT Pro prompt to create the written instructions, which were then reviewed and refined by LTS.

  1. Prepare Your Achieve and Canvas Courses

    1. Make sure your Canvas and Achieve courses are created and ready for integration. Without prepared courses, the integration cannot proceed.

  2. Go to your Achieve dashboard and Edit Course Settings to ensure the Achieve course is correctly set up to connect with Canvas. Edit the course to include:

    1. Course name, course code, and institution.

    2. Set the course term as current and ensure the course end date is in the future.

    3. Set course status to "Active on Date."

    4. Enable LMS integration and select Canvas.

  3. Add a Module to the Canvas course you plan to connect to. This will be the container for your Achieve content.

    1. Select

  4. Add External Tool for Integration

    1. In the new Canvas module, select the external tool option and choose "Macmillan LTI Advantage Course Tools (LTI 1.3)." This links your Canvas course to the Achieve course, enabling synchronization.

  5. Confirm your Achieve and Canvas email addresses match.

    1. Authorize the connection and then select the corresponding Achieve course to link.

  6. Assign Content in Achieve by:

    1. Adding a due date and point value and ensuring it’s visible to students.

    2. Selecting the "Sync to Canvas" option and a Canvas module.

  7. Sync and Refresh Content. You will need to allow time for Achieve content to sync with Canvas. Avoid refreshing grades or content until the process is complete. This will help you prevent data loss or errors during the initial syncing process.

  8. Verify Content in Canvas by checking the Canvas module for the synced Achieve content.

    1. Ensure all items are published for visibility and grade synchronization.

  9. Maintain Key Canvas Links

    • Keep the "Macmillan LTI Advantage Course Tools (LTI 1.3)" link in the module and visible to students. This provides students and instructors access to tools like grade refresh, content refresh, and support.

  10. Ongoing Manual Adjustments and Troubleshooting

    • Use grade or content refresh tools after initial syncing to update changes like due dates or point values. This ensures Canvas reflects the most current Achieve course data.

Additional Notes:

  • Pop-Up Blockers: Disable them to ensure Achieve links open correctly for students.

  • Help Available: Macmillan offers onboarding specialists to assist with this process.
