Updated on

Cengage content can be utilized in Canvas in three different ways; Homework Platforms + eBook, Cengage Infuse + ebook, and eBook only. This guide will cover the homework platform setup process.

Start in Canvas Modules

1. From the Modules area in your Canvas course please select the "three dots" menu next to the + Module button at the top.

4. Select Add Homework Platform button to begin the setup process in Cengage. The list should have all of the readily available Cengage Homework Platform offerings.

If the eBook you are looking for is not present on this list please use this page to contact your Cengage Representative to ask for it to be included in the UTSA list.

5. Now the Cengage window titled "Homework Platforms for Your Institution" should be loaded and you can either scroll the list for your selection or type it into the search window.
