How do I set up Cengage as eBook only?

Updated on

Overview

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 eBook only process.

Start in Canvas Modules

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

In the pop-up window that shows up you will select the Cengage option from the list.

Now the Cengage selection window will load and display the options for Homework Platforms + eBook, Cengage Infuse + eBook, and eBook only (our choice in this case).

Select the "Add eBook" button to begin the setup process in Cengage.

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.

Now the Cengage window titled "Search All Cengage eBooks" should be loaded and you can search for Author, title or ISBN of the book you need.

For our example I have searched for "Psychology". In the image below you can see the eTexts have two options: Link Individual Chapters or Link Full eBook. You can also view the eBooks from this list so you can verify the content before adopting the book.
