Transition Direct Integration courses to Access Pearson

Upgrade new LMS courses to Access Pearson (LTI 1.3). You can still access existing courses paired using Direct Integration (LTI 1.1) until the course end date.

  1. Prepare your LMS course for Access Pearson.
  2. Use Access Pearson to pair your courses.
  3. Import assignments into your paired MyLab or Mastering course.
  4. Set up your paired MyLab or Mastering course.

Step 1: Prepare your LMS course for Access Pearson

Before you add Access Pearson to your new LMS course, do any of the following that apply:

  • Remove prior Pearson assignment links that may have been imported from a previous term.
  • Delete any copied course tool links, including MyLab and Mastering Course Home, MyLab Skills, and Study Area.
  • Delete any prior Pearson grade columns from your new LMS course. Do this before you enable grade sync to prevent duplicate grade items.

Step 2: Use Access Pearson to pair your courses

Use the Access Pearson tool to pair your new LMS course with a MyLab or Mastering course.

Select your LMS for instructions:
