Identify your integration

An institution uses a Learning Management System (LMS) to track and deliver online courses and learning tools. You access your assignments, homework, and quizzes from an LMS course. You might work in Blackboard, Canvas, D2L Brightspace, Moodle, Sakai, or Schoology.

Use diagnostics to identify your integration

The Launch Type in diagnostics shows the integration associated with your LMS course. Contact your instructor if you still need help identifying your integration.

Integration type	Launch type
Access Pearson, including Pearson Seamless	Standard integration LTI 1.3
MyLab and Mastering	Standard integration LTI 1.1
Access Pearson Codeless	Channel partner integration LTI 1.3
CPI Partner	Channel partner integration LTI 1.1

For example:

MyLab and Mastering or Access Pearson integration

Your institution might use a MyLab and Mastering or Access Pearson integration. These integrations have some differences in their work flows. The link for the MyLab and Mastering integration is usually named MyLab and Mastering. The link for the Access Pearson integration is usually named Access Pearson. Check with your LMS administrator if you're unsure which integration was set up for you.

With these integrations, you link your LMS and Pearson accounts and are usually prompted to pay for access.

Direct integration

Your institution might work with Pearson to add Direct integration links to your LMS course. You generally don't access these links from the left navigation, except in Blackboard and Moodle. You might see the links in content, topics, lessons, assignments, or modules such as Student Resources. These links often include the MyLab or Mastering product name. For example, Mastering Biology - Student Resources.

With a Direct integration, there's no need to link your LMS and Pearson accounts and you won't be prompted to pay for access.

Partner CPI or Access Pearson Codeless integration

Your institution might use MyLab and Mastering through a bookstore, including Barnes & Noble, Follett-Willo, RedShelf, or VitalSource.

You open MyLab and Mastering from the bookstore integration in your LMS course. Select the Course Materials link. Then check your opt status and, if applicable, select Launch Courseware or Access Courseware. Then link your LMS and Pearson accounts. Depending on your opt status, you might not be prompted to pay for access.
