Enable Access Pearson Codeless

Your institution may offer students the option to opt in to add the cost of Revel content to their tuition or fees. This is available from your bookstore through Access Pearson Codeless as part of your Inclusive Access or institutional-bill program. Bookstores include Barnes & Noble, Follett-Willo, RedShelf, or VitalSource. When students opt out, they can buy access through Pearson using a credit card or, if available, PayPal or Apple Pay.

Your LMS administrator usually works with the bookstore to integrate Access Pearson Codeless with your LMS course. To enable Access Pearson Codeless, select the bookstore link and access your Revel content. For instructions, select your bookstore below. The name and location of the bookstore link depends on the course setup. The link is sometimes named Course Materials and may include your bookstore name.

Student access to Revel via Barnes & Noble, Follett-Willo, RedShelf, or VitalSource: Select the bookstore link to ensure Access Pearson Codeless is enabled. Make the link visible to students to allow them to manage the opt status by following your institution's process. This prevents issues with student access.

Not sure how to find the bookstore link or don't see the right Pearson content? Check the instructions below. If you still have trouble, contact your bookstore or LMS administrator.

Step 1: Set up Access Pearson for your LMS

Before you enable Access Pearson Codeless, you may want to set up Access Pearson if available. For instructions, select your LMS:

Blackboard Original

Blackboard Ultra

Canvas

D2L Brightspace

Moodle

Sakai

Schoology

Step 2: Hide the Revel and eText tool link

If the old Revel and eText tool link for LTI 1.1 is still visible, it could confuse students. This link is usually named Pearson. Hide the link from students and don't use the link to add or copy Revel content to your LMS course. This helps avoid issues with student access and purchase.

Make sure you don't hide the Access Pearson link.

How to identify your integration: Check the Launch Type in Diagnostics if you're unsure which integration you're using. The Launch Type for Access Pearson Codeless is Channel partner integration LTI 1.3. The Launch Type for Access Pearson is Standard integration LTI 1.3.

Link accounts and add or copy Revel content

Depending on whether you're using Access Pearson or a bookstore alone or in combination, your next step is:

  • Access Pearson and bookstore: If you linked accounts and associated courses using Access Pearson, you don't have to repeat these steps after enabling Access Pearson Codeless. You can access your Revel content from the Access Pearson or bookstore link.
  • Bookstore only: If you're using a bookstore but not Access Pearson, you need to link accounts and finish setting up your integration after you enable Access Pearson Codeless. Select your LMS for instructions.
