Upgrade new courses to Access Pearson
Upgrade to Access Pearson: The Revel and eText (LTI 1.1) tool is no longer available for associating Revel content with new Blackboard courses after December 1, 2024. For Canvas, D2L Brightspace, and Moodle, the LTI 1.1 tool is no longer available for associating new courses after June 15, 2025. You need to use Access Pearson (LTI 1.3) for associating new LMS courses after the upgrade date. You can still access existing Blackboard courses associating using LTI 1.1 until December 31, 2024. You can still access existing Canvas, D2L Brightspace, and Moodle courses associating using LTI 1.1 until the course end date.
The LTI 1.3 tool has the latest improvements, including enhanced grade sync details.
This upgrade applies to the Revel and eText Standard (LTI 1.1) and some Pearson Seamless integrations for Canvas, D2L Brightspace, and Moodle. It doesn't apply to Blackboard, Sakai, and Schoology and to CPI Partner and Direct integrations.
