Transition existing courses to Access Pearson

Follow these instructions to transition an active Canvas, D2L Brightspace, or Moodle course associated via the Revel and eText tool to Access Pearson.

IMPORTANT: When you follow the instructions below, you must remove the course association via the Revel and eText tool, before associating the same Revel content via Access Pearson. This prevents grade sync issues.

Step 1: Preserve student work

If students have already enrolled and completed work in your Revel content, use the Pearson gradebook to export their grades.

How to export Revel grades

Step 2: Disable grade sync for the old integration

If grade sync has already been set up, you must turn automatic grade sync off in your Revel content. This prevents new or duplicate grade items from being created in your LMS gradebook by syncing grades from the original Revel content.

Step 3: Delete the old course association

Delete the association between your LMS course and Revel content from diagnostics.

How to delete the course association

If you don't see the option to remove the course association in diagnostics, you won't be able to delete the previous Revel course. Instead, hide or unpublish any future Revel assignments in the old course.

Remove the old Revel and eText tool

Remove or hide the Revel and eText tool to access the old Revel content, so students don't use it.

Step 4: Add a copy of your Revel content via Access Pearson

Now that you’ve removed the old Revel content from student access, you’re ready to associate a copy of that content with your LMS course.

How to set up Revel content in your LMS course

Access Pearson link: You must use the new Access Pearson link to open and copy Revel content to your LMS course. Don't select the old Pearson, Revel and eText, or a prior assignment or course tool link. If you do, the LMS course will be associated via the Revel and eText tool (LTI 1.1) or instead of Access Pearson (LTI 1.3). Students also need to use the new Access Pearson link to open your Pearson content from the LMS course. Links to prior Revel assignments or course tools within your LMS no longer work for students and may produce error messages.

Step 5: Share registration instructions with students

Students need to register for your new Revel content to begin or continue working.

Pearson account: Students must register using the same Pearson account they used to access your previous Revel content. Otherwise, they may be prompted to purchase access again.

Step 6: Import preserved student work

If you exported student grades from the gradebook for the deleted Revel content, manually add those grades for the specific students on the specific assignments in the gradebook for the new Revel content.

There is no grade import option for Revel. You can assign scores per assessment per student from your exported results in the new Revel content.

You can transition a copy of a Canvas, D2L Brightspace, or Moodle course associated via the Revel and eText tool (LTI 1.1) to Access Pearson (LTI 1.3).

Step 1: Prepare your copied LMS course for Access Pearson

With Access Pearson, you can still sync grades and create Revel assignment or course tool links in your LMS course. You can also copy previous Revel content when setting up Access Pearson, so you’ll retain any Revel assignments you typically copy from term to term.

You need to associate a copy of Revel content with your copied LMS course using Access Pearson (LTI 1.3) instead of the prior Revel and eText or Partner Integration tool or Partner Integration (LTI 1.1).

Follow the instructions below to prepare your copied LMS course for Access Pearson. After you associate Revel content with your LMS course via Access Pearson, you won't need to prepare your LMS course each term moving forward. You don't need to make any changes to your Revel content.

1. Remove the Revel grade columns from the LMS course. If you're working within a copied course from a prior semester, delete the Pearson grade columns from the LMS gradebook. LMS grades remain in the prior LMS course. Additionally, Pearson grades can be accessed via Revel for future reference.

2. Hide the old Pearson or Revel and eText link in the LMS course. Hide or delete the prior link to open Revel from LMS course navigation. This prevents students from accidentally using the prior link. The prior link might be called Pearson or Revel and eText. Instead, students use a new link called Access Pearson.

   D2L Brightspace only: If applicable, edit your course home page and remove the Pearson or Revel and eText widget.

Assignment or course tool links: Assignment or course tool links weren't available in an LMS course associated via the Revel and eText tool or Partner Integration (LTI 1.1). However, you can add these links after you associate your LMS course using Access Pearson (LTI 1.3). See Add assignment or course tool links for instructions.

Step 2: Set up your LMS course for Revel content

You're ready to set up Access Pearson for Revel content in your LMS course.

Important notes

• Getting started: From your LMS course, select Access Pearson. You'll be prompted to select Open Pearson and then the Revel and eText product.
• Student View: To access the student view of the Revel content as an instructor, remove the LMS Student View filter, select Open Pearson, and then select a student assignment or course tool link. If you select the Access Pearson link from the Student View, you’ll get error code: SOCKET_LS_T_03.
• Multi-semester or sequential courses: If the second half of a multi-semester course must be completed using Access Pearson, students are prompted to link accounts using their Pearson account the first time they open the content via Access Pearson. It's critical that students link accounts using the same Pearson username and password as the first part of the course. This ensures their access to Pearson content without being prompted for payment.

Step 3: Enroll students in the copied course

Share the registration instructions for your LMS with students.
