Transitioning to McGraw Hill Connect LTI Advantage

Starting with the Summer 2023 session, faculty will move to using the McGraw-Hill Connect LTIA integration. LTI Advantage is the new standard in integrations and various integrations are being updated for this standard.

Faculty using McGraw-Hill Connect content are encouraged to setup their Connect course site prior to integrating with their MyClasses course.  The integration with MyClasses and Connect allows for the following:

• Single-sign on for faculty and students
• Grade synchronization
• Ability to have assignments and activities deployed to MyClasses Canvas for direct links within a course (often called deep integration)

The following step-by-step guides detail the main processes for a faculty member to setup their Connect integration.

This guide provides instructions for individuals who:

• Have existing course in MyClasses using McGraw-Hill Connect who need to move to the new LTIA integration.
• First time using McGraw-Hill Connect integrations with MyClasses. (Skip to Pairing MyClasses Course to Connect Section)
• Copying courses who are using McGraw-Hill Connect LTIA integration. (Skip to Reusing MyClasses course from previous course with Connect LTIA)
  
  

Before you begin moving to the new LTIA integration: 

In MyClasses:

If you have copied content from a previous semester MyClasses section: 

1. Delete any existing Connect assignment gradebook columns in your course in MyClasses.
