Pearson materials can be accessed via Launch courseware from VitalSource Course Materials.

  1. Select Open MyLab & Mastering to launch your Pearson course.

 

From here, your course management tools are displayed in three tabs: Home, Grade Sync, and Help & Support.

Home Tab

Home provides content links to instructor and student resources that launches Pearson materials.

Grade Sync Tab

To enable Grade Sync for this course:

  1. Select the Grade Sync button.

  2. Select On for automatic grade sync.

  3. Check boxes for assignments to sync in the Items to Sync section.

    • After you set up grade sync, it can take up to 15 minutes for your assignment to appear on the grade sync tab.

  4. Select Sync Grades Now to refresh the synced grades immediately.

     

     


    Students will be able to open Pearson assignment links from the Canvas assignments page after the first grade sync. 

    When grade sync occurs assignment links will be added to your Canvas Assignments page. After students have joined your course through VitalSource Course Materials, they can open assignments quickly from assignment links.

    Go to the Canvas Assignments or Grades pages to see the synced items and grades. Grades go through a queue process, so it can take some time for submitted grades to sync to Canvas. 

  5. Let your students know there may be a short (15-30 minute) delay between finishing/submitting an assignment and their grades updating in the Canvas Grades page. 

Help & Support Tab

Help & Support areas are included to access Instructor Help, Student Help, or Support. 

Selecting Get Diagnostics provides the course information specific to this course and user. Download the diagnostics as a .txt file. Pearson Support will request this diagnostics file when opening a new Support case.
