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:

• Are Using McGraw-Hill Connect integrations with MyClasses for the first time. (Skip to Pairing MyClasses Course to Connect Section For the First Time)
• Are copying courses who are using McGraw-Hill Connect LTIA integration. (Skip to Reusing MyClasses Course from Previous Course with Connect LTIA)
  
• Have existing course in MyClasses using the OLD McGraw-Hill Connect who need to move to the NEW LTIA integration. (Skip to Reusing MyClasses course from previous course with OLD McGraw Hill Connect integration)
• Need a reminder on how to Deploy Connect Assignments (Skip to Deploying Connect Assignments to your MyClasses Course)

Copying a MyClasses course using the OLD McGraw-Hill Connect who need to move to the NEW LTIA integration: 

Start In Connect:

1. Duplicate the Connect section previously paired with the MyClasses section.
2. Update any assignments or settings, as desired, such as assignment due dates or point values. Note: You can do this after pairing, but changes may not reflect right away in MyClasses.

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. Existing Connect assignment links will not work with the new integration and they will be duplicated after deploying Connect assignments using the new integration. If you do not delete previous Connect Assignments from your MyClasses course, you will have duplicate assignments and gradebook columns and will have to manually delete assignments linked with the old McGraw Hill Pairing.
   
   

2. Refer to the "Pairing MyClasses Course with Connect Course Section - First Time Users" to complete your course set-up
