Overview
Cengage allows an instructor to pair a Brightspace course with Cengage content and activities using LTI. An instructor builds External Learning Tool (LTI) links to Cengage resources and inserts them into the Brightspace Content tool. Students will then be able to visit the Cengage resource to view the materials and assignments.
In the summer of 2022, the Cengage integration was updated to a new version (LTI 1.3).
