FAQ

Why aren’t my publisher tools available automatically on my course?

Some publisher tools may not be automatically available in the course. If you don't see a tool listed above, please check the following area below:

  • Blackboard: Go to Control Panel > Customization > Tool Availability and check any boxes next to the tool name(s).
  • Canvas: On your course navigation menu, click on the course settings, click on the navigation tab, and then simply drag (or enable) the publisher tools into the Canvas course navigation.

Where can I find support for my publisher content?

In most case your publisher representative/support can often provide the best support, as they have access to your course in their system.
