Basic integration is simple and allows for single sign-on and gradebook sync. Deep integration, in addition, provides a seamless experience that enables you to customize and manage your course, deeply link to our content at the asset level, and manage all grades and assignments. Using the campus LMS ID in LaunchPad or Writer's Help 2.0 provides a manual process that enables you to more easily export grades and match them to the students in your LMS gradebook. This tool does not include Single Sign On but it is a powerful tool for grade management.

The benefits of integration are numerous and they center around enhanced user experience between your campus course space and your Macmillan course space. The most commonly stated benefits include:

• • easier access for students to our content (single sign on)
• • easier course organization & management for instructors with the content you use across courses
• • pairing additional course tools from an LMS (discussion boards, chat, gradebook functionality) with our content
• • uniform experience for students and instructors across courses
• • increased student use of course content (according to feedback from our customers)

The campus LMS ID feature in LaunchPad/Writer's Help 2.0 allows you a simple and easy method to export your grades from Macmillan, making it easier to import them into your LMS. It is a button that you can activate or deactivate independent of any campus IT policies. This option doesn’t require the involvement of your campus IT; however, it only offers an option for grade export and does not include single sign on.

Please visit our website for additional information on LaunchPad and Writer's Help 2.0 and to gain access to the ID field.

We currently work with Blackboard Learn, Brightspace, Canvas, Moodle and Joule by Moodlerooms. Click on the support documentation below to find out more details about the integration with each different LMS.

After consulting with your Macmillan sales representative on the availability of integration and the LMS in use at your school, we can get started as soon as your Macmillan course is up and running. You will also need to check with your campus IT department to make sure there are not any policies in place that would prevent you from using our integration services, as well as confirm that your IT department is willing to work with you—and Macmillan—on getting your integration up and running.

There is no additional cost for this service, beyond the cost of the basic product (Achieve Read & Practice, Sapling, LaunchPad, FlipIt, or Writer’s Help). Please consult our web site or contact your local sales representative for current pricing of your Macmillan course space.
