Want to make your life easier? Check out LMS Integration

Keep all your course content and students’ grades in one place, with one sign-in.

Integration Options

Basic Integration

Single Link to the Macmillan Course will be inserted by the instructor in their LMS. Students complete single-sign-on through the link to connect their Macmillan and LMS accounts. Once this occurs, students will have seamless access to their Macmillan Course through their campus LMS using only the LMS username and password.

Single Gradebook Column will be returned from the Macmillan site to the LMS course with a total score of Macmillan course assignments.

Manual Grade sync - Instructors hit the Grade Sync button within their Macmillan gradebook to sync grades with LMS.

Available with: Achieve, Achieve Read & Practice, Achieve Essentials, Hayden-McNeil Online Courses, and iClicker.

Deep Integration

Deep Asset Linking allows for links to individual Macmillan Content to be organized by the instructor into LMS Content folders. Students complete single-sign-on through the link to connect their Macmillan and LMS accounts. Once this occurs, students will have seamless access to the Macmillan Content through their campus LMS using only the LMS username and password.

Multiple gradebook columns will automatically generate for each Macmillan assignment deployed to the LMS, allowing for assignments to be combined into gradebook categories within the LMS for gradebook calculations like dropping lowest scores or weighted percentages.

Automatic grade sync occurs with Deep integration.

Available with: Achieve, Achieve Read & Practice, Achieve Essentials, iClicker, LaunchPad, and Writer’s Help.

LMS FAQs

What is the difference between platform integration and campus LMS ID grade export?
- 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.
Why would I choose platform integration?
- 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)
Why would I choose to use the campus LMS ID feature?
- 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.
How do I access the campus LMS ID feature?
- Please visit our website for additional information on LaunchPad and Writer's Help 2.0 and to gain access to the ID field.
Which LMS partners does Macmillan work with?
- 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.
How do I get started with platform integration?
- 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.
