How to integrate Norton activities into your Canvas course
The information below covers the steps neccessary to set up the Norton integration in your course.
INSTRUCTORS: Before you begin:
- If you are using Inclusive Access, you must have made prior arrangements with the UNM Main Campus Bookstore to utilize Norton materials.
- This setup should be done prior to your course opening to students in Canvas, so that they have time to access the materials (work out any technical issues), and if they choose to do so, time to opt-out before the opt-out period has ended.
- Instructors must also create an account (username/ email and password) to be able to log in with W.W. Norton before proceeding with the instructions below. If you do not have one, it is recommended to contact your Norton representative for further assistance.
NOTE: Before enabling Norton, will first want to follow the instructions to configure RedShelf in your course. Your Norton materials may be given to you in one of two forms:
As a course package that can be uploaded to your course. This typically will contain External Links AND pre-built Canvas assessments. Course packages can be imported into your Canvas course by following these Import instructions.
As a URL that can be used to create an External Link to your Norton materials via an Assignment
For a Norton product home page, the URL will look similar to: https://ncia.wwnorton.com/productname-BOOKCODE where "productname" is replaced with the name of the Norton learning tool and "BOOKCODE" is replaced with the code for the book you are using.
For a direct link to a Norton activity, the URL will look similar to: https://ncia.wwnorton.com/NNNNN where "NNNNN" is replaced Norton digital learning tool activity.
