Get started with Macmillan LaunchPad in Canvas

On this page:


Overview

Macmillan LaunchPad is an external tool that an instructor can add to any Canvas course. Instructors can also pair Canvas courses with Macmillan LaunchPad textbooks, enabling them and their students to use LaunchPad's interactive instructional materials. Grades earned in Macmillan LaunchPad quizzes and assignments can be synced with the Canvas Gradebook.

Note:
UITS recommends instructors teaching in Canvas at Indiana University use IU eTexts to adopt texts and digital learning tools (DLT) materials from Pearson, McGraw-Hill, Macmillan, Cengage, or Wiley Publishers. In addition to significant discounts off list prices, benefits of using IU eTexts include streamlined integration into Canvas, single sign-on for students (meaning no access codes), and local technical support for faculty and students via the Support Center and IU eTexts Service Catalog.
