Once your first course is connected, you're ready to add links for each lesson in your SI Cloud course so that students can access them.
Follow the steps below to add lesson links to your Canvas course.
1. Select your course in the Dashboard tab in Canvas
2. Locate the module where you want the lesson link and select the "+" button
3. Select "External Tool" from the top dropdown
4. Select the SI Cloud tool from the list
Your LMS Admin selected this name. It is likely "[Course Name] - SI". If you can't find it, contact your admin.
5. Select the lesson you want to add to this module
6. Select "Connect Lesson"
In the next page, you will see the URL and Page Name fields autofilled with the information that Canvas has pulled from Cloud.
Don't edit these values.
7. Select "Add item"
8. Select the "Unpublished" icon to publish the link
9. Select the lesson link you just added
10. Select "Load [lesson name] in a new window"
11. Verify that you are taken to the first page of the lesson
After this page loads, you can close the SI Cloud tab.
If you are taken to a different lesson or an error page, review your selections in previous steps (such as selecting the correct lesson in Step 7 above).
12. Repeat steps 3–11 for each lesson in the course.
Don't worry, lesson links only need to be established when the course is set up for the very first time. Copies of the course create after this point will already be fully integrated with SI Cloud.
13. (Optional) Adjust the settings for each assignment in Canvas as needed
Do not delete these grade items. Adjust the settings as needed, but if the grade items are deleted, Canvas will lose its connection to SI Cloud and grade syncing will not function.
If you don't see the SI lessons in the Assignments page, return to the Modules page and click on the missing lesson's link. Doing so will add it to the Assignments page.
