Thank you for downloading our faculty guide for adding the bookstore link to your course site. The instructions are below. For your convenience, we have also created video instructions. Click here to view.

Adding the Bookstore Links to a Module in Your Course

This link takes your students to the campus bookstore, where they will sign in with their bookstore credentials or create a new account. Once there, they can search for their courses to see the required and recommended materials in all available formats along with all available pricing. They will be able to purchase their materials using any form of tender including financial aid or campus debit.

• Access a course from your Courses menu.
• Select Content from the horizontal menu.
• If adding the link to an existing module, select it from your list.
  1. If you wish for the links to appear in in a new module, type the module name in the “Add a module…” text box. We suggest naming the module “Course Materials” or “Campus Bookstore.”
     • Hit Enter on your keyboard to create the new module.

• In your module, click “Add Existing Activities.” Then, select External Learning Tools (or Third-Party Integrations).
