Step 1: Setting up your Norton course
- From a D2L/Brightspace course, create a module where you would like to add Norton activity links. In the module click "Add Existing Activities" , select the tool called “Follett-Willo Digital Delivery 1.3”. (The name may vary slightly at your campus.)
- Click Continue in a new window button
- If your course materials have not yet been paired, you will be prompted to enter a Product Token. See here for more information on Product Tokens.
- In Course Management, click Add Publisher Links, and then Continue to W. W. Norton
- Log in using the email and password tied to your Norton account. If you don’t have a Norton account yet, reach out to your Norton rep for help.
- Follow the steps in the wizard to create a Norton course, which is matched to your D2L/Brightspace course. You’ll need to set this up just once per D2L/Brightspace course.
- Step 1. This step confirms that you’re connected with your D2L/Brightspace course
- Step 2. Confirm that the course material paired to your course is correct. If this is not correct, please contact your bookstore to get it updated to the correct material before proceeding.
- If applicable, confirm whether your course is participating in your school’s inclusive or equitable access program. Note that this program can be called different names.
- Step 3. Enter some required course details.
- Step 4. Confirm all your course information and create the course. (Or, to correct anything, use the “Previous” button to go back and edit it.)
Step 2: Adding deep links to course material
Choose your integration type
For graded assignments, you may choose to send individual assignment links (most popular), or product homepage links.
- Choose individual assignment links if you want your students to access separate links for each assignment in Canvas. This will create separate grade columns in the Canvas grade book for each assignment per student.
- Choose product homepage links if you want your student to have one link in Canvas for each Norton product. This will create one grade column for each Norton product in the Canvas gradebook per student. This grade is a cumulative average of all assignments for that product.
Add Links
- Choose course material to add to your D2L/Brightspace course
- If LMS Grade Column is on, the link will send as an Assignment and create a grade column with the specified LMS point value. Edit the LMS point value by typing a new value in the box.
- Due dates can be set for graded, individual assignment links.
- If you turn LMS Grade Column off, the link will be sent as a link to a Module, and no grade will report to D2L/Brightspace Grades
- Products that are ungradable will be sent over as links without a grade item
- Click the Review button at the bottom of the screen
- You’ll see a summary of the links you selected. Confirm, and click the Send To desire2learn button
- Click the Close window button
- You will see the content in your D2L/Brightspace course module. You can reorganize or regroup your content in D2L/Brightspace so that your course is laid out the way you want.
Step 3: Relaunching deep linking tool
You don’t have to select all your links at once. You can launch this tool from your D2L/Brightspace course to add additional links throughout the semester.
- From a D2L/Brightspace course Module, locate or create a module where you would like to add links.
- Click on Add Existing Activities from the module and select “Follett-Willo Digital Delivery 1.3” from the drop down menu. (note that the name may vary slightly at your campus)
- Click Continue in a new window button
- In Course Management, click Add Publisher Links, and then Continue to W. W. Norton
- Follow the steps listed here: Adding deep links to course material
- Note that the tool will indicate which links you have already added to your course
