Using My Materials / Launch Courseware  
 

The VitalSource launch page is an easy and consistent way for students to access course content. Students launching from the VitalSource landing page will be taken directly to their course resources from day one, with no set up required by you. 


1. From your Learning Management System course, your student navigates to the VitalSource course materials landing page. It might be called Inclusive Access, My Materials, My Courses, or something specific to your program.
