How to Integrate with Canvas

These steps assume that you have already created a Canvas course space. If you have not, create a course space first. 

For information on how to get started using W. W. Norton, please see the following Guide on Integrating W. W. Norton Assignments with Canvas.

Creating A Student Set

A Student Set is your class section. Student Sets allow you to view the results of the work completed by a particular group of students.

There are two ways for you to create a Student Set: from scratch or by copying an existing Student Set to create a new Student Set.

Basing your Student Set on an existing Student Set allows you to copy any assignments and settings that you’ve used in one Student Set into another Student Set. You may want to create a Student Set based on an existing Student Set if you are teaching multiple sections of the same course. Furthermore, if you and another instructor are both teaching different sections of the same course, you have the option to base your Student Set on the other instructor’s Student Set by using the copy function.

To Create a Student Set:

1. Click on the gear menu in the upper-right corner of the Digital Resources page.
2. Select Manage Student Sets from the menu.
   
   
3. Click the Create New Student Set button.
   
   
4. Select the type of Student Set you would like to create and click the Next button.
   
   
5. Enter a title for your Student Set; select your state, province, or country; start typing your school’s name into the field that appears and select your school from the list; set a start and end date for the Student Set; and finally, click the Create Student Set button. Make a note of the Student Set ID number and distribute it to your students.
   
   Note: If you forget your Student Set ID number, you can locate it by opening the Gear Menu and selecting Manage Student Sets. The Student Set ID will be listed in the left-hand column of the Manage Student Sets pop-up window.

 Adding a Co-Instructor or TA to Your Student Set

Note: Adding a TA or STA to your Student Set will not grant that account access to the associated product(s); the TA or STA will still need to register or purchase access to be able to use the Digital Resources for your textbook.

1. Click the gear menu at the upper-right of the page and select Manage Student Sets from the menu.
   
   
2. Click the Update button to the right of the Student Set to which you would like to add a co-instructor, Scoring TA, or TA.
   
   
3. In the Members section, click the Add Member button.
   
   
4. In the Role dropdown menu, select the permission level you would like to give the person you are adding to your Student Set. Type in the person’s email address and click the Lookup button.

• If you are adding a co-instructor, the person must have a Norton account with full instructor privileges. For help with this, please contact Norton Customer Support.
• If you are adding a Scoring TA or TA, the person does not need to have a pre-existing Norton account. In the case that they do not have a Norton account, we will send them an email with login instructions once you add them to your Student Set.
• Note: If you are adding a student as a Scoring TA or TA, you are changing their permissions in all Norton products. If they are enrolled as a student in another Student Set, please have them register with a separate email address when logging in as a TA or a Scoring TA.
• Once you give an account a specific level of permission in your Student Set, you cannot downgrade that account to a lower permission level. For example, if you give an account Scoring TA access, you cannot downgrade that account to TA access.  If you need assistance with downgrading a TA or STA in your Student Set, please contact Norton Customer Support.
  

6. Click on the Add button to add the co-instructor, Scoring TA, or TA to your Student Set.

7. When you are finished updating your Student Set, click the Save button in the lower-right corner to save your changes.
