To get started linking the webtext to your course in Brightspace, follow the steps below. If you have any questions along the way, please don’t hesitate to contact our LMS specialist at lms@soomolearning.com.

Connect the webtext to a copied course

If you copy or import course content that includes webtext chapter links, your new course will automatically be linked. Click any webtext link in your new course to see what’s new, add notes, or manage due dates.

Note: If you are not using the same webtext title this term, you will need to delete the webtext links that were copied and use the linking instructions below for a new course shell.

Connect the webtext to a new course

Log in to Brightspace and access your course, then create (or navigate to) a module within which you would like to link to the webtext.

Click the Add Existing Activities drop-down and select Soomo Webtext Quicklink.

If you don’t see the Soomo tool here, you can reach out to your LMS admin to have them install the integration with these instructions.

You’ll see a list of webtexts to choose from that Soomo has prepared for you. Select the webtext you’d like to link, then select to confirm this webtext for your course.

You will now see deep links to the webtext for each chapter within the module as well as the matching grade items. Both you and your students will be able to access the webtext via these deep links.
