Canvas External Tools - How do I use Cengage MindLinks Education Tools?

This article describes how students and instructors can obtain support for the Cengage MindLinks suite of tools.

 About Cengage MindLinks tools

Cengage MindLinks is a suite of learning tools used by some courses at UWM. An instructor might offer course materials, customized textbooks, self-paced or graded assignments, and student feedback through MindLinks. Typically, students pay for access to MindLinks courses by buying an access code through the UWM Virtual Bookstore. However, some courses may have special arrangements that do not require purchase. If in-doubt, refer to your courses syllabus and contact your instructor for additional information.
