How to pair your Learn course with your Connect course

Before pairing your Learn course to Connect, build your course on the Connect site first.

warning-well-small-round.pngFor instructors who previously used Connect: 
  • IMPORTANT:  Review your Connect course and make changes to any assignment dates or permissions PRIOR to pairing.
  • If in the past you manually created columns in your Learn Grade Center to import Connect assignment grades into (old method), you will want to delete those columns. (Caution:  only do this prior to the class starting; you do not want to delete columns after the class is live as this is irreversible if you make a mistake). If you do not remove those old columns, then when you deploy your Connect assignments to Learn, the deployed assignment(s) will create a duplicate column(s) in your Grade Center. 

1.  Under "Course Tools," select "McGraw-Hill Higher Education".

From your Course Tools menu, select McGraw-Hill Higher Education
