Faculty Digital Access FAQ

How to do I set up VitalSource in my Canvas course?

You need to make sure the "VitalSource Course Materials" link is available for students. If this link is not on visible on your Canvas course menu, students will not be able to access the materials. E-books and courseware delivered via VitalSource will automatically be connected to your class.

Do I need to set-up courseware before I use it? How do I do that?

Yes, if you are using courseware delivered by a publisher (not delivered via VitalSource), you will need to set-up your class site through the publisher. If you need assistance with this, please contact your publisher rep directly.

I have questions about VitalSource delivered courseware or an e-book. 

If you have questions, please visit VitalSource's support page. This page answers several popular questions, including how to utilize bookshelf and partner integration access.

One of my students is having trouble access the materials. Who should they contact?

If one of your students is having trouble, please refer them to the help links located here. If multiple students in your class are having trouble, please reach out to the bookstore and/or Andy Olson.
