If you copied a course but not activated it yet, the instruction : Transition a Copied of a Previous Course from MyLab & Mastering LTI 1.1 to Access Pearson LTI 1.3 will guide you to transfer from MyLab and Mastering LTI 1.1 to Access Pearson LTI 1.3.

Preserve student work


Important

For active Canvas courses, students may be already enrolled and have completed work in your MyLab or Mastering course, you need to use the Pearson gradebook to export their grades. The data you export goes into a .csv (comma separated values) file, which can be opened in a spreadsheet application or imported into a different gradebook, such as Canvas gradebook. For instructions, select your platform:

Export MyLab scores (7 steps for a quick export)

Disable grade sync for the old integration

If grade sync has already been set up, you need to turn automatic grade sync off. This prevents new or duplicate grade items from being created in your Canvas by grade sync from the original MyLab or Mastering course. 

How to turn automatic grade sync off

  • Navigate to your Canvas course.
  • Click MyLab and Mastering tool from the course navigation bar.

  • Select Grade Sync.
  • Select off for Automatic Grade Sync.

From your Canvas course, do the following. (You don't need to change your MyLab or Mastering course.)

  • Assignment links: Assignment links are automatically migrated to the new course when you transition to Access Pearson and don’t need to be deleted from your course.

  • Course tool links: Delete any course tool links, including MyLab and Mastering Course Home, MyLab Skills, and Study Area, before you add the Access Pearson integration to your course.

Delete the old course association

Create a copied course in MyLab & Mastering

  • Create an unpaired course copy of the MyLab or Mastering course at mlm.pearson.com by selecting "Yes, copy this course" option.

  • Note the course ID of the copied course to use when pairing the course with the Access Pearson LTI 1.3 integration.
  • After you receive the confirmation email saying the copy of the original course has been successfully created, delete the course pairing for MyLab and Mastering from diagnostics.

How to delete the course pairing

  • Click Mylab and Mastering link from Canvas course navigation bar.
  • Select the Help & Support tab.

  • Select Get Diagnostics.

  • Under Course Information, select Delete MyLab & Mastering course and association with course.
  • You cannot undo this action, so read the details carefully.

  • Enter DELETE in the box and then select Yes, delete course association.

  • Refresh the page.

Remove the old integration tool and enable Access Pearson LTI 1.3 in Canvas
