Pearson Revel and eText is an interactive reading and learning environment that enables students to read, practice, and study in one continuous experience. At St. John’s, Pearson Revel and eText is connected to Canvas using the “Access Pearson” LTI.

 

(blue star) Important Note! If you were previously using Pearson’s “Pearson MyLab & Mastering” LTI in your Canvas course, you will need to transition your course over to Access Pearson. For instructions on how to do this, please see the following linked Pearson Support article: Transition existing courses to Access Pearson.


How do I add this LTI to my course?
