Are you using an LMS?

Blackboard, Canvas, D2L Brightspace, Moodle, Sakai or Schoology

Yes No – see below

If you’re not using an LMS, you'll need these 3 things to get started:

Course invite link

Your instructor will share this web address by email, on your syllabus, or through class set-up materials. Once you have this link, click it and follow the prompts to join the course. If you don't have the link, please contact your instructor.

Email address

If you need to create a Pearson account, you'll need an email address that you check regularly. This address will be used for communications about the course. Your instructor may also use this email address to communicate with you.

If you already have a Pearson account for another product or service, you can use your existing username and password to access your Pearson eTextbook.

Access code, credit card, or PayPal account

Your teacher may give you an access code for your Pearson eTextbook, or you can buy an access code where you buy your textbooks.
