When a student interacts with an LTI link, the LMS will send us the student's,
- name
- email address
- LMS role
We will first look up the email address to determine if a zyBooks account exists for this user. If an account does not exist, we will use the additional info to create an account for that user with the provided role and name. Otherwise, if an account does exist, we will log the user into the account.
Once the user is logged in either of the following can occur:
- If the user is not yet subscribed, they will be taken to the "Subscribe" page of the zyBook.
-
Otherwise, if the student has a subscription they will be taken to the first section of the assignment (or the section if the link is not an assignment link).
The top of each assigned section contains a banner with some great info for students. It lets them know
- which assigment they are working on
- which activity type to complete
- the due date (if present)
If a section is part of multiple assignments, students can use the drop down menu at the top of the section to view all assignments. This will not change the view of the material, but it will update the banner to let the student know which activity types are needed and what the due date is for that assignment.
At the bottom of any assigned section, students can see an "Activity summary" that shows them how much they have completed so far and which sections they still need to complete.
