Cengage

Cengage integrates with Canvas to provide seamless access to educational products, such as WebAssign and MindTap. Cengage's integration with Canvas simplifies the process of incorporating Cengage materials into your Canvas courses, streamlining content delivery, assignments, and assessments.

Cengage WebAssign

Cengage WebAssign is publisher content in specific disciplines such as pre-calculus, calculus, chemistry, physics, and decision sciences. This published content can be integrated into your Canvas course to enable student engagement, while also passing grades back to your Canvas gradebook.
