What is "Deep Link" integration?

The key features of Deep Link-integrated Davis 360 assignments are direct assignment links within your LMS course and automatic LMS gradebook write-back when integrated Davis 360 assignments are completed.
Deep link integration inserts links to individual Davis 360 assignments within your LMS course, so those integrated Davis 360 assignments can be accessed via your LMS course like the rest of your LMS-located assignments.
Assuming students have launched them via your LMS course, your integrated Davis 360 assignments will automatically write-back their grades to your LMS gradebook as students complete those assignments, so you won't have to manually enter grades to make Davis 360 content part of your syllabus.

How do I integrate Davis 360 assignments into my LMS course?

Before you integrate Davis 360 assignments into your LMS course, you'll first need to confirm you've got an FADavis.com account with access to the necessary Davis 360 platform. Please contact your program's Educational Consultant (EC) or Business Development Manager (BDM) to set up your FADavis.com account. If you're unsure who your EC or BDM is, ask your program's admin or course coordinator to identify your EC or BDM.
In addition to confirming with your EC or BDM that you've got an FADavis.com with the necessary resources, please confirm with your program's admin whether you will need to personally insert Davis 360 assignments into your LMS course, whether your admin (or otherwise) will insert Davis 360 assignments for you, or whether you'd be able to copy content from an LMS course with Davis 360 assignments already inserted.
If your integrated Davis 360 assignment links will be inserted into your LMS course for you, please consult our Instructor "Quick-start Guide" article for information on launching your integrated links and finalizing your Davis 360 Class Setup.
If you're directed to copy integrated Davis 360 assignments from another LMS course, please consult our "Copying Courses" article.
If you're directed to insert Davis 360 assignments into your own LMS course, please contact [email protected] for further support.

How do I edit the settings for my integrated Davis 360 assignments?

Confirm with your admin whether you will need to edit the settings for your integrated Davis 360 assignments. In the event your LMS course has been prepared for you, for example, you will likely only need to edit the due dates for your integrated Davis 360 assignments and confirm the settings chosen in your Davis 360 Class Setup.
Your integrated Davis 360 assignments will have settings to edit within your LMS course and within your Davis 360 platform itself.
On your LMS course, each inserted Davis 360 assignment will have its own assignment post settings. You'll edit this assignment post as you would any other LMS assignment, making sure to preserve settings choices that will keep the links for your Davis 360 assignments functional.
Within your LMS course's settings for each of your integrated Davis 360 assignments, do not limit submission attempts for your Davis 360 assignments. Additionally, make sure your integrated Davis 360 assignments will open in a new tab when launched.
For more information on editing the settings for your integrated Davis 360 assignments within your Davis 360 Class Setup, please consult the "Finalize your Davis 360 Class Setup" section of our Instructor "Quick-start Guide" article.

How do I set due dates for my integrated Davis 360 assignments?

You will need to set due dates within the LMS settings for each of your integrated Davis 360 assignments, as well as within your Davis 360 Class Setup for each respective assignment.
Even if your course doesn't enact late-work penalties, it's essential to set due dates for your Davis 360 assignment posts within your LMS course, to model the time-frames students should complete those assignments to remain current with your class' content. Likewise, you'll need to set due dates within your Davis 360 Class Setup, so Davis 360 will know when to report to your LMS gradebook in the event a student doesn't complete an assignment by its due date and/or if a student completes an assignment after its due date.
For more information on setting due dates within your Davis 360 Class Setup, please consult the "Finalize your Davis 360 Class Setup" section of our Instructor "Quick-start Guide" article.
In the event your student doesn't complete an integrated Davis 360 assignment module exercise by the due date set within your Davis 360 Class Setup, including if your student completes an assignment module exercise after its due date, Davis 360 will write-back a zero for that entire assignment module to your LMS gradebook. If you would like, you'll be able to appeal this late-work zero using your Davis 360 Gradebook's "Accept Late Work" feature. For more information on accepting late work, please consult the "Davis 360 Gradebook Features" section of our Instructor "Grading and Metrics" article.
After appealing a zero in your Davis 360 Gradebook, wait overnight for the assignment module's total score to update in your LMS gradebook.

Why is my student unable to access my integrated Davis 360 assignments?

If your student is encountering access errors, direct that student to contact Customer Support via [email protected] for further assistance. Customer Support will diagnose then resolve student-reported access errors.
For more information on what could be causing student access issues, please consult our Instructor "Enrollment Issues" article.
To model the correct way to access your integrated Davis 360 assignments, please provide your students with our Student "Quick-start Guide" article, ideally at the beginning of your course.
Our Student "Quick-start Guide" functions as an asynchronous student orientation for your integrated Davis 360 assignments, and will provide them step-by-step instruction on joining your integrated Davis 360 class, completing its assignments, and accessing their eBook.

How do I check student performance on integrated Davis 360 assignments?

Since your integrated Davis 360 class will write-back students' scores to your LMS gradebook, you won't need to leave your LMS environment to get a sense of how well your students are performing on your integrated Davis 360 assignments. For further performance metrics, you'll need to enter your integrated Davis 360 class, using the launch instructions as shown by our Instructor "Quick-start Guide" article.
Once you've entered your integrated Davis 360 class, you've got two main hubs through which to view student performance information: your "Assignments" and "Gradebook" pages.
Your "Assignments" page will offer performance data like student competency, time spent, and completion rates for each of your integrated Davis 360 assignments. On your Assignments page, you'll even be able to view the exact answers a student gave for any completed Post Assessments and Quizzing Assignments, and how their answers might contrast with the assignment's correct answers.
Because your grades will write-back to your LMS gradebook, you will primarily visit your Davis 360 Gradebook page for only two reasons: to confirm student scores, or to enter grading exceptions via your Davis 360 Gradebook features.
In the case of grading exceptions, you'll be able to accept late work, extend due dates, and/or reset assignments via your Davis 360 Gradebook features.
For more information on viewing student performance and/or using Davis 360 Gradebook features, please consult our Instructor "Grading and Metrics" article.

Why aren't my student's grades writing back?

When a student reports their grade for an assignment isn't writing back, please confirm whether the student has completed the assignment they've claimed to have completed. To confirm their assignment completion, navigate to your Davis 360 Gradebook to check if there's a score for the assignment in-question.
If the student has a score for an integrated assignment in your Davis 360 Gradebook, but that score hasn't written back to your LMS gradebook, the most-likely cause is the student accessed the assignment incorrectly. As modeled by the Student "Quick-start Guide" article, your students should exclusively access your integrated Davis 360 assignments by launching them via your LMS course.
As a backup for maintaining gradebook validation, Davis 360 scans its Gradebook overnight and writes-back scores that weren't previously written back.
Reinforce the correct access pathway for your student, then wait overnight for Davis 360 to write-back scores for the assignments your student accessed incorrectly. If your LMS gradebook doesn't update overnight, please contact [email protected] for further assistance.
If you find the student has a red zero for the assignment in-question, that means the student completed that assignment after its due date. Please consult the "Davis 360 Gradebook Features" section of our Instructor "Grading and Metrics" article for more information on accepting late work.
Finally, if a student claims their grades aren't writing back, and you check your Davis 360 Gradebook to find no record of the student completing any work, it's possible they didn't enroll in your integrated Davis 360 class and have been completing assignments under "Independent Study Mode." Please consult the "Independent Study Mode" section of our "Enrollment Issues" article for information on how to proceed.

How do I ensure Davis 360 assignment grades automatically write-back to my LMS gradebook?

Please advise students they should exclusively access your integrated Davis 360 assignments by launching their respective links within your LMS course. If your students access and complete Davis 360 assignments otherwise (i.e. by logging into FADavis.com directly and navigating to your Davis 360 platform), their grades for completed Davis 360 assignments will not instantly write-back to your LMS gradebook.
To model the correct way to access your integrated Davis 360 assignments, please provide your students with our Student "Quick-start Guide" article, ideally at the beginning of your course.
Our Student "Quick-start Guide" functions as an asynchronous student orientation for your integrated Davis 360 assignments, and will provide them step-by-step instruction on joining your integrated Davis 360 class, completing its assignments, and accessing their eBook.
Though your Davis 360 platform scans its Gradebook overnight and writes-back scores that weren't previously written back, this overnight write-back is not as reliable (and instant) as the write-back provided by correct Davis 360 assignment access.
If you have further questions on grading within Davis 360, please consult our Instructor "Grading and Metrics" article. Likewise, if your students have questions about Davis 360 grading, you can direct them to our Student "Grading and Metrics" article.

Why did my student's grade change, when they went back to review a Davis 360 assignment?

If a student reports that their grade for an assignment module changed after they went back to review its contents, the most-likely reason their grade changed is that student went back and completed exercises they didn't complete before your assignment module's due date.
To confirm why a student's grade changed, please access your Davis 360 Gradebook, to check whether the assignment module in-question has a red zero as its total score. When a Davis 360 assignment module has a red zero as its grade in your Davis 360 Gradebook, that means at least one exercise within that assignment module was completed after the assignment's due date; that red zero functions as a late-work flag for you the instructor, indicating that you'll need to accept/reject late work to get rid of the late-work flag.
For more information on addressing a red zero, please consult the "Davis 360 Gradebook Features" section of our Instructor "Grading and Metrics" article.

How do I preview my integrated Davis 360 assignments, to get a closer look at what my students are working on?

For an overview of each Davis 360 exercise type, as well as implementation recommendations for each exercise type, please consult our Instructor "Assignment Types" article.
For a step-by-step of what students will need to do to complete each Davis 360 exercise type, alongside examples of the exercise types found within each Davis 360 platform, please consult our Student "Assignment Types" article.
To get a closer look at the Davis 360 assignments that have already been inserted into your LMS course, you can launch an integrated Davis 360 assignment as if you were a student. After launching an assignment, you'll be able to work through said assignment as if you were a student, to get the full preview experience.
Please note that the navigational elements that surround a Davis 360 assignment will be reduced for your students, to prevent your students from navigating outside of integrated content.
On your Davis 360 class' Dashboard and within your Davis 360 platform's Classes page, which only you should see as an instructor, you will see links to launch a "Preview Student View" for your class. Because of the streamlined access offered by Deep Link integration, the "Preview Student View" will not be entirely accurate to what your students will see when launching their integrated Davis 360 assignments, because "Preview Student View" functions as if your integrated Davis 360 class was non-integrated.
Though the "Preview Student View" for your class won't be entirely accurate, it'll still offer you a way to preview the assignments of your integrated Davis 360 class and work through said assignments as if you were a student.

Can multiple instructors manage a single integrated Davis 360 class?

Multiple co-instructors can manage a single integrated Davis 360 class, and different access privileges can be given to each respective co-instructor. For more information on adding co-instructors to your integrated Davis 360 class, please consult our "Adding Co-Instructors" article.

Can I copy integrated Davis 360 assignments from one LMS course to another?

Provided the integrated assignment links are associated with the same Davis 360 platform edition, and that you've got an FADavis.com account with access to the Davis 360 platform edition in-question, you'll be able to copy integrated Davis 360 assignment links from one LMS course to another.
After copying integrated Davis 360 assignment links into a new LMS course, you will need to launch one of those integrated Davis 360 assignments via your new LMS course to create a new integrated Davis 360 class.
The majority of settings from your source integrated Davis 360 class will carry over into its copy, but you will need to go into the new Davis 360 class' Class Setup to set due dates and confirm assignment Grading Options.
For the sake of being able to copy integrated Davis 360 content in the future, please never delete integrated Davis 360 classes from your Davis 360 platform's Classes page.
Full instructions for copying your integrated Davis 360 assignments can be found in our "Copying Courses" article.

Beyond integrated assignments, what resources are included with my Davis 360 platform?

For instructions on locating the pre-made PowerPoint presentations, test banks, and implementation guide provided alongside your Davis 360 platform, please consult our "Instructor Resources" article.
