What is "Basic" integration?

The key feature of a Basic-integrated Davis 360 class is a direct class link within your LMS course, streamlining student navigation to your integrated Davis 360 class and its assignments.
By launching one of your integrated Davis 360 class links, students are automatically enrolled in your integrated Davis 360 class and will not be required to make their FADavis.com logins independently.
With a Basic Integration setup, the grades for your integrated Davis 360 assignments will not automatically write-back to your LMS gradebook, so you'll need to manually enter Davis 360 assignment scores if you want to make them part of your class' final grades. For more information on Davis 360 grading and how to enter grades into your LMS gradebook, please consult the "Grading" section of our Instructor "Grading and Metrics" article.

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 class links into your LMS course, whether your admin (or otherwise) will insert Davis 360 class links for you, or whether you'll be able to copy a Davis 360 class that's already been set up.
If your integrated Davis 360 class links will be inserted into your LMS course for you, please consult our Instructor "Quick-start Guide" article for information on launching your integrated class links and finalizing your Davis 360 Class Setup.
If you're directed to copy an integrated Davis 360 class that's already been set up, please consult our "Copying Classes" article.
If you're directed to insert Davis 360 class links into your own LMS course, please consult our "Create a Class" article.

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 and integrated Davis 360 class have 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.
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.
Once your integrated Davis 360 class links have been configured and inserted into your LMS course, you won't need to edit your Davis 360 class links further, unless advised to do so by an Integration team member.

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

You will need to set due dates within your Davis 360 Class Setup for each respective assignment module. 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.
If you create custom Davis 360 Quizzing Assignments, you'll set the due dates for those custom Quizzing Assignments while completing their creation.
In the event your student doesn't complete an integrated Davis 360 Quizzing Assignment or assignment module exercise by the due date set within your Davis 360 class, including if your student completes an assignment module exercise after its due date, Davis 360 will mark that Quizzing Assignment or entire assignment module with a red zero in your Davis 360 Gradebook.
If you would like, you'll be able to appeal late-work zeroes 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.

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 class, 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?

To access student 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.
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, using Davis 360 Gradebook features, and/or how to export a spreadsheet to make manually entering Davis grades easier, please consult our Instructor "Grading and Metrics" article.

Why aren't my student's grades recording?

When a student reports their score for an exercise isn't being recorded by your Davis 360 platform, please confirm whether the student has completed the exercise they've claimed to have completed. To confirm their exercise completion, navigate to your Davis 360 platform's Gradebook to check if there's a score for the exercise in-question.
If you find the student has a red zero for the entire assignment module which contains an exercise in-question, that means the student completed that exercise or another exercise within its assignment module 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.
If a student claims their grades aren't recording, and you check your Davis 360 platform's 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.

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 are available within your integrated MLL class, you can launch an integrated MLL class link as if you were a student. After launching a Davis 360 class link, you'll land on your Davis 360 My Products page, with listings for each of the Davis 360 platforms you've got access to. Choose the appropriate platform, to navigate to the Classes page of your Davis 360 platform or further to your Davis 360 class' Dashboard.
On your Davis 360 Classes page and within your Davis 360 class' Dashboard, you will see separate links to launch a "Preview Student View" for your class. When launching a "Preview Student View" from these two locations, the preview offered will reflect the settings choice you made for your integrated Davis 360 class. Within a "Preview Student View," you'll be able to work through Davis 360 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 classes from one LMS course to another?

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 Classes page.
Full instructions for copying your integrated Davis 360 classes can be found in our "Copying Classes" article.
To copy the setup of one Davis 360 class to make another within its same platform, perhaps for an upcoming semester or for an additional concurrent section, you'll first need to clone your Davis 360 class via your Classes page. After cloning your class within Davis 360, contact [email protected] for instructions on inserting a class link into your new LMS course.
The majority of settings from your source integrated Davis 360 class will carry over into its clone, but you will need to go into the cloned Davis 360 class' Class Setup to set due dates and confirm assignment Grading Options.

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.
