Overview

Access Pearson is Pearson's Learning Tools Interoperability (LTI) integration for D2L Brightspace. It allows instructors to connect supported Pearson course materials and activities to their D2L courses, create links to Pearson content, and synchronize grades between Pearson and D2L. Access Pearson is available as an approved integration within Michigan State University's D2L environment.

For Instructors

Add Access Pearson to Your Course

To begin using Pearson content in D2L:

  1. Open your D2L course.
  2. Navigate to the module where you would like Pearson content to appear.
  3. Select Existing Activities.
  4. Select External Learning Tools.
  5. Choose Access Pearson from the list of available tools.
  6. Follow the on-screen prompts to connect your Pearson account and configure your course.

Deep Linking and Assignment Creation

Access Pearson supports deep linking, which allows instructors to place specific Pearson assignments, activities, and resources directly within D2L course modules. Deep linking is enabled in MSU's Access Pearson integration.

Student Experience

Students access Pearson content directly through links created by their instructor in D2L. Depending on the Pearson product being used, students may be asked to:

  • Sign in to an existing Pearson account
  • Create a Pearson account
  • Redeem an access code
  • Purchase or access course materials through Pearson

Questions regarding Pearson account access, licensing, or product-specific functionality should be directed to Pearson Support.
