How to Enroll Students in your Integrated Davis Advantage Class
Students will be automatically enrolled into your integrated Davis Advantage class when they first launch one of the Advantage assignments inserted into your LMS course.
To confirm which students are within your integrated Advantage class, click the "Roster" display within your Advantage Gradebook. Please confirm your Advantage class roster a few days after your class start date, to ensure all your students have enrolled correctly.
For further information on your Advantage Gradebook, please consult our instructor "Grading and Feedback" article.
Though the Summary step of your Advantage Class Setup directs you to do so, you will not have to provide students with a Class ID to enroll them in your integrated Advantage class. Furthermore, if a student asks you for a Class ID, that's an indicator they are trying to access your Advantage class incorrectly.
Their first launch and beyond, students should always access your Advantage assignments by launching the Advantage assignments links inserted into your LMS course. To model correct access and usage of your Davis Advantage assignments, please link our student "Quick-start Guide" article within your LMS course.
The student Quick-start Guide is designed to be an asynchronous orientation of all students need to know to launch and complete assignments within Advantage, as well as how to utilize additional resources offered by Advantage.
Student Access Error
If a student claims to have access to their required textbook via FADavis.com, yet is asked to redeem an Access Code upon their initial launch of your inserted Advantage assignments, it's likely the student purchased their textbook resources using a personal email address rather than their institutional email.
Students need to redeem access to their FAD resources with the same email address they use to log into your LMS course.
Using the correct institutional account, students should email [email protected] with a personalized fill-in of the template statement below.
My name is ___, I redeemed access for my textbook under a personal email, and need that access merged with my school email.
Personal email: ___
School email: ___
After their account access has been merged, they'll need to launch one of your inserted Advantage assignments to enroll in your integrated Advantage class.
Independent Study Mode
If a student reports they've completed Advantage assignments, but the student in-question isn't listed on your Advantage class' roster, it's possible the student has completed Advantage assignments using "Independent Study mode."
Assignments completed within Independent Study mode will not report back to your LMS gradebook and/or any Advantage Gradebook
Instead of launching your inserted Advantage assignment links, students completing work via Independent Study mode log into FADavis.com or the Davis Advantage website directly. After doing so, they click the "View Content" button of a textbook for which they've never enrolled in an Advantage class.
Work completed via Independent Study mode cannot be transferred to your integrated Advantage class. Please direct the student in-question to take a screenshot of their Independent Study mode Advantage Gradebook, before they then click your inserted Advantage assignment links to enroll in your class.
Once the student has properly enrolled in your integrated Advantage class, you'll need to manually enter grades for the student in your LMS gradebook. Please do so by referring to the screenshot you directed your student to take.
Students who have completed work via Independent Study mode often purchased their resources using a personal email address, and will need to merge their account access (as directed in the section above) before enrolling in your integrated Advantage class.
