We are pleased to announce important updates to your iCollege experience–aimed at elevating privacy, enhancing security, and improving functionality. Beginning Spring 2024, the following external learning tools will be upgraded to LTI 1.3:

Cengage
McGraw-Hill
Packback
Pearson
Perusall
TopHat
Vista Higher Learning
ZyBooks

This transition ensures not only heightened security but also a more streamlined grade transfer process to the iCollege gradebook. It is essential to note that your current textbook publisher content links will no longer be functional after Fall 2023. To assist you in preparing for Spring Semester 2024, we have provided a list of the upgraded integrations below including instructor guides and support channels.

Please note that if you’ve already begun using the LTI 1.3 version of an integration, no additional changes are necessary!

Start the Process

To begin the process of upgrading to LTI 1.3 and ensuring a seamless transition:

1. Request a new building section.
2. Submit a request to have your preferred publisher integration enabled in your building section.

   Using the same form, you may also pre-request that we enable the integrations for your Spring Semester 2024 courses.

3. It will be necessary to request the enabling of these tools for your courses each semester BEFORE you copy content into your new course(s). If your department needs any of these tools enabled for all courses in a single department or course code (ex. all MATH 1101 courses), please have a department chair contact us at help@gsu.edu.
