Join a Course and Purchase Courseware (LMS integration)

This article is for students using Courseware integrated with a learning management system. It explains how to create a Courseware account, make a purchase if needed, and get into a course to see and start assignments. (If your school is not using an LMS see this article.)

Access your course

Follow these three steps to access your Courseware account through an LMS.

1. Login to your LMS account and navigate to your course.
2. In the menu on the left, select Visible Body Courseware. This will launch Courseware inside your LMS.
   Note: An error may occur if your instructor has:
   • • Not finished linking the Courseware to the LMS courses
     • Used an incorrect Secret or Key to set up the single sign-on. Please contact your instructor if you see an error message.
3. Logging into Courseware
   
   • • Select "Sign up!" and create an account. If your school currently has a group subscription, you will be brought right to your course and you will not be prompted to purchase or use a code. If you've been instructed to purchase a subscription, see this article to learn about purchase options.
     • Select "Sign in!" to log in with your existing account credentials, or sign in with Google by entering your Gmail account information. Once signed in, you will be enrolled in the correct Courseware course, and will not need to sign in again.

Here are some examples where you will find the link to VB Courseware in some commonly-used LMSes:

Canvas

Blackboard

D2L/Brightspace

Schoology

This video will walk you through the account access process for Canvas:

• After logging into Courseware, you won't be asked to do so again. Just log into your LMS and select the Courseware launcher on the left menu. This will bring you right to your course page.
• If you want to access Courseware outside of your LMS, you can use the Courseware credentials that you created and log in at https://courseware.visiblebody.com/.
