As an instructor for a First Day/Inclusive Access course, you will need to add the First Day Course Materials tool link in Blackboard so that students can opt-out of the program if they wish, during the designated period of time.

Cengage-specific First Day course materials such as the eBook and associated courseware, including assignments, quizzes, and other assessments will be accessed by the student through a content area link that you will add separately.

Watch the tutorial video below and follow the steps demonstrated to create your First Day Course Materials tool link and Cengage content area for courseware.

Instructor support for linking your designated Cengage platform (MindTap, WebAssign, Infuse) to your Blackboard course can be found here.

Student support for accessing First Day Cengage materials can be found at this resource page.
