D2L Brightspace: Set-up Follett ACCESS links in your course

Question

What is Follett ACCESS? How do I set-up links in my D2L Brightspace course to provide student access to eBooks and other materials/activities?

What is Follett ACCESS?

Follett ACCESS is digital textbook program through the official University bookstore.

• When faculty adopt the Follett ACCESS program for their courses, students pay a fee to the University as part of their course registration, rather than paying for textbooks and materials another way.
• Faculty then set-up links in their D2L Brightspace courses to provide access to the digital textbooks and other course materials/activities.

How do I set-up Follett ACCESS in D2L Brightspace?

To set-up links for Follett ACCESS, there are 3 possibilities. The option you will use depends on the textbook publisher and materials you have adopted:

1. Courseware: If you are using a digital textbook, as well as course materials, learning activities, quizzes, etc. from a publisher, you will use your publisher links to provide access for students. You will only set-up your relevant publisher links in your course. Some examples:
   • Cengage MindTap, WebAssign, CengageNowv2, Owlv

   • ...or other publisher links that may be available in D2L Brightspace! (Note: Pearson products are a special case, see below.)
2. eBook: If you are only using a digital textbook with the Follett ACCESS program, you will use the:
   • BryteWave: This is a link to Follett ACCESS BryteWave eReader which provides access to your students.

   • BryteWave: This link is needed for students to obtain their Pearson access code.
