Auto Copy Pair (ACP)
Automatically copy, deploy, and pair your classes in a simple 1-step process.
Success: Canvas, D2L, and Blackboard Deep Integrations support auto, copy, and pair (ACP).
Auto, copy, and pair (ACP) is a learning management system (LMS) integration technology that supports the automatic provisioning and deployment of classes in SIMnet based on a pre-configured master class. ACP is available for all Canvas, Desire2Learn, and Blackboard assignment level integrations through McGraw Hill Campus.
Note: At this time, Blackboard integrations do not automatically deploy assignment links into Blackboard.
- 1.Ensure your LMS has the assignment level McGraw Hill Campus application installed and configured.
- 2.Create a parent class in your LMS.
- The parent LMS class should not contain any students.
- The parent LMS class may contain non-SIMnet assignments and content.
- The parent LMS class title will be used as the section title in the auto-created SIMnet class.
- 3.Create a parent class in SIMnet.
- The parent SIMnet class should be closed and not contain any students.
- The parent SIMnet class title will be shared with all child classes created through the ACP integration.
- Configure your class, assignments, and gradebook for the SIMnet class.
- 4.Pair the parent LMS class to the parent SIMnet class through the non-ACP pairing process. This needs to be done by the LMS admin.
- In the parent SIMnet class, deploy all SIMnet assignments to the LMS parent class through the Integrate area in the SIMnet Course Manager.
- Copy the “ACP Master Config” setting in the Edit/Assign or Snapshot area of the SIMnet parent class. Only copy the acp_master_section_id=xx.xxxxx portion.
- Paste the SIMnet ACP Master Config in the McGraw Hill Campus application configuration for parent LMS class.
- 5.In your LMS, copy the parent LMS class for each child section you will need in SIMnet.
- 6.On the first visit to SIMnet from each child LMS section, the ACP process will automatically create a copy of the SIMnet parent class, pair the child class, and deploy all assignments to the child LMS class.
To ensure the best results, create a new SIMnet parent class each term to modify any assignment or gradebook settings prior to the creation of child classes.
Tip: By default the ACP flow will perform a "Relink Push" to send the assignment details from SIMnet to the LMS upon auto-deployment.
Tip: You may override the default Relink Push behavior to Relink Pull by adding ",Pull" to the end of the ACP Master Config. For example acp_master_section_id=79,15432,Pull
Warning: Depending on your LMS and school permissions you may need an LMS Administrator to complete some steps.
The following logic is used when creating a SIMnet course with ACP:
- The SIMnet class title is set to match the source class title in SIMnet identified by the acp_master_section_id setting.
- The SIMnet section title is set based on the context_title from the LTI launch initiating the ACP flow.
- If the above class title + section title combination doesn’t result in a unique title, then the following alternative section title is used
- The SIMnet section title is set basedon the context_title + (context_label). We use context_label from the LTI launch initiating the paring flow
- If the alternate class + section title doesn’t result in a unique title, we cancel ACP and send the Instructor through the manual pairing flow.
