Adopter Quick Guide: Cognella Active Learning – Page 2

Student Access Point 

For instructor-led courses, Cognella Active Learning activities can either by hosted by Cognella or integrated into an institution’s learning management system.

Hosted

The hosted environment provides a complete learning management system (LMS) that instructors can use to manage a course. Students will log in to https://active.cognella.com/ to access available content for their course. Cognella’s user-friendly platform provides all of the tools instructors need to run a course, including support for quizzes, assignments, discussion forums, course announcements, a built-in syllabus, and class calendar, as well as a robust gradebook with SpeedGrader. At the end of the term, instructors can export the grades from the Cognella system and import them into their school’s gradebook.

Integrated

Integration allows students to access Cognella Active Learning activities directly within their institution’s LMS. Students will access the activities, assignments, and quizzes via their home system, and grades automatically flow into the LMS gradebook. This option requires LMS compatibility and collaboration with the institution’s LMS team. Please let your Cognella rep know as soon as possible if you’re interested in an integrated solution.
