Engage - Getting Started [UW-Madison]

This document is intended to help instructors and students get started with Engage for eTexts and DLTs.

The Engage program is a way for instructors to use digital textbooks and publisher tools in their Canvas courses. These digital materials integrate fully into Canvas and are a fraction of the print cost. In switching to Engage, student savings are typically between 40%-80% per textbook and 25%-35% for publisher Digital Learning Tools (DLTs). Various features and functionality in eTexts and DLTs help to increase participation, better subject comprehension, and promote involvement in the course.

Engage began as a pilot in spring 2018 as part of the Educational Innovation (EI) Initiative. It was led, in partnership, by the Associated Students of Madison (ASM), the Office of the Provost, the Office of the Registrar, and DoIT Academic Technology (AT). It primarily utilizes the Engage platform via integration with Canvas and aims to reduce the costs of course materials for students while advancing the student learning experience.

For more information on the Engage platform, please see the DoIT's Engage page.
