IncludED Course Note

In order for students to access the Pearson content in an IncludED course, students must click on the link inside the Class Sessions. If students try to access the Pearson content through Communication and Tools they will be prompted to log in and asked for an access code. Students who call Pearson's tech support for assistance will be prompted to purchase a code, which is something they have already paid for in their course fees. Please remind your students to access IncludED content through Class Sessions and let them know that the purchase of any additional materials is unnecessary. You may hide the Pearson link on the Communication and Tools page in order to help avoid confusion.
