Moodle: Activities & Resources: External Tool: Sage Vantage

This article has not been updated recently and may contain dated material.
The Sage Vantage activity is a publisher tool that allows instructors to link Sage Publishing course content to Moodle courses. Using the Sage Vantage external tool allows for deep linking, which means that students can directly access activities and resources through the Moodle site. Deep linking also allows for gradebook synchronization, which can be manually triggered by the instructor in the Sage course or set to automatically sync at regular intervals.
 

 

A note about support: Because the external tool activity links your Moodle course to an external website, troubleshooting most issues encountered in this tool should be done through Sage Vantage customer support or the specific Sage customer representative who helped set up the course. The LSU Faculty Technology Center can assist with any Moodle issues and can work with the tool's support team on Moodle-related gradebook sync concerns.
