Using Peerceptiv With Canvas

2. By default, Peerceptiv will be listed at the bottom of the navigation list as a disabled link. To enable it, drag the Peerceptiv navigation item into the list and click Save.
3. The first time you click this link from the navigation bar, you will be taken to the Course Overview page in Peerceptiv.
4. Click "New Course" to set up a new course that will link to a Canvas course.
| Note: DO NOT click New Assignment after launching from the navigation bar link. Any new assignment will not appear in your Canvas assignments list unless you create them in Canvas first and launch from the assignment level. |
