Hi,

Here’s some information about resources to help you promote LearningExpress Library / PrepSTEP for High School. 

Flyers to Promote Specific Resources
Thanks to a request from Nancy Sullivan (PPS) and the availability of the State Library’s new communications analyst, we have flyers to promote these LearningExpress Library / PrepSTEP resources: preparation materials for AP, ACT, PSAT, and SAT tests plus College Finder and Scholarship Finder. The folder of flyers can be accessed from the bottom of the secondary educator Find Information page. You are welcome to share relevant flyers with students and staff.

CMS/LMS Integration Guides
Last week I sent an email with details about how to access AP exam preparation materials through LearningExpress Library/PrepSTEP for High School. One paragraph talks about the option to integrate PrepSTEP resources into any of the four supported learning (or classroom) management systems (CMS or LMS) – Blackboard, Brightspace, Canvas, or Schoology. Today I want to let you know that EBSCO, the parent company of LearningExpress, offers CMS/LMS integration guides that explain the process. Ignore what the web page says about contacting EBSCO support. Instead, ask me for a one-time code needed to set up a CMS/LMS integration, and I will connect you with our EBSCO contact. That code can be used by any staff in the same school. I added that information to the AP Test Prep Google document and to the bottom of the secondary educator Find Information page.

Thanks,
Jen
