Publisher-Delivered Courseware Term Readiness Report

Overview

This report assists publishers in confirming material readiness for courseware and bundles that are set up as publisher-delivered in Connect. It draws on adoption, section and course-linking data to help publishers catch incorrect adoption set-up before a term begins, so students receive the correct materials on time.

 

Key Questions This Report Answers

  • Which of my (publisher-delivered) courseware and bundle adoptions are correctly set up for the current or upcoming term?

  • Which sections have adoptions that may need correction because publisher-delivery was not intended?

  • Does the LMS Course ID stored in Connect match what's registered in Launch for a given section?


How to Use This Report

  1. Start with the filters – Select a Term to scope results to the term you want to review. You can further narrow by Institution, Parent Institution or Section Status.

  2. Interpret the results – Review each row's Section Status and compare Adopted Item, Matched Item, and Item Name to confirm the adoption reflects a title that should actually be publisher-delivered.

  3. Take action – For any adoption that appears incorrectly set up, work with your bookstore or teaching staff contact to review the adoption or contact the Publisher Enablement team for assistance.

💡 Tip: Results are limited to the previous 2 years through the next term – use the Term filter to focus only on the term(s) you're actively validating, rather than scrolling through historical data.
📝 If an item appears that is not meant to be publisher delivered, the item setup in the system may be incorrect. Work with your bookstore or faculty contact to review the adoption setup, or contact the Publisher Enablement team for assistance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Why does an item appear that isn't supposed to be publisher-delivered?
A: This usually indicates the adoption is incorrectly set up in Connect. Work with your bookstore or teaching staff contact to review the adoption set-up, or contact the Publisher Enablement team for assistance.

Q: Why don't I see sections outside the 2-year window?
A: The report is scoped to the previous 2 years through the next term to keep results focused on active readiness needs; data outside that window isn't included.

Q: Why might the LMS Course ID in Connect not match the LMS Course ID in Launch?
A: A mismatch usually indicates a setup discrepancy between Connect and Launch and should be corrected to ensure the course links correctly.
