To maintain the most secure learning environment for UI students, the connections between ICON and digital learning tools, courseware, and online homework platforms delivered through ICON Direct will be upgraded on Thursday, August 14. This date is after summer grades are submitted and before the fall 2025 semester begins.

For the publisher platforms listed below, please wait until after August 14 to link the content to your ICON course.

These platforms will be impacted:

  • Cengage: MindTap
  • Macmillan: Achieve
  • McGraw Hill: Connect, Go, Campus and SIMnet
  • Pearson: MyLab and Mastering
  • Wiley: WileyPlus
  • WW Norton: InQuizitive, Student Site, Smartwork

Stand-alone eTexts are not impacted by this upgrade and are still accessed through the ICON Direct eTexts link in your ICON course site.

Each publisher has a support team to assist with any questions during the set up process. Please be sure to partner with them for assistance. Feel free to reach out to us at icon-direct@uiowa.edu for publisher contact information if needed.

Please note that we are communicating with impacted instructors but also wanted to notify you of these changes.
