Instructors may configure Labster simulations through Sakai Assignments or Sakai Lessons. For seamless passing of grades from Labster to the Sakai Gradebook, adding Labster via Lessons is highly recommended. Follow these instructions to create a Labster simulation link through Lessons.
Warning: Labster simulation links, when copied from one course to another via Import from Site, will only be functional if you also add at least one additional simulation link to the destination course. Otherwise, simulation links should not be imported and should instead be added 'from scratch' to new courses.
Select Lessons.
In the target Sakai site, select a Lessons tool page.
Select Add Content.
Select Add Content from the Actions Menu.

Navigate the catalog and add to course.
Allow the tool a moment to load, then navigate through the Labster catalog by selecting a course or searching for keywords. Locate the desired simulation. Select Add.
In the above images, the top image features the homepage of the Labster catalog immediately upon loading. The bottom image shows the Add button for a specific simulation.
Tip: For more information about navigating through courses, units, and simulations in the Labster catalog, see The Educator's Guide to Labster.
Simulation link appears.
The simulation link appears on the Lessons page.
Note: If the Gradebook tool exists in the course, a Gradebook item worth 100 points is automatically created upon adding a Labster simulation link to Lessons. Students' best attempt scores for the simulation will automatically appear in that Gradebook item.
