Note: If you are retaking a course, that uses the same MyEducator digital textbook as you purchased before, you do not need to purchase the digital textbook again. Go through the steps listed in this article, and the MyEducator system should recognize your prior purchase. If not, please reach out to the MyEducator support team at support@myeducator.com.
Steps to access and purchase the MyEducator digital textbook from your Moodle course:
1. Log in to your Moodle account.
Depending on your institution/organization, this may be done through the university/college website.
2. Navigate to your Moodle course.
3. Locate and click on any MyEducator link found in your Moodle course.
Below are some examples of what MyEducator links might look like and where they might be found (your professor/instructor can help you if you cannot find them).

- Use the internet browsers Chrome or Firefox.
- Clear your browser's cache, and then try again.

"Student IDs" screen
Contrary to what this page says, entering your student ID is not necessary. But if the page doesn't let you proceed without entering an ID, either enter your student ID or an arbitrary number.
