Getting started with OWLv2
What is OWLv2?
OWLv2 is an interactive eLearning resource designed to help you master chemistry by making concepts clear and accessible. You’ll be able to practise at your own pace until you understand each concept and skill.
Your OWLv2 has been customised by your instructor to guide you through your course and help you focus on what’s important.
It includes ready-made content aligned to your textbook, such as the eBook for your course and other helpful online study tools such as book-specific practice problems with instant feedback, videos, quizzes and much more.
OWLv2 can be accessed direct from your institution’s learning management system (Canvas, Blackboard, Moodle, etc) or as a standalone resource.

How to access OWLv2
You can access the OWLv2 for your course two ways – using a course key or using a course link.
COURSE KEY:
Sign in to your Cengage content dashboard and click on ‘Register another course or product’ at the top of the page, then enter the course key provided by your instructor. Don’t have a course key? Reach out to your instructor to request it.
