Your organization might be connected to Möbius through a Learning Management System (LMS).
Some examples of LMS's are:
- Blackboard®
- Brightspace®
- CanvasTM
Clicking on a Möbius link within your LMS will automatically log you in to the Möbius platform where you can proceed with your class activities.
IMPORTANT: If your organization is connected to Möbius through a Learning Management System and you want to access Möbius, be sure to always log in through your Learning Management System; don't log in to Möbius directly.
If you click on a Möbius link from your LMS and third-party cookies aren't enabled, you may encounter one of the following issues:
- You may be taken to the Möbius login page (that you won't be able to log in from) instead of directly to your activity.
- You may see the third-party cookies error message (It looks like your browser is blocking third-party cookies...).
- You may see a HTTP 403 - Forbidden error message.
IMPORTANT: Third-party cookies must be enabled for you to log in to Möbius from your LMS, if the Möbius activity doesn't launch from your LMS in a new tab or window.
NOTE: You can only have one Möbius tab open at a time (Example — you can't have two assignments open at the same time).
