What is Sage Campus?

The Sage Campus platform provides structured online learning for skills and research methods. The courses are self-paced, and instructor-led, packed with an engaging mix of video, interactives, formative assessments and more. Our user-friendly platform makes it simple for faculty to assign courses, or for students and researchers to learn autonomously - building practical skills for study, research and the workplace.

What are the online learning topics?

The courses cover critical skills and research methods across all stages of academic study, including the below course areas:

  • Information literacy

  • Getting started with data

  • Research planning

  • Collecting and managing data

  • Analyzing data

  • Reporting findings

  • Getting published

You can browse all courses on the Sage Campus platform.

Who is this librarian guide for?

Promoting Sage Campus to your institution to drive usage

Registering


Registering


Registering

The key librarian or administrator at the institution will be set up with an Institution Administrator account to Sage Campus. Sage will send secondary Sage Secure Center login details, that need to be used to get authenticated on the Campus platform. It will enable you to create your account with Institutional Administrator role privileges on the platform. If you try to register on the platform without those Secure Center credentials you’ll have only Learner role privileges on the platform, which will prevent your institution from taking a full advantage of the platform.

To register as the Institutional Administrator, follow these 3 one-time steps:

  1. Go to the Sage Campus platform: https://classroom.sagepub.com/login

  2. Use your secondary Secure Center account username and password that you can find in your welcome letter to get recognized as a user from your university

  3. Fill in your details (email, first name, surname, password) in the registration form that will appear on the screen before clicking “Register” to create your Sage Campus account. Note: you’ll need the email and password to sign in in the future.

If you were not sent - or you cannot find - your username and password, contact: campus.info@sagepub.com.

Once you have completed the steps in the previous section you will be able to access the platform using the credentials you’ve created for yourself.

If you need any help, please contact: campus.info@sagepub.com

If you a learner or a faculty member, simply register for an account following the instructions in our learner user guide or faculty user guide. If you’re a faculty member you can then ask your Institutional Administrator (key librarian who set up access to Sage Campus) to change your role on the platform to give you extra permissions if needed.
