I'm contracting with a charter school and helping them through their SIS integration to Aspire. I know our CS person is trying, but the responses have been very slow and the director needs to plan PD, and to do that we need to know if they sync will be live. I know about the "sync to sis" button when a teacher sets it up,…
We're facing significant challenges with the Powerschool Canvas sync, specifically regarding course naming conventions and observer account syncing. Is there a way to concatenate section numbers from PowerSchool with course names during the sync process? For example, changing "English 6" to "English 6: Section 111" for…
I am a new admin and trying to troubleshoot an issue. We are a PowerCampus institution. I am getting an import error for several courses for a new program that says: "No short name given". I looked at Courses.csv and I see that they are missing. I went to the Registrar and asked her if they are missing on her end, in…
We use Sapphire for our SIS. This year we developed a Course Template and have it linked through the Admin account to populate for all new courses created. I would like to have the SIS Categories already synced in the template course when the new courses are created so that each individual teacher does not need to complete…
I am creating a new Canvas course for the new school year. In the past I have imported my students from Skyward but I cannot remember how I did it. I have searched the guides but cannot find a way to bulk import my class. Thanks for your help.
We are moving from Moodle to Canvas. We are a Ellucian Colleague school and we are using ILP5 to handle the course bulk push. what we need to know is Can I use ILP5 for Colleague to push courses into Canvas and pickup Blueprints for the correct courses? and How do we setup the subaccounts, so the courses are pushed in the…
We're setting up a new integration from our SIS (Skyward Qmlativ) to Canvas but we're only going to use Canvas in 2 of our schools. How do we limit the data sent from Q to Canvas to only include 2 schools? Canvas said we should be able to do it on the SIS side but we don't think there is anything we can use to filter.…
ILP overwrites the display name in Canvas. I see an option under the app settings to "provision preferred name." However, when setting the preferred name in Colleague it does not appear to be passing back to Canvas but rather still overwriting with legal name. Does anyone have a solution for this? TIA
I have a teacher that has used nightly sync all year long with success. Recently, she had her students take a Canvas quiz and has been since graded. Her nightly sync brought over the assignment, but the grades for the quiz will not pull over into Powerschool.
I am having trouble when running a sync from Canvas to Skyward. I keep getting this error message: "Assignment "Finished Backyard " (358884.9971332) in section "MATH 6-05" (284090.0.05A) is marked as deleted. The teacher may restore this assignment in his or her Skyward gradebook, provided that it is not in a locked…
