Is there a way to get a course for a specific sis_course_id? If not is there a way to get all the courses for a specific sis_term_id? Will this API endpoint work? GET /api/v1/search/all_courses query parameter: search sis_term_id=xx123 or search sis_course_id = xxxx-1234-xxxx
My school uses that for official grades, and I know that Canvas can send assignments to Skyward, is it possible for Skyward to send back grades? I love Canvas' grade calculator but unfortunately because Skyward is "the most accurate reflection of a student's grade" according to my school, how can Skyward be better used…
Long story, but I promise the context is necessary- saves time asking questions and repeated suggestions. We use Ellucian Colleague as our SIS, and we import data into Canvas using the SIS integration (we have SQL-generated CSV's that send data periodically throughout the day via SFTP). With this current method, we're…
Is there a way to get a Grade Export report for a subset of students, rather than the entire account?
We recently noticed that when an assignment is worth 17.5 points, it isn't transferring from Canvas into Infinite Campus that way. The assignment comes through as worth 17 points; therefore, it inflates students' scores when a 17.5 score is awarded. I have attached a screenshot of what it looks like coming into Infinite…
When certain properties of a class change in our SIS/Clever, the class is removed in Canvas by our sync and unpublished empty classes are put in their place. When this happens we lose all grade/assignment info for the class. Is there any documentation on how to recover classes in this situation and ways to prevent it from…
Dear PS Support, Could I ask if we can adjust the way that Day shows in Canvas? The Day information is syncing from PowerSchool. But if Canvas show the name of Day Information instead of ID of Day Information. Is it possible?
Is it possible to set up an SIS passback (PowerSchool specifically) for the "Total" column in the gradebook, the grade for the whole course? Or is it only possible to passback graded events (assignments, quizzes, discussions)? If it is possible, does using override grades make a difference?
Hi Everyone, What are the benefits of using SIS imports to create courses and do enrollment versus a SIS integration? We are in the beginning stages of merging two instances of Canvas. At one location, they use SONIS as this SIS and have it integrated with Canvas. At the other location, we use SONIS as well, but we have…
I am trying to sync an assignment from Canvas to PowerSchool. However, the assignment will not sync, and I am receiving an error message stating that the assignment was not found. Does anyone know how to resolve this other than manually entering the grades?
