Using grade passback with multiple Canvas assignments

nnyby

Hi,

I've developed a tool that can be used as an external tool in Canvas. The way it works is, instructors create a quiz in my tool, embed this quiz in Canvas using the External Tool feature, then students can make a submission on this quiz.

I'm running to a problem here. If a student makes a submission on assignment A, then assignment B, their score for assignment B overwrites their assignment A score. And in the Assignments list, Canvas still has a null score for assignment B.

Is there something I need to pass in to Canvas that I'm missing? By the way, I'm using this django library for the LTI connection: GitHub - ccnmtl/django-lti-provider: django-lti-provider adds LTI functionality for the Django web framework. This work …

Hi  @nnyby  and Welcome to the Canvas Community,

One thing that comes to mind would be to possibly change where and how the quizzes are created.

Canvas offers the option under assignments to use an external LTI tool as an assignment. While you are unable to embed these inline with content, it does provide the benefit that each quiz/assignment you create, would have its own gradebook column to store the grade passback.

Would that possibly be something that might work? It may require a little re-architecting of the LTI (possibly).

Hope that helps!
