Hi! I am using an aXcelerate and wanted to integrate Canvas. Upon integrating, I see this field called "Canvas Integration Type" and the choices are Assignment Group, Course Moudle, and Course. May I know what are these? Thank you!
Hi @louie360,
I don't have knowledge of aXcelerate, but I believe I can tell you what they're referring to. There are many different ways external tools can be integrated into Canvas, and they're giving you a choice of which way you'd prefer.
"Course" likely means you'd get an "aXcelerate" item added to your course menu. Users would click that and be transferred to aXcelerate. This option is usually used for tools where content is being delivered, but things like grade sync back to Canvas aren't needed.
"Assignment Group" likely means you'll get a bunch of assignments added to a group in your course and students would access aXcelerate from these assignments. This would most likely have grade syncing from aXcelerate to Canvas built in.
"Course Module" means you'll get a med module item added to the modules page with a bunch of links to different areas of aXcelerate. As with the course option, my guess is that this would not include grade sync, unless the module contains assignments (it's almost impossible to know this without just trying it).
You can see these three options all integrate aXcelerate with Canvas, but offer different experiences for you and your students. You can pick the one that best fits your course style and needs.
Hope this helps!

Hi everyone, It looks like the multiple rubric idea has bounced around a bit with the different feature request methodologies over the years, including a mention in New & Next 2024 according to this post, interviews in the enhanced rubrics features group, being listed as "under consideration" on the new roadmap, and this…
I recently had an exam provided as a Canvas Quiz in my class, and used some questions copied from question banks from other sections and prior years of the course. Some of those questions had "General Answer Comment" text already saved in them. I changed that text in several questions as I updated/changed the questions.…
I would like to suggest improvements to how collaborations function within Canvas LMS. Currently, collaborations are somewhat limited in how they can be accessed and integrated into course content. One potential improvement would be allowing collaborations to be directly linkable within Pages and Modules. This would make…
We are using the Learning Mastery Gradebook with an rubric on account-level. When we enter the gradebook, the sorting does not make any sense. How can we make the sorting so it makes sense to us. It feels like a randam sorting.
Can Canvas please create the option to use a "total points" system such that both the gradebook and the student grades page can show accumulated total points, not as a fraction of total points earned/total points possible? This would be SO helpful for progress tracking in a self-paced course where I do not want 0s entered…
