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 all, Quick question about the Gradebook color status for a 2-part checkpoint discussion. If a student completes the first due date (initial post) but does not complete the required replies by the second due date, is there any way for Canvas to automatically show a color (e.g., missing/late) instead of staying as…
Canvas Portfolios provide a powerful platform for students to document their learning journey, reflect on their progress, and showcase competencies. However, in programs where multiple educators are involved in assessment—such as team teaching, moderation, or competency-based evaluation—there are important questions about…
Hi There, We are in the process of transitioning to Canvas this year and were wanting to connect with any other MYP schools to see how you setup Assignment and grading under your modules. Or you could guide us to any resources you may have.
