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!

I am working on utilizing the new Portfolio feature for our review of evidence in the practicum experience. Limitations we have come across are that multiple instructors within a course are not able to see the portfolio, only the instructor who created it. Is this something that will be available in the future? Or is there…
It is possible to import tags or other metadata when importing in a QTI file? I've tried everything I can think of, but it seems to get stripped out every time. Are any metadata types allowed? I can bring in a batch of tags questions or manually tag each one. Tagging each one is not an option. I'm using New Quizzes, so I…
Is there a setting where I can hide my students grade summaries on the dashboard but keep the individual category grades visible for them on their main grade page? I'll describe a little below. I want the overall course grade to be hidden from my course image on the students' dashboard with all their other courses, but I…
Hi everyone We recently deployed the new Microsoft LTI in Canvas and have started using the option to create Microsoft Education assignments directly from Canvas. So far, the setup has been very easy and user-friendly. Unfortunately, we've run into a problem: when we try to change the due date of an assignment after it has…
I'm testing whether Mastery Paths can be used to give students early access to an item based on their score, while making the same item available to everyone else on a later date. Here is my setup: A 4-point assignment is the source for the Mastery Path. Students scoring 75–100% are assigned a Solutions item. The Solutions…
