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!

Hello, I'm writing to see if anyone else has noticed this change in Canvas and can explain when and why it happened. I can't find anything in the release notes about it, and Canvas support says it is "intended."

My school district has changed our required Learning Outcomes for all of our courses for this school year. How can I archive the 400+ Learning Outcomes we used last school year so they're still linked to our 25-26 courses but teachers can't use them in 26-27 courses going forward?
Hoping someone can explain for me. We're using pacing to avoid manually dating regular assignments each quarter, but the dates I see are based on when the course was instantiated, while students see dates based on when they were added to the course by [backend software I don't know anything about, presumably]. If I set…
Has anyone else had issues with an influx of duplicate users in Canvas? Ours is currently in the form of an email that already exists, becoming a new user - and not automatically merging with the user ID with the same email that also is linked to our SIS ID correctly as well. For example, user 1 is xyz@gmail.com without a…
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…
