Hello all,
I am looking for schools that are using Workday as their SIS system, and if so are you using the grade pass back plugin option? If not, are there any particular reasons why you are not using grade pass back plug in option?
Sorry for resurrecting a nearly year-old post, but I’m with The University of Tampa and we were the fifth school to implement Workday Student. We recently switched to Canvas in Fall 2023 and currently use Workday as our SIS.
While I am not a Workday expert by any means, we do have a dedicated Workday Solutions team and an integrations architect who designed our current SIS integration based on our previous one with Blackboard.
To your question, @sfrankli1, we do not currently use grade passback. I can’t speak to any technical reasons why, but I think it’s more because we only just switched to Canvas so recently and haven’t had a chance to look into that. Our faculty are used to entering final grades into Workday manually at the end of each semester, so we’re looking at it as a future state “nice-to-have” feature.
If you (or anyone else reading this who is also a Workday Student user) are planning to attend InstructureCon 2024, I’d be happy to meet up and discuss our experiences!

We are using Workday student as our SIS. We also have a process to push grades from the gradebook to Workday. However, it is not an integration provided by Workday, the files push to an internal server and then a process pushes them up to Workday. I don't have knowledge of how our developers make this work, so I'm not sure of the specifics. I am looking for Workday-provided integration solutions, which is how I came across this post, code to pull and push data between the two systems is what we use now with flat files. We create courses this way, enrollments, terms, sections, and people.
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…
I wonder if others have had this response, but I think it is troubling messaging for students that, no matter how well they may do on an assignment, they are given a signal that anything below a perfect score should be marked/denoted with a red color, as if those grades are poor, or even lesser. I think it is harmful for…
I have a student that was in a tag called "ac" and recently moved him to a different tag, "AC." I did ensure the old tag was removed; however on a canvas PAGE he sees both pages the "ac" and "AC" Canvas Pages. I removed the assigned tags to the page and the one tag to the student thinking maybe if I remove and reassign…
