MIght not be the best place for this, but hey got to ask....
I have been asked to look at integrating Canvas with our student management system, Selma. And I was wondering if any one has went throught the process?
Looking for some tips and advice.
I'd suggest to use a test environment, to make sure business rules process data correctly. The SMS provider should be able to support you in developing the rules and reports to get a successful live integration at the end.
It would be useful if you could share your experience with Selma and the result of this integration process.
Hi
Yeah was thinking about trying it out on the test environment first, but looking at the documentation I have it might be better to do it on a set of dummy students and ficticious courses in the live system, why? looks like a bit of configuration is need on the SMS side and would have to redo it all if I use the test site.
One thing I'm conceened about is the linking uses the students personal email address, entered into the SMS, to created the user in Canvas, where as when we create the students in our AAD, a script creates the account in Canvas, and we use the student ID we assign.
So looking to hear from any one who has went through the process to get an idea of any pit falls they encountered.
Once completed I do plan to write it up, you never know who might benefit from my ramblings.
Among all the things that I wish Canvas had is that one! Is it something that is been worked on? We had it in Blackboard (legacy) and I sorely miss and need in Canvas (we just transitioned to it from Bb). Please add this very needed feature!
I have Canvas set to drop the lowest quiz score, however, my students can only barely tell that the grade text is slightly grey when dropped. Can it have a tag like the "missing" and "exempt" ones in the student gradebook?
My Canvas shell has three different sections that all meet at different times throughout the week. I need to be able to batch edit assignment due dates by section, but right now Canvas can't filter by section for batch edit. My only option is now to manually (tediously) edit due dates for each assignment individually.
Morning! One of the more frustrating aspects of Canvas are groups and the issues that show up when copying courses that have them. But now we have yet another issue. Most recently we have had instances where people mark an assignment/discussion as a group assignment but then do not link the discussion or assignment to any…
So, we have encountered a few assignments where the Speedgrader presents the teacher with the "Empty Course" page, even though the course is not empty. I have discovered two New Quizzes in the same course where this has occurred, despite multiple students being assigned (at Module level, which passes the permission down to…
