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.

Speedgrader chaning file name when being downloaded. Speedgrader: When downloading a submitted assignment, the file name is being changed to an unrecognizable name — (Student's actual name was part of the file name — changed for privacy.) Ideas???
We are all familiar with the standard Course Calendar, where assignment due dates are automatically added. However, at my institution, we structure our assignments as Challenges that develop over a period of time, rather than just a single deadline. Currently, the calendar only highlights the "end point." It would be a…
The current placement of the "Submit" button creates a "slip" in user behavior where habit-clicking "Next" leads to an accidental final submission. I think Canvas could easily fix this by: Moving the Submit button away from the navigation buttons (maybe above the question instead of below it) and/or Adding a "Confirm…
This is my first time using the new discussion "checkpoints". I'm hoping the multiple due dates are effective, but using the "checkpoints" does seem to create other problems: They only allow for ONE "reply to topic". The way I use discussions in some of my classes is to allow for students to ask MULTIPLE questions per…
