My grade sync is not working. How do I troubleshoot the problem?
Hi, @gwolgamott and welcome!
If Grade Sync is not working the best thing to do is to check the sync status from the grade sync page.
The status will have any errors, if present. While those instructions are for a particular SIS (PowerSchool) these will apply to any SIS that you are using.
For further support you should consult your institution's Canvas Admin. Hope this helps!
A couple of things to check in addition to what @melodyc_lam mentioned about checking the status for errors.
1. There should be an option in your left course menu for Grade Sync. There is a nightly sync option. I like to leave this on because it automatically syncs every day.
2. Assignment groups have to be synced. Check out this page and find the SIS you use. You should find guides to set up assignment groups specific to your SIS. I cannot speak for all, but with PowerSchool, assignment groups have to be synced first, then organize assignments in those groups. Each group is synced to specific categories in our SIS (Classwork, Quizzes, Tests, etc).
3. If your assignment groups are synced, make sure you have turned on the Sync option for the assignment itself. On the Assignments page, this will show a black X or a green checkmark on the right side of the line for each assignment for the current sync status. You can click on that or go to the assignment settings (Assignment, then Edit) to turn on syncing with your SIS.
4. If you do not do a Nightly Sync (#1 above), then the Grades page has an option to sync manually. I sometimes use this even with Nightly Sync if I have a batch of grades to send in the middle of the day that are time sensitive.
Check #'s 2 and 3 specifically, then let us know if you are still having issues.
With the new SpeedGrader UI, we are seeing student names appear in the page title even when the “Hide student names” setting is enabled. When using Classic Quizzes, there is no option within the quiz settings to enable anonymous grading, so we rely on instructors using the hide student names setting in SpeedGrader to…
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…
