Is there any workaround to get an assignment to sync/post with an LMS, we use Infinite Campus specifically, without having a grade in?
@KRose13 Welcome!
There is unfortunately not a workaround -- Infinite Campus uses the OneRoster specification (which a lot of other SIS use) and you must have at least 1 grade in (with an actual student, not the Test Student) for the assignment to get synced and created in Infinite Campus.
That being said @JeffCampbell suggested a way to automate putting a grade in after the due date has passed that is a good idea although of course consult with your district on rules regarding grades. The system in Canvas is relatively flexible and you can also use the Late Submission policy if you have a policy that deducts points/percent per day late.
I have not used Infinite Campus, but looking at the guide for syncing to Infinite Campus, it does appear to require at least one grade is entered in order for the sync to work: https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Infinite-Campus-and-Canvas/How-do-I-sync-my-course-gradebook-from-Canvas-to-Infinite-Campus/ta-p/424522
In my searching, I have not found a workaround for this issue. However, I did find some suggestions, based on the idea that the Due Date has passed, but you have not entered grades yet. You can set up your course to automatically assign a grade for missing work (typically 0%) in the Gradebook Settings. If you have nightly sync turned on, the first time that sync occurs after the due date, anyone who has not turned it in will receive a 0%, which is sent to IC. I suspect (if like PowerSchool), then students who have turned it in will see a blank entry in IC. This forces a grades for missing work, which therefore forces the sync to occur.Maybe someone more familiar with IC might be aware of another option. This is what I can find.
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…
