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.
Summary:The Learning Mastery Gradebook allows drag-and-drop reordering of outcome columns, and this triggers a call to /api/v1/courses/:course_id/assign_outcome_order. The API returns 204 No Content (success), but the column order does not persist after page refresh. Steps to Reproduce: Open Learning Mastery Gradebook for…
We have enabled the automatic migration of Classic to New Quizzes. When we import QTI files, though, they always fail to load as New Quizzes. If we disabled New Quiz Migration, it works. Why does it only work for Classic Quizzes? Are there any guaranteed tools that will generate QTI files that will import correctly as New…
Is it possible to change the system-wide notification defaults for a hosted Canvas instance? Since I can't find a way to do it, nor any reference to doing it, I'm assuming not but wanted to make sure before I give that as an answer.
Hi everyone, I had a teacher reach out with an odd (and concerning) LockDown Browser issue and wanted to see if others have experienced something similar. A student was taking a quiz using Respondus LockDown Browser on a Chromebook 300e Yoga G4 (8GB), a 2‑in‑1 device that can flip into tablet mode. During the active quiz,…
Hi all, Quick question about the Gradebook color status for a 2-part checkpoint discussion. If a student completes the first due date (initial post) but does not complete the required replies by the second due date, is there any way for Canvas to automatically show a color (e.g., missing/late) instead of staying as…
