We are noticing that in certain instances unscored assignments in Canvas are being passed back to PowerSchool as zeros. Has anyone noticed the same thing with grade passback and do you have a solutions for this?
@KevinStachowski -
I don't use power school, but just a thought about what may be causing this grade passback. Do you have the treat ungraded items as 0 selected for the gradebook? This only shows up in the Canvas grade book after the until date of the project (or possibly the due date) has passed. You did not mention what the Canvas grade book looked like as far as grades showing and you did not mention if the assignment was past the due/until date - so I just put this information out there as a possibility.
I also have seen this. It is very random. I have many students that are graded and some that have no score for an assignment. On passback, one showed a zero in PowerSchool, but was not graded in Canvas. The rest of the ungraded students were passed back correctly to PowerSchool as no grade. I don't know why one particular student is getting zeros. I try to re sync, but it continues to come over as a zero for her.
I found out what happened in once instance of this problem. The teacher had entered scores for the assignment in Canvas, realized she had entered them for the wrong grade column, and then removed them. This assignment where the grades had been removed came over to PowerSchool as zeros.
I have had a teacher report the same. She enters exempt for students and leaves the grade empty. In PS the grade shows as a zero.
I'm surprised this hasn't been resolved yet. This is a huge issue for people that only use zeros as a placeholder grade.
We are having this issue as well. When we go to finalize grades and run a remaster, PowerSchool pulls in zeros for random blanks and it's never consistent. It's frustrating that our teachers can't leave blanks in the Canvas gradebook just in case a zero is pulled randomly. It's an extra frustration at a time when our teachers are already frustrated. Can we please work on a fix that doesn't require extra work for teachers?
A colleague asked me how to reuse the questions from the 14 quizzes he has already created as a large question pool to draw questions from for a cumulative exam. Each of the 14 quizzes has multiple question groups, and none of them was linked to a question bank at the time of creation. The best thing I could find is the…
Hello, In the past, changing participation dates in the course settings effectively acted as an override on the term access settings. Unless I'm missing something, that no longer seems to be the case. Even if course participation is changed from term to course, it is the term access dates that dictate access within the…
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…
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…
We have recently encountered an issue where two students were unable to see the "Take the Quiz" button. These students were taking different exams for different courses within our Testing Center. Both exams required Respondus LockDown Browser and were restricted to specific IP addresses. In both cases, the students were…
