I keep getting an error message about my header row being invalid when importing a CSV file. I tried changing it to the sample from this article and it's still not working. Any ideas?
@HeatherPrice I recommend that you make sure the file is getting saved as a csv with UTF-8 encoding before you attempt to import it into Canvas; many times Excel changes the encoding to something else. Then I second @Ron_Bowman's suggestion that you export the gradebook from the Canvas course, add the grades from Performance Matters to the gradebook export, and then import that edited csv to the course.
@HeatherPrice -
Is this a csv file that your completely created from scratch? Or did you modify a downloaded csv file from the course? If the file is from scratch, I suggest downloading the gradebook from canvas and then keeping all the columns at the beginning and then get rid of all the assignment score columns and extra columns except for what you are trying to upload and use that file.
One last thought ( I just recently did this, and it will be rare if it applies to you) - if you are using a script from UC-Boulder that has an import button for certain items to the gradebook(If you have no idea what I mentioned here, then it is not the problem), then don't use that import option - just make sure that you use the import option from the menu options in the gradebook.
More information on exactly what you are trying to import would help as well.
I am trying to import a CSV file from an application called Performance Matters. I exported the data from P.M. and then converted the file to CSV and edited the header row to match what Canvas shows in their example.
Yes we have Canvas synced to PS. The problem is Performance Matters, which is tied into PS only syncs to PS. So teachers at the moment are having to manually put in Canvas the grades form P.M, which we are trying o avoid. The information within the spreadsheet are grades and the information is pretty spot on so I am not sure how to make this work.
I am using excel
I have used Blackboard, Moodle, and now work at a Canvas university. When grading quiz items. I want the ability to view all of the students' responses to a single item at once. This could allow consistency in grading and speed up the grading process. This functionality has been available in Moodle for over 10 years.
Has anyone ever encountered this error in the Admin Analytics Student section?
My class policy is that late assignments can be accepted at professor discretion, but they will have a 50% penalty. This is a gate you pass through once, and there are no further penalties. If it's late, you simply get 50% deducted from whatever the score was. This happens regardless of whether it's 5 hours late or 5 weeks…
Teachers often assume that because an assignment is a groupassignment, they will automatically grade it per group via SpeedGrader. With the option “Grade students individually”, they think they’re simply assigning the group grade to each individual student — without realizing that this option actually requires them to…
Hi There, We are in the process of transitioning to Canvas this year and were wanting to connect with any other MYP schools to see how you setup Assignment and grading under your modules. Or you could guide us to any resources you may have.
