Hello all,
I am looking for schools that are using Workday as their SIS system, and if so are you using the grade pass back plugin option? If not, are there any particular reasons why you are not using grade pass back plug in option?
Sorry for resurrecting a nearly year-old post, but I’m with The University of Tampa and we were the fifth school to implement Workday Student. We recently switched to Canvas in Fall 2023 and currently use Workday as our SIS.
While I am not a Workday expert by any means, we do have a dedicated Workday Solutions team and an integrations architect who designed our current SIS integration based on our previous one with Blackboard.
To your question, @sfrankli1, we do not currently use grade passback. I can’t speak to any technical reasons why, but I think it’s more because we only just switched to Canvas so recently and haven’t had a chance to look into that. Our faculty are used to entering final grades into Workday manually at the end of each semester, so we’re looking at it as a future state “nice-to-have” feature.
If you (or anyone else reading this who is also a Workday Student user) are planning to attend InstructureCon 2024, I’d be happy to meet up and discuss our experiences!

We are using Workday student as our SIS. We also have a process to push grades from the gradebook to Workday. However, it is not an integration provided by Workday, the files push to an internal server and then a process pushes them up to Workday. I don't have knowledge of how our developers make this work, so I'm not sure of the specifics. I am looking for Workday-provided integration solutions, which is how I came across this post, code to pull and push data between the two systems is what we use now with flat files. We create courses this way, enrollments, terms, sections, and people.
Yesterday, after much trial and error…I concluded the new quizzes matching choice options do not work as I expected, and have used with other LMS. I thought that I could provide students a matching choice quiz with multiple attempts that would report incorrectly answered matches on the first attempt, and display the…
I have seen documentation that says you must recopy your iCal link and resubscribe when you are enrolled in new classes, does this mean my iCal feed link changes each time, or do i just need to re-fetch the .ics file?
We use course pacing to manage due dates, because we run ~20 something courses each quarter and manually setting due dates would be a nightmare. Several courses have two core topics. We want to allow students to choose which of these they will pursue first. Is there any way to configure multiple course paces with different…
Hoping someone can explain for me. We're using pacing to avoid manually dating regular assignments each quarter, but the dates I see are based on when the course was instantiated, while students see dates based on when they were added to the course by [backend software I don't know anything about, presumably]. If I set…
Has anyone else had issues with an influx of duplicate users in Canvas? Ours is currently in the form of an email that already exists, becoming a new user - and not automatically merging with the user ID with the same email that also is linked to our SIS ID correctly as well. For example, user 1 is xyz@gmail.com without a…
