Requirements define the actions a learner must complete in order to progress through a pathway. Issuers can add requirements to a pathway step based on Canvas courses, Canvas assignments, earned credentials, or manual experiences.
Canvas assignment requirements allow pathway progress to reflect a learners graded submission for a specific assignment. Progress is based on the learners most recent graded submission in Canvas. This lesson explains how to add a requirement to a pathway step and configure the requirement settings.
Notes:
- To use Canvas assignments as pathway requirements, there must be at least one active Canvas Credentials LTI connection.
- Letter Grade and GPA grading models are not supported.
- Supported grading types include Points, Percentage, and Completion.
- Assignment grading settings are imported from Canvas and cannot be edited in Pathways.
