Assignments not loading into a Module

I have a list of assignments being pulled in from Pearson's MyFrenchLabs. All of the assignments from the publisher are showing correctly in the assignment index in my course. When I go to insert some (about a dozen out of 50 assignments) of these assignments into a module, they are not listed as options to insert.

Has anyone experienced this, and if so, guidance is greatly appreciated

Hello @emily_morgan ...

I have a small bit of experience (though quite limited) with Pearson MyLabs LTI content. My first question would be...when you look at your "Assignments" page in Canvas, what kind of icon is showing up next to those Pearson MyFrenchLabs items that you've imported into your course? In my example below, the icons from top to bottom are graded Discussion, Quiz, and Assignment.

Assignment Icons

When you are trying to add the item to your Modules screen, are you selecting the appropriate category from the drop-down list? Hopefully, the Pearson content would show up in one of those lists. If you can please confirm this, that would be great...thanks!

I am having a similar issue.

(1) I created a Course on Person's MyLab Math (MLM)

(2) I integrated Canvas/MLM

(3) no problem with the assignments showing in the dropdown box of assignments to link in canvas....

BUT then I made updates to the MLM course, and the new assignment on MLM shows up in MLM but does not show up in the list of assignments on Canvas. I can not find a way to create a link to the assignmetn on canvas. Can anyone help me troubleshoot?

In the case that anyone else has this problem, I finally have a resolution to this VERY frustrating problem. This is what I received from the Pearson Tech Team, and it finally worked. Please Note that I would have NEVER thought of this because I am not really trying to "sync grades".

Good day! I hope this email finds you well and safe. Apologies for the inconvenience that this concern has caused you. For the assignments that are not synching Professor, please try to manually synch it in Canvas, please see the steps below.
For manual grade synchronization :

Log into Canvas.
Click on the MyLab and Mastering link in the course navigation menu to the left.
You should now see the Home tab of the MyLab and Mastering tool.
Click on the Grade Sync tab to access the tool’s synchronization settings.
Choose the items that you would like to synchronize immediately by clicking on the checkboxes beside them.
Click the "Sync Grades Now" button to begin updating the selected assignments.
Once your grades have finished synchronizing, view your Assignments and Grades by clicking the respective links in
the course navigation menu.

I found that I had an "instructor course" and a "student course." I had unknowingly created some of the assignments in the Instructor course, and some in the student course. Only the student course is linked to my Canvas Shell. I haven't yet figured out how to migrate the assignments from the Instructor course to the student course so I can access them in Canvas....

Outcomes not working
Our "Outcomes" has not been working for about 6 months. Teachers can't build and attach Outcomes to new quizzes. Canvas said it was a rollover issue. Canvas won't fix it unless we pay them $2000 to "re-train" us for 10 hours. Has anyone had this problem and did it get fixed?
using Canvas to teach foreign languages that use accented letters and other special characters
I am currently teaching a high school Spanish course, and many of my assignments use the fill-in-the-blank question type in new quizzes. The problem that I'm encountering is when a question requires a special character, such as an accented vowel (examples include: á Ó or ü) or the special letter ñ (which is a different…
Course Analytics not currently reporting all data ?
Has anyone found gaps in their course analytics ?
