Use Canvas Assessment Synchronisation

Canvas Assessment Data Sync imports assessment information from Canvas into Schoolbox. This helps schools reduce duplicate data entry and keep assessment information consistent across both systems.

Schoolbox uses Canvas Data 2 to synchronise assessment, quiz, grade, and feedback information.

Synchronised data is updated in Schoolbox during the next Canvas synchronisation.

Canvas data must match Schoolbox data before assessment information can be synchronised.

• Canvas courses must have SIS Source IDs that match the configured SIS Source ID Template.
• Schoolbox folders or classes must contain the codes used in the SIS Source ID Template.
• Canvas Data 2 credentials must be configured in the Canvas Connector.

If Schoolbox cannot match a Canvas course to a Schoolbox folder or class, assessment data will not be imported for that course.

Schoolbox imports supported Canvas assessment data and maps it to Schoolbox assessment fields.

• Assessment title: imported from the Canvas assessment title.
• Description: imported from the Canvas assessment description.
• Due date: imported from the Canvas due date.
• Availability dates: imported from Canvas availability settings.
• Submission settings: imported from the Canvas submission configuration.
• Grades: imported when Import Grades From Canvas is enabled.
• Feedback: imported when feedback is available in Canvas.

Imported data depends on the assessment configuration in Canvas and the enabled Canvas Connector settings.

Canvas quizzes and grades can be imported into Schoolbox when the relevant connector settings are enabled.

• Import Basic Quiz Data From Canvas imports basic Canvas quiz information into Schoolbox.
• Imported Quiz Default Work Type assigns a Schoolbox work type to imported quizzes.
• Import Grades From Canvas imports student grades from Canvas.
• Schoolbox Grade Group That Canvas Letter Grades Are Mapped To maps Canvas letter grades to a Schoolbox grade group.

Schoolbox uses the configured SIS Source ID Template to identify which Canvas course matches each Schoolbox folder or class.

The template can use values from Schoolbox, including folder codes, parent folder codes, folder names, and year values.

If the generated SIS Source ID does not match the SIS Source ID in Canvas, Schoolbox cannot import assessment data for that course.
