Using API to change Assignments to use Plagiarism Framework

Hi folks, I'm trying to use the API to change an assignment settings from using Turnitin as an external tool, to using Canvas file upload and plagiarism review.

This is a similar approach to what I did when I couldn't get JWT to work, but that doesn't mean it's a replacement for it. The case I was talking about in the other discussion was with Arc (now Canvas Studio). I think that now there are developer keys available for Studio and so that might make JWT possible whereas it wasn't at the time. At the…

I looked at JWTs at the 2018 InstructureCon with some Canvas engineers and ended up going a completely different route. However, the documentation for them mentions similarity reports, so it may work in this case. I'm not going to be able to help with this one, I don't have any way to test. Here's the API documentation, though: ### JWT Access…

Javascript Question

Is there a javascript that I can use that will return a user's full name. I have been fairly successful using Javascripts on .html pages, but I need to return the user's name for a certificate after certain modular requirements are met.

It looks like Display Name is the only one available in the ENV variable ENV.current_user.display_name You would probably have to use the API to grab their Full Name. Assuming you're doing this in the Global Javascript file.

Accessing the override_grade Data from the API

I recently created a process to pull final grades from Canvas to then import into our antiquated SIS. I'm using the enrollment object to access the grades for each student. However, some instructors have used the new override grades feature. In the API documentation under Enrollments, it shows override_grade as a piece of data in the enrollment… (Show more)

Thanks, Erin Hallmark. I have reviewed the style guide 2.0. IntUI looks wonderful, and it makes complete sense for Instructure to make that move. However, deprecating the old style guide/code without having something in place that allows an end-user to replicate some of the core functionality while still using HTML (i.e., without the need to fuss…

With the Canvas API how can you get a list of all sections for a term?

I'd like to get a list of all sections (not courses) for a specific term. Is this possible? If not, is it possible to do this without using the API?
