Padlet Assignment

[PaulSijpkes]

Hi everyone!

I'm struggling with the Canvas Padlet Assignment. 

I can:

1. Create a single Padlet Assignment, in which all users enrolled in Canvas can contribute
   
   
2. Create a Padlet Assignment per user, in which each user gets a blank template Padlet to complete, this is what I'd like to set up for the academic's course since they want each student to create a Timeline for a history subject.

However,  when the user has added to the Padlet there is no way to Submit the assignment. 

Am I missing a step in the setup?

I see that this is an older post. I have used Padlets with the whole class adding to one Padlet. The Padlet is embedded to the Canvas assignment page and I aslo add a link to the Padlet on the Canvas page. Students don't need to "submit" because their contribution is on the Padlet and I just mark it as complete. (I think I choose No Submission on the assignment.)

I'm not sure how to go about giving each person their own Padlet on Canvas.

Hi!

There is an LTI for Padlet but other than that, to give each student their own Padlet I would have students go straight to Padlet, complete assignment, come back to Canvas, submit as a link. 

Hope that helps!

We subscribe to backpack and I've tested the LTI, but honestly it's just better in my case to embed Padlets onto Canvas pages or have students submit them as links.  Sometimes I want students to embed Padlets in their discussion posts.  I typically have a Padlet introductions assignment at the beginning of the term.  This week in my consumer motivation class I'm having students document a retail experience and embed a Padlet into their initial posts.  Sometimes I embed a communal Padlet onto an assignment page and have students claim a column and curate content throughout the week.  In all of these cases, the LTI really isn't for me and embedding is quite simple and effective.

You may have figured this out already, but I'm posting this so others may find the answer as well (because it's hard to find). We're working on setting up Padlet integration right now, and our Padlet rep has told us that grade passback is not currently supported, so there isn't a way for students to "submit" the assignment via Canvas and have Canvas identify the submission.

Facutly would need to open the padlet in a new window and then manually enter the grades into the Canvas Grades tool.

According to our rep the grade passback functionality is on the roadmap for 2024.

Hey Paul 👋, 

For closure on this topic. Padlet does now support grade passback: https://padlet.blog/gradebook-and-grade-passback/

Admins, will need to ensure that appropriate settings are enabled in the LTI 1.3 settings for grade passback and roster sync. 

Instructors and course designers, you will need to set it up as an assignment with submission type set to 'external tool'. Then, select Padlet and choose the board to use, and whether or not you want separate boards per student. 

Grading and feedback can be left in Padlet on the board - ensure you toggle on the option in Padlet for grades to be synchronised to the LMS.
