Canvas has developed an automated integration infrastructure between Infinite Campus and Canvas for Grade Passback (GPB) utilizing APIs made available from Infinite Campus. The integration creates assignments and posts grades into the Infinite CampusGradebook based on the latest assignment settings and submission data in Canvas.
The Canvas Infinite Campus integration works bi-directionally:
In order to use GPB you must first purchase Infinite Campus’ Campus Learning solution. Please contact your client executive at Infinite Campus for more details. Instructure’s integration for provisioning and grade passback comes with no additional costs.
Also, you must have Infinite Campus version 1837 or higher.
As a SIS administrator, you must visit Infinite Campus System System Administration-Learning Interoperability-Grading Services. Click on Kimono (Canvas), and enable the integration. You must also generate a key and secret here. This required key works for all grading services and rostering endpoints.
The Canvas Infinite Campus Grade passback process creates the following information from Canvas in your Infinite Campus gradebook:
Currently, the only integration option that allows for Infinite Campus grade passback with Canvas is the OneRoster 1.1 integration through the SIS Platform.
By default for new clients, we use the source ID from OneRoster as the SIS ID in Canvas. We will attempt to continue to use the existing Canvas SIS ID if it is unique and available in OneRoster for existing clients moved to the Kimono platform.
When an instructor leaves an existing course, Infinite Campus keeps track of the teacher's record and notifies Canvas accordingly. Teachers may leave a course for various reasons, such as if they leave the school for another position, a new teacher is hired, or a teacher is sick and needs to be replaced with a substitute for an indefinite period of time. When a teacher is unenrolled from a course in Infinite Campus, a deletion record is sent to Canvas with the teacher's courses and corresponding student enrollments.
When a new teacher is assigned to the course, a new course record is sent to Canvas with new enrollments for the corresponding students. The new course enrollment, however, does not let the new teacher see any of the previous teacher's work, such as grades assigned to previous student submissions. To allow the new teacher to view all prior coursework, an admin needs to crosslist the new sections with the old teacher's courses.
