Mastery Connect provides two primary methods for creating new trackers:

A common Canvas practice is to copy course content from a previous course and reuse the content in a new course. However, it is important to check if the course contains Mastery Connect assignments prior to linking the new tracker. If Mastery Connect assignments exist after duplicating the course, we recommend completing the following steps before setting up the new tracker:
PRO TIP: If your Canvas course archives at the change of a semester, you can link a tracker from the first semester course and continue to track your students’ progress towards mastery. In the Select Source drop down, select the Link a Tracker from another Course option. This will provide you a list of trackers to choose from. |
In order to make the Mastery Connect + Canvas integration as seamless as possible, teachers should use their district provided email as their Canvas primary email. The Mastery Connect integration currently utilizes this as the method to identify the teacher and connect them to their Mastery Connect account.
Previously, co-teachers had to be manually added as collaborators to a tracker. However, now any person listed as a teacher in a Canvas course will automatically have access to the course tracker.
Applying some of these best practices can help ensure you are leveraging the Mastery Connect + Canvas integration in a seamless, user-friendly way that will support your instructional goals for your classroom!
