How do I set up an assignment to be sent to Qmlativ for grade passback?
If your institution has set up Canvas grade passback (GPB) with Qmlativ, you can sync your Canvas course gradebook to your Qmlativ gradebook. However, you must first specify which assignment(s) in the course should be included in a GPB sync.
You can also specify which graded discussions and quizzes should be included in GPB sync.
Notes:
- Once set up for SIS sync, you can enable or disable synced items on the Assignment and Quizzes index pages. In the Assignments Index Page, you can also disable all assignments from being synced to Qmlativ.
- Non-graded assignment types cannot be synced to Qmlativ.
Open Assignments
In Course Navigation, click the Assignments link.
Add Assignment
Click the Add Assignment button.
Edit Assignment
Alternatively, you can edit an existing assignment. To open the assignment, click the assignment name [1]. Then on the assignment's details page, click the Edit button [2].
Add Assignment Name
Enter a name for the assignment in the Assignment Name field.
For GPB with Qmlativ to work, assignment names must be 30 or fewer characters.
Select Sync to SIS
On the assignment details page, select the Sync to SIS checkbox. The assignment and any student scores will be included when you sync your Canvas gradebook to Qmlativ.
Notes:
- Your institution can auto-enable all assignments to be sent to Qmlativ. To exclude an assignment from SIS sync, de-select the Sync to SIS checkbox.
- The SIS checkbox also displays on quizzes and graded discussions details pages.
- The SIS checkbox does not display for non-graded assignment types.
- The Sync to SIS option may display the name of your institution's SIS.
Add Due Date
Enter an assignee in the Assign to field [1]. You can assign to everyone and/or a section.
Enter a due date in the Due field [2].
Notes:
- If you use differentiated assignments to allow different sections different due dates, you must also include a due date for the remaining students using the Everyone Else option in the Assign to field [3]. However, only the specified sections are included in the grade sync.
- When an individual section is added to an assignment, the Everyone option changes to Everyone Else.
Save Assignment
Click the Save button [1].
Note: For new assignments, you can click the Save & Publish button [2].
View Assignment Errors
