hi James - what is the 3rd party you are using for hosted WebWork and Canvas? thanks

Adrienne_J_Gaut · ‎04-14-2020

We have multiple graders, and we’ve found that you cannot have multiple people using the rubric. For example, if TA1 grades problem 1 at 9am and marks off the rubric for the score on problem 1...then later at 11am when TA2 goes to grade problem 2, the rubric entry TA 1 made is gone. Multiple graders with a rubric used to work, and then we found out they fixed a bug...and it stopped working. Between us and the L2’s in Canvas support, we decided that the bug allowed us to do this, when it shouldn’t have. It wasn’t a feature.

I came here seeking the same answer --- Speedgrader on file upload quiz question. What we are having professors do for our remote teaching term --- is have a Part 1 and Part 2 experience in Canvas. This is STEM courses where exams usually have multiple choice or select or matching, and then long problems. Part 1: Canvas quiz for auto-graded questions, time-limited once started, open for 24-48 hrs. Part 2: "Take Home Exam" using an assignment with selective start/end (open for same 24-48 hrs), forced PDF upload. This allows grad TAs to each grade 1 problem, everyone can mark up, Comments, etc. (can't use rubrics though). Interestingly - in our "test assignment" with students to be sure they could all make a PDF with their devices (Genius PDF or Microsoft Lens), some uploaded multiple image files as .HEIC and .HEIF image files --- which Speedgrader does not render. Not idea where this format comes from, so we are asking students what they used. We'll see how it works later this week!

hi all - I could preface my question with "emergency mode activated!" but many of us are in this situation. We put the Zoom integration on ice over 6 mo ago b/c we had issues with a few things. What is the current happiness level with the Zoom integration? What do you feel is an awesome feature that would make us install the integration tomorrow? What are you annoyances and "well, think twice" you want to share? thank you all in advance! Stay well.

Adrienne_J_Gaut · ‎02-27-2020

Does anyone have experience with setting up the Leganto integration with Canvas, where, your institution has cross-listed courses (2+ Canvas sections in each Canvas course shell)? Once I know if there is anyone with experience, I'll go into details. tl;dr though I can send over two sectionIDs in the courseid variable out of Canvas, Leganto only recognizes the first one in the comma separated list.

hi Anna, No - the developer key isn't tied to your specific account as the creator of the developer key --- it IS tied to the root account: "As an admin, you can manage developer keys for root accounts." Let's say you-Anna create the dev-key for a vendor app. Then, you leave your institution and your user account is deleted. The dev key will still work. It's not tied to you. It also has its own set of permissions, it does not gain the permissions of you-Anna as a high-level admin. It can only get the vendor into your Canvas instance, but then it can't actually do anything (see data, edit/view anything in a course, etc.) (I'm writing the rest of this post, assuming there is confusion on what a dev key does/does not do, but I'd rather you have the info if you aren't clear, rather than coming off as 'splainy about it.) A vendor app then usually asks for authorization from a user that is using the app, and gets a user Access Token to do what it needs. That Access Token can only let the vendor do what that user-permission allows. So like, one doesn't usually want admins to click through a vendor app and give authorization for an Access Token b/c then the vendor has an admin level Access Token...which is way more data/actions available than say, a teacher-level Access Token which only gives access to actions/data that that teacher can do (in those teacher's courses). Our process is to masquerade as a non-admin user to vet/test things or use a fake account. Or, if no way around that, then after testing we delete the admin-level Access Token. The 'Owner Email' can be anything - you put that value in. It might be a super admin email address for a specific person, or it might be a service account, etc. One of our developer keys has a vendor email as the Owner email. We like to use a service account email in the Owner email, one that has a monitored mailbox, etc. if notifications ever happen. It also tells other admins who created it, so it's documentation as well. I can suggest talking to your CSM about developer keys before issuing any so your institution can best understand the risks/limitations/etc. and how dev keys work. Other folks reading, if I've put mis-information above, please do correct me

Adrienne_J_Gaut · ‎02-20-2019

hi Anna, Developer Keys aren't attached to a specific user account the way Access Tokens are. Developer Keys are created by any admin that has permission to do so, which, would most likely be the highest level admin in your account. Not all admins would/should be able to create Developer Keys. For the "owner email" - that is where you'd want it to most likely be a service account or service owner. Are you thinking of Access Tokens, which are different? Access Tokens are tied to a user and that user's permissions...so...one would want to be very careful about admins creating Access Tokens and tied to individuals, rather than a service account.

Adrienne_J_Gaut · ‎01-25-2019

Good to know! I'm about to dig into getting it set up in a test course while we make our decision on implementing on a sub-account level.

Adrienne_J_Gaut · ‎01-24-2019

Hmmm...they shouldn't. Unless a super admin deleted it or disabled it?

Adrienne_J_Gaut · ‎01-24-2019

Hmmmm - and you have the Developer install under the 3rd party tab in the Zoom Marketplace admin panel for the LTI Pro? Did your Dev key change?

Adrienne_J_Gaut · ‎01-24-2019

Fantastic info and post, Jesse. Many thanks!

Adrienne_J_Gaut · ‎01-16-2019

hey Peter (and everyone else!) --- We're having an issue that Zoom is baffled by and I was wondering if you wouldn't mind sharing which admin permissions you have in Zoom that allow you to see the Manage panel for LTI Pro in the Zoom Marketplace? Where you can see the key/secret/dev key tab, etc.? So far - only the uber Owner (Zoom language, the ONE individual who owns the service) can see the Manage tab w/ all the right info/forms. Thanks in advance!

Adrienne_J_Gaut · ‎01-15-2019

The first release did not, and, calendar/conversations were not included. In the December (2nd release) Calendar was added, which requires a dev key install to work (so they say). It's in this help guide, and, I saw the settings screens from the Owner/admin view when we were first figuring out what we needed. LTI Pro for Canvas -

Adrienne_J_Gaut · ‎01-15-2019

In our case, we want the Calendar/Scheduler features so need to go the Developer Key route. As such, it's our policy we don't send those by email, put them out there, give them to anyone that doesn't need that level of knowledge. So - I need to be the one to install/place into the Zoom Marketplace, etc. We're also working out the custom email variable since our default email field in Canvas isn't what Zoom is using as the email. So, I need to play with those options as well until we get it right. But - until we suss out all the security (how the Dev Key is stored, is it obscured once entered into the Zoom Marketplace, etc.) we aren't installing anything.

Adrienne_J_Gaut · ‎01-15-2019

I'll report back here the answers we get in our Take 2 Repeat LTI questionnaire, it might help some folks here out. These might look familiar and are versions of Jesse's suggested questions. Here are our LTI questions: Please list all of the API endpoints used in the LTI Pro/Canvas integration as well as their intended purpose. This should include all endpoints where data will be read/written. As an example of well-documented API endpoint transparency, please see this vendor’s documentation: https://cidilabs.instructure.com/courses/288/pages/data-api-endpoints We are looking to scope developer keys so we need this information. Please send your policy and process to comply with FERPA and protecting student data. Please send information on Zoom’s security policy surrounding how you store API tokens and developer keys, as well as where that information is revealed to end-users (Zoom admins or anyone wishing to install Zoom in their Canvas course) and to whom it is available within Zoom developers/tech support.

Adrienne_J_Gaut · ‎01-15-2019

I wasn't told that, but instead got a run-around and incomplete answers about the guides, that, they had everything they needed, etc. It does seem the CSMs are out of the loop on many things. I think, honestly, that we've been spoiled by our awesome Instructure CSM who is always on the ball, finds us answers, connects us to the right people. My expectations are high! We're still waiting on them to figure out why no one but the single Owner (you can have only 1 Owner uber admin) can see the Marketplace set up and configurations. So, we're not even set up yet and trying it out.

Adrienne_J_Gaut · ‎01-14-2019

hi Paul - thanks for that info! We're currently trying to get things squared away with Zoom and the Pro LTI. Right now they can't figure out why my admin status in Zoom can't configure it. We see the Manage tab where you can get all the key/secret info and put in the dev key. Maybe something has changed since they first launched LTI Pro? Can you post the links that they provided you? My next step is to have them outline their API calls as we'll want to scope their dev key. Any info you have on that would be great and put us ahead of things.

Adrienne_J_Gaut · ‎01-10-2019

Just catching up --- in the LTI Pro newest release in the Zoom Marketplace admin panel for installing the LTI Pro for Canvas, there is a form where you can put in the custom variable coming from Canvas and match it to the Zoom LTI email variable. To find out what it was in Canvas, I ran the Google Developer Tools that captures all the data while clicking on the Zoom LTI. I could then search for the netid@dartmouth.edu data and then see what the variable was, as well as create a new custom variable. It was all pretty neat and I learned a lot just by playing/instinct until I refined.

Adrienne_J_Gaut · ‎01-10-2019

We never installed the prior LTIs b/c they were features missing we wanted and some other oddities. So - LTIPro is a fresh install. My own process would be to use Beta and Test to figure out what happens, potentially close to the refresh date to get more play-time. One of my colleagues at a different northeast institution noted that going from the old deprecated LTI to the LTI Enhanced caused existing Zoom events to fly away. Maybe they fixed that?
