I dunno, I created a little Python program using the API to rename all the courses from the previous term and add a "Fall 2020 - " before the name........ ... View more

It's pretty easy to write a program to take the csv files from Smartmusic and use the API or the Python CanvasAPI library to put these in Canvas.

First 5 lines of the csv are just general class information (column names, due date for each column, total points for each column, class average for each column, class average-label which I have no idea what that is for) and then 6th line you start getting students. So, that's all good, but for Canvas, you'd have to link to an external tool URL. Ok, fine. But then they do the assignment.....but you'd still have to export the csv's out and run something to get them into Canvas. (here python is your friend) Ideally, if SmartMusic had an API for this, it would be easier. You could just have a program run every couple of hours and grab stuff. Of course SmartMusic doesn't have an API that I know of, and they STILL won't let you make assignments that have real audio accompaniments (like if you did something with generated Band in a Box backgrounds.....can't do those. Has to be all Midi).....so.........   ... View more
