The integration with PeopleSoft is exactly what we are looking for. Except that it has to exist for Infinite Campus. In our state, Iowa, we are limited to using a state approved vendor. Infinite Campus and Powerschool are the only two options available to us... both only support assignment level data. Can anyone recommend a way to go about developing a similar integrate between Canvas and Infinite Campus.

I completely understand that OneRoster is limited to assignment level passback. In fact it is not a course grade passback. it is an assignment score passback. there is not a course grade anywhere in the sync. Will Instructure or Canvas ever offer a solution that simply passes back the grade of record between systems? (I really don;t care if the solution is OneRoster or something else) Are there other SIS systems that we should consider switching to that would accommodate an overall grade sync. In order to use the current option we have to limit the way that instructors use Canvas, because the SIS system will not accept differentiated assignments from canvas.

Can you share more about how you accomplished this. We are looking at multiple solutions to this very issue. Additionally we are looking for an effective way to both provide parents and students an overview of progress via traditional gradebook information and being able to see outcome data across all courses. We use infinite campus and currently have been unable to unitize the grade passback, due to its limitations. So we currently use a script to post current grade each evening. (this works but is not ideal). Infinite Campus also does not have a way to share outcome data... How can we learn more?

We would love to be able to do this in infinite campus, along with the current/final grade. Infinite campus does not currently accept all of our Canvas assignments making the GBPB useless. We use Canvas because of the differentiation options. Infinite Campus cannot accept differentiated assignments.

Ideally we would like to either schedule when the "course grade" is communicated to the SIS. In our case we would simply like the course grade to travel between the programs. The current process does not allow for all assignment scores to be communicated. It would also in theory allow the instructor to push grades to the sis as well.

We are doing similar, using a custom script to pull and post a daily file. This is however very complicated, and is a for now solution. The ultimate solution would be to simplify the OneRoster passback, allowing the OneRoster connection to push or pull the final grade or individual assignment as configured. This would be a much more sustainable and scalable solution for districts.

There are serious limitations to syncing grades between Infinite Campus and Canvas. Specifically differentiation within canvas, and assignment naming requirements... limit our ability to fully use Canvas. What alternatives are there to getting the course grade into Infinite Campus.

shermanm · ‎08-17-2021

https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/104433 Please create a course grade passback. We use infinite Campus, they will not accept all Canvas assignments. at the end of the day, we just need a simple tool allowing the course grade (not assignment) to be exported.

shermanm · ‎07-09-2021

We have found that the current Gradebook assignment passback is not a viable solution for us, as it limits the way that we have implemented Canvas. We actually want all of our teachers to differentiate assignments in their gradebook. The current sync will not allow any assignments that have not been assigned to all students. We are in search of a simpler solution, one that ignores the assignment scores, and simply syncs the overall or current course grade or score... This could be a single value like a grade A, B, or C... or the points earned over points possible... 104 out of 120 for example. What other options do we have?

I submitted an Idea request for this. Hopefully we can get some votes to make this happen. https://community.canvaslms.com/ideas/16275-final-grade-passback-to-infinite-campus

The current passback to infinite campus only supports assignment level passback. This is a cumbersome, redundant, and inefficient process for teachers. It forces teachers to operate in two gradebooks. It also invites a senario where the grade calculation in the two system do not match, resulting in two different grades. We must have an accurate way to transfer the grade to our SIS for transcripts and reporting. The total grade is all we need. My understanding is that an upgrade to OneRoster 1.2 will facilitate this. Supporting a final grade solution for infinite campus allows our teachers to perform all of their work in Canvas, our gradebook of choice. #InfiniteCampus #Kimono #Gradebook #wdmcs #OneRoster

We are having the same issue. We are also seeing students get added to courses that they are not scheduled in. Infinite Campus states that even if the student is deleted without an end date, they are excluded from the "magical" OneRoster export.

shermanm · ‎01-28-2020

I actually don't have the script, I had the programmer run it for us. It did work. But eventually we need to work towards a more embedded way to get this done.

Can you direct me to that documentation for IC? Are they stating that OneRoster1.2 will allow for term grade passback? When I reached our to IC, they stated that they only support term level grades for schoology. (This is a bit ironic as schoology is now owned by powerschool) At this point I am thinking the best course of action for us is to move toward cutting IC gradebook completely out of the loop. We are working toward developing a script to post directly to the transcript at the end of the term.

shermanm · ‎12-18-2019

We have developed a script that allows for the nightly update of the current grade to infinite campus. This script however still requires teachers to manual post a final grade in infinite campus. Literally the only reason we need to import the grade is so we can post to the transcript at the end of the term. Therefore we are strongly considering just posting directly to the transcript, and saving our teachers some time and effort.

We are struggling with exactly the same issue. Getting the two grading systems to calculate the same grade was next to impossible, because of differently weighted assignments and categories. We also founf the need for the teacher to manage assignments in both systems to be silly. Kimono is supposed to allow for term level scores via the One Roster Passback. I haven't been able to get an answer from anyone as to how to enable this. Infinite Campus answered by stating that the only preferred partner that they allow final grade pass back with is Schoology. We have turned off the grade pass back for now and written a sql program that imports the current grade from canvas. This script updates the in progress grade each night with the current % score in canvas. To make this work we had to remove grade book access in infinite campus, and now have teachers use the "post grades" tab in IC to manually enter the in-progress grade that we import.

I need to be able to pull the current grade for all students, and be able to identify students that have a certain grade. I see how to do this for each course, how do I do this for all courses? I do not want to passback the assignment, just the current overall grade.

shermanm · ‎09-09-2019

We are thinking it might be simpler to only pass-back the current overall course grade in Cavnas to Infinite Campus (without assignment scores) Is this possible?
