We needed a system that would pull grades data (including "Letter" grades) from many assignments in many courses. I couldn't find much to help with this, so developed some (API) scripts and this rudimentary system.
These slides give more detail, some context and ask a few questions:
System for importing Canvas grades into the Student Information System
Some of the scripts:
GitHub - jagobrown/canvas-lms-unsupported: Scripts for integration with Instructure's Canvas LMS
(Thinking aloud:
The fact that I've effectively re-created some Canvas DB Tables here, has made me ask myself why not run a local instances of Canvas and update these tables instead, and pull the grades from this DB. There could be other benefits of running a local instance as well?... Maybe in terms of archiving very old courses to reduce AWS/Canvas costs?)
I'll be a the #ALTC Annual Conference 2017 at Liverpool University UK on Tuesday 5th if anyone is there to discuss Canvas matters
Hoping for the full compliance of Canvas & SIS implementations with https://www.imsglobal.org/activity/onerosterlis
(one day soon) - will help us all!
