Syncing Data with Canvas (LTI 1.3)

Click on the Lingco Classroom tab on the left side navigation in your Canvas course to access Lingco.

If you don't have an account yet, you'll be taken to the account registration page to finish creating your account.
​

Once you finish creating your account, you'll be brought to a page that looks like the image below. If you already have a Lingco account, clicking the Lingco Classroom tab in Canvas will launch you directly to this page.

If you don’t have a course created, click the Create Course link towards the bottom of the page. Once created, you’ll be brought back to this page. Select the course you just created, then click Continue.

If you already have course(s) created, select the Lingco course you’d like to link to, then click Continue.

Before transferring data, you'll need to sync your Canvas and Lingco rosters. To do this, click on Roster on the right sidebar, click +Add/Invite to Course, and then click the Sync with Canvas button.

NOTE: If your school/district is also using our OneRoster integration, you should NOT sync the roster. OneRoster will handle any and all roster updates when we do the nightly sync.

To share a graded assignment (vocabulary set or activity) on Canvas, navigate to the assignment and under the grading panel, click the Share as Graded Assignment button. This will create an equivalent assignment on Canvas with the same due date and number of points. If a grading category is set, then the assignment will be added to the corresponding assignment group if one is found.

Once an assignment has been shared, the Sync Grades with Canvas button can be clicked to send the grades to Canvas. You can click this button as many times as needed (e.g., if a student submitted an assignment late, you can click this again to update their grade in the Canvas gradebook).

When we send grades to Canvas, we send them as a percentage. So, if you adjust the rules of the assignment like the number of points, make it pass/fail, etc. the assignment should adapt accordingly.

I shared the assignment but I don't see it in Canvas

If no grading category was set, or if we didn't find a matching one in Canvas, then Canvas places it in the first assignment category that it finds. To find the assignment, click on the assignments tab in Canvas and search for it by name. The Canvas assignment will have the same name as the Lingco assignment.

I see the assignment in Canvas but I don't see my students' grades after syncing

Verify that your roster is checked. When you sync the roster, we look for a match for each student and store their Canvas user ID in Lingco. If this step doesn't happen, we won't be able to assign a grade for a student and they will be skipped.
