Task: This article describes how to sync your iClicker Cloud grades with Canvas.
Instructions:
- Once you have set up the integration, you can sync your Canvas grades at any time from the iClicker Cloud gradebook.
- A "Grade Sync" column appears in your iClicker Cloud gradebook when you have the integration active
- This column displays icons to indicate the grade sync status for each student. The different icons and their meanings are summarized below. When viewing them in your iClicker Cloud gradebook, you can move your cursor over each icon to see a tooltip explanation.
- Click the "Sync Grade" button on the "Gradebook" page to initiate the grade sync
- Note that a roster sync is automatically included with every grade sync to ensure that your roster is as up-to-date as possible before grades are sent.
- A dialog opens with a list of your course’s polls and quizzes
- Select which activities you want to sync to Canvas, then click the Sync button.
Important Notes:
- When complete, a summary of the sync request is shown with the number of students successfully synced and any error details if an issue was encountered
- This summary dialog will look identical to the dialog shown after a roster sync.
- Changes to previously-synced scores that you make in Canvas will be overwritten the next time iClicker Cloud is synced. We recommend making score changes directly in iClicker Cloud, then sync to Canvas to ensure that the two gradebooks are consistent with each other.
- The iClicker Cloud-Canvas grade sync is based on session ID when syncing individual polls and quizzes. Changing the name of a poll or quiz after you sync grades will not break the original association, but it might be confusing if your activity names don’t match between Canvas and iClicker.
