Canvas Integration - Using Import

Go to Course Items → Export, select the items you want to export, select your LMS, and Download the Export Cartridge

To import the cartridge in Canvas:

• Go to Settings, then Import Course Content
• For Content Type, select Canvas Course Export Package. Select the export file from your computer, and select All Content. Click Import.
• If you have an LTI 1.3 connection or global LTI 1.1 college-wide key and secret, you do not need to set up a course-level configuration. If you need to set up a course level configuration, in your Canvas course:
  • Go to Settings, then Apps, then View App Configurations
  • Locate for the XYZ Homework App. Use the gear icon dropdown to select Edit
  • For the Consumer Key, enter the Key listed in the Export screen in your XYZ Homework course.
  • For Shared Secret enter the secret you set up in your Course Settings
  • Click Submit

Next you will need to establish the connection between your XYZ Homework course and Canvas course

• In Canvas, click one of the assessment links in your course.
• If this is your first time using this key and secret, XYZ Homework will ask you, the teacher, to sign into your XYZ Homework account. This is necessary to establish a connection between your LMS account and your XYZ Homework account. You will not need to do this step again.
• Follow the prompts to associate the LMS course with your existing XYZ Homework course or create a copy.
• Once complete, all the LTI links in your LMS should work.
• Be aware:
  • Links, files, forums, and and text items were imported into your LMS. Changing them in XYZ Homework will not change them in your LMS
  • If you change assessment settings or the questions in an assessment in XYZ Homework, those changes will show up when the assessment is launched from the LMS
  • If you change due dates in XYZ Homework, they will be enforced by XYZ Homework, but the due dates in the LMS will not automatically be updated. However, there is a course setting to allow Canvas to set the due dates in XYZ Homework.
  • Any new items added in XYZ Homework, including new assessments, will not automatically show up in the LMS; you would need to repeat the export/import process.
  • If configured, grades will be sent from XYZ Homework to the LMS immediately every time the student completes a question, but the LMS may delay updating the grade.
