Sync grades to Canvas

myViewBoard Hub allows teachers to send quiz results to the Canvas gradebook, via a one-way sync process. Quiz results appear as an assignment score in Canvas. Note the following behavior:

• Teachers can manually select which questions count toward the grade. This allows teachers to exclude warm-up questions from the sync.
• Each sync creates an assignment entry in Canvas that uses the class and lesson time as the entry name.

To ensure that the sync is successful, verify first that:

• The district's Canvas roster is setup with the correct write scopes.
• The teacher signed in through their Canvas account.
• The students joined the class through their Canvas IDs.

End the class

First, finish the lesson and end the class to save the results to myViewBoard Hub. 

1. Ensure all questions presented had reached their results screen.
2. Click the Join Class icon on the main toolbar.
3. On the Join Class window, click End class. 

All responses collected during the session are saved with the lesson in myViewBoard Hub. Note that results are not saved to myViewBoard Hub if any of the following conditions are true:
 

❌ Quizzes started with a One-time class are not saved.

❌ Quizzes manually closed before the results screen are not saved.

To start a new quiz: Once the End class action is triggered, you will need to go through the class selection process again. Once this new session ends (by clicking End class again), it will appear as another entry in myViewBoard Hub.

Start sync process

All responses are saved with the lesson in myViewBoard Hub. To sync this response data with Canvas, perform the steps below.

1. Sign in to myViewBoard Hub. 
   1. Go to Reports » Lesson History.
   2. Select the lesson to open its record. 
   3. Open the Question Record tab. 
       

2. Click Sync data to Canvas. 
   1. The UI switches into sync mode. 
   2. Review the instructions at the top.
   3. Select questions that should count toward the grade. The score is recalculated live at the bottom of the page as the selection changes.
       
3. Click Sync. 
   1. On the popup, click Sync to confirm. 
   2. If first-time sync, click Authorize on the Canvas page.

Allow some time for the sync to process. To monitor sync results, click Grade Sync History on the top right to review the status of the sync.

Verify on Canvas

Score data appears in Canvas afterwards as assignments. To verify:

1. Sign in to Canvas
   1. Click Courses on the sidepanel
   2. Click your course. 
   3. Click Grades. 
       
2. In the Gradebook table: 
   1. The Assignments column shows the student score.
   2. Click the student name to view more details.
   3. Verify that the scores shown here matches the one in Hub.

Note the following behavior:

• Scores transfer to Canvas as an assignment. Use Canvas to edit a score/grade. Note that any change made in Canvas are not reflected in myViewBoard Hub.
• Review Grade Sync History before performing a re-sync. If you sync the same lesson again, Hub will create a new sync entry. 
• Since every participant in a Canvas class signs in with Canvas, all responses in the lesson are correctly matched to their student ID.
