Canvas Webcourses and Score Syncing

As you prepare for the summer sessions, we wanted to relate some news about how the library’s Information Literacy Modules will work in webcourses (Canvas) starting with the Summer A session.

Currently, the scores from assigned information literacy modules will not sync with your webcourses grade book. If you have module scores from the spring semester, you have two choices to put grades into webcourses: 1) manually or 2) by downloading from the Obojobo repository and then uploading scores into your grade book.

[The instructions to download/upload scores are here: http://onlinesupport.cdl.ucf.edu/obojobo/export-grades/]

Starting on May 13, a new feature will allow the module scores to move automatically into the webcourses grade book. If you want to take advantage of automatic score syncing, you will need to create your module instances as an Assignment in webcourses. If you do not need scores to sync to your grade book, you can create instances and set up your modules as you always have from the repository here: http://obojobo.ucf.edu/repository

Instructions on how to set up your information literacy modules as an Assignment in webcourses — will be posted soon.

As always, thank you for using the UCF Libraries’ Information Literacy Modules. We appreciate your continued use and support of these resources.  Please email us infolit@ucf.edu if you have questions, we are happy to help!
