Syncing Assessment Data to Canvas

This article will go through the steps to sync Assessment data into your Canvas portal. This article assumes your Canvas account is already connected to your PaperScorer account. If you haven't already connected your two accounts, please read our help documentation on how to connect your Canvas account to your PaperScorer account.

From the dashboard, click on the Assessments main navigation option.

After clicking on the assessment main navigation option, you will be taken to your list of available assessments within the PaperScorer platform. Identify the assessment you want to sync. Once you have identified the assessment you want to sync, click on the action menu for that assessment. From the action menu click on the Sync data option. The sync data option will only be visible if the assessment has scanned sheets associated to it.

After selecting the data sync option from the assessment action menu dropdown, you will be presented with another modal to select a method for syncing data to an assignment. Select the Canvas sync option. (You may see additional options in the screenshot below.)

After clicking on the Canvas sync option, you should see a list of available classes that you can sync with PaperScorer data.

From the active class list, select the class you want to perform a data sync with PaperScorer data. Once you select a class, you will be taken to another view to select an assignment.

On this view, you have 2 options for proceeding to the confirmation step of the data sync process:

1. Select an Existing Assignment: If you see a list of assignment that have been previously created through the PaperScorer interface, use the select button to proceed to the confirmation step.
2. Creating a New Assignment: If you want to create a new assignment, fill out the title form field and click the continue button to proceed to the confirmation step.

If you selected the wrong class, click on the Back button to move to the previous select a class step.

Once you are on the confirmation step, please review all the information and make sure it is correct. We will show you the assessment data we are syncing, the class that contains the assignment and the assignment we are syncing. If everything looks good, click on the Continue button to complete the data sync request. If something doesn't look right, click on the Back button to move to the previous select an assignment step.

The completed view will show you the progress of the sync job. You do not have to stay on this view and the view can be closed out. You will also receive an alert when the data sync process is done.
