Use Pressbooks Results with your LMS for Grade Passback
Use Pressbooks Results with your LMS for Grade Passback
Add a Graded Assignment to the LMS
📌 Requirements: Enterprise Network with a configured LTI connection and Pressbooks Results activated. To find out whether your network is ready for grade passback, contact your network manager.
Once a chapter has been configured as a graded assignment, it can be added to your LMS (Canvas, Moodle, Blackboard, or D2L Brightspace). Checking at least one H5P activity for inclusion in scoring in a given chapter leads that chapter to be designated as an assignment when brought in to your LMS.
❗️If you have an existing LMS course using Pressbooks Results that you’d like to copy to a new course for a new term, this is possible. You can simply copy the course in your LMS without taking further action. There are only two exceptions: 1) chapters where all gradable activities have since been removed, or 2) chapters that previously weren’t graded assignments where gradable activities have since been included, need to be brought in again via the Content Selector (as discussed in this chapter).
Canvas
Add Pressbooks chapters as Modules
Pressbooks content is added to your course as Modules. You can create a new Module or you can add Pressbooks content to an existing module.
- Navigate to the module you want to add the Pressbooks content to.
- Click the + sign on the right side of the module.
The Add Item to Module popup will appear.
- From the dropdown menu, select External tool.
A list of tools will appear. - Click the tool (likely named Pressbooks Content Selector but possibly given a different name) associated with your Pressbooks network.
The table of contents for every book from your Pressbooks network that you belong to as a user will appear.
(Note: if you see no books to select from here, that means your user account in Pressbooks does not belong to any books. If you expect to be a user in a book but it doesn’t appear for selection, please contact your network manager.) While Pressbooks Results is enabled on your network, if you have chapters in a book that include one or more H5P activities included for scoring, the chapters will be labelled as graded assignments in the content selector (as opposed to linked resources). - Click the book title to select a particular book to bring in. Or click the chapter titles, if you’re looking to bring in certain chapters from a book.
- (Recommended) Click Pressbooks Results Viewer at the top of the Content Selector in order to bring it into your course.
- Click the Select Content button.
✔️ If you selected multiple items to bring in, they have now been imported into your course. - If you selected only one item to bring in, click the Add Item to complete import.
✔️ You’ve successfully brought your Pressbooks material into your course.
In addition to being added to the Modules view, graded assignments in Canvas are automatically added to the Assignments view, and they have a line item created in the Canvas gradebook in Grades. Onc
