Kyron Learning passes completion status to Canvas. We will send an update to Canvas each time a learner completes an activity, and we submit the assignment for the learner when all activities are completed.
Make sure your institution has followed the steps from our LTI 1.3 Setup on Canvas document to ensure you can receive the data.
When you create an assignment using a Kyron Asset in Canvas, you can choose one of three grading options:
Required for points – Students earn points that count toward their final grade.
Complete/Incomplete – Students receive credit based on completion status only.
Points, not included in final grade – Students earn points that do not affect their overall course grade.
For more information on creating assignments, refer to this collection of articles.
Required for Points
If you want learners to:
Earn full points by completing all activities in a Kyron Asset
Receive partial credit for partial completion
Have the points count towards the final grade
Select the Points option when creating your assignment.
A dash will be shown when a learner starts an asset, but has not yet completed any activities.
Once the asset is fully completed, the learner should see they’ve received full points. They will also see the date and time in which they completed the Kyron asset.
Note: If a learner clicks “Submit Module” before completing all of the activities within the module, the score that populates will appropriately reflect how much of the module they completed.
In the grading example below, the learner completed 2 out of 3 activities.
Complete/Incomplete
If you want learners to:
Use Kyron assets as a resource, but don’t necessarily care how much of the resource they utilize
Have the asset count towards the final grade
Use the Complete/Incomplete option when creating your assignment.
A dash will be shown when a learner starts an asset, but has not yet completed any activities.
Once the learner has completed all the activities in an asset, the date and time in which they finished will appear in the Submitted column.
Note: If a learner clicks “Submit Module” before completing all of the activities within the module, the check mark will still appear. There will not be an indication of how many activities were actually completed.
Points, not included in the final grade
If you want to:
Track a learner’s progress in the gradebook without affecting their overall grade
Select the Points option when creating your assignment. Then, check the box labeled “Do not count this assignment toward the final grade.”
A dash will be shown when a learner starts an asset, but has not yet completed any activities.
Once the asset is fully completed, the learner should see they’ve received full points. They will also see the date and time in which they completed the Kyron asset.
Note: If a learner clicks “Submit Module” before completing all of the activities within the module, the score that populates will appropriately reflect how much of the module they completed.
In the grading example below, the learner completed 2 out of 3 activities.
