Syncing Rosters and Setting Grading Configurations in Canvas
Sync your course roster and set grading preferences for activities like participation, attendance, and correctness.
Poll Everywhere’s integration with Canvas allows you to sync your course roster and configure grading preferences for activities like participation, attendance, and correctness.
Note: You can create multiple grading configurations to support different types of assignments or participation metrics. Changes made to grading configurations do not retroactively apply to already-synced assignments. Be sure to set this up before syncing grades.
Step by step
- Open Courses and select your course.
- On the Overview tab:
- Default grading configuration: pick a configuration, or select Configure to create or edit one ("Set a default grading configuration for all new assignments in this course.").
- Sync history: see each roster sync (for example Roster sync completed successfully, with Added / Updated / Removed counts), who initiated it and when.
- The roster syncs automatically from your LMS. See members on the Roster tab.

The same steps apply to every supported LMS (Canvas, D2L Brightspace, Blackboard and Moodle).
