Once you have collected some activity results from students, you can export those results to Canvas. You can initiate this flow from the Canvas module, from the Poll Everywhere participants page, or from a Poll Everywhere report. Each report you export will create a single grade column in Canvas, regardless of the number of activities in the report. Poll Everywhere Gradebook reports can either be exported as a graded assessment or for participation.
If you are exporting a report starting with the Canvas module, click through the module you created in the ‘Connecting your course to Poll Everywhere’ section and jump to Step 3.
If you are starting from a specific Gradebook report in Poll Everywhere, jump to step 5.
- Start on the Participants page and select the LMS Course link.
- On the LMS Courses page, select the course for which you want to create a Gradebook.
- From this page you can create a new Gradebook report, or choose a Gradebook that you have already created for this LMS course.
Note: You cannot edit the activities within a Gradebook report, but choosing a previously created report will allow you to update and re-export the results.
- Adding a new Gradebook will put you into the report creation flow. In the side panel, select the Gradebook report and then the activities you wish to include in your report.
- Review the Gradebook report, and click the Export button at the bottom right when you are ready to export the grades to Canvas.
Note: The name of your report will be the name assumed by the grade column in Canvas. You can rename your report by clicking on the ‘Rename’ link next to the title at the top of the report.
- When you click the export button, you will see a popup that will either ask you to confirm the LMS course, or select the course to export the report to from a dropdown menu. Additionally, you will have the option to export the report as Grades or Participation. Make your selections, then click Next.
- The following pop-up will now filter the report by the participants in your LMS Course and start the export. You should then see a message indicating that the export has completed and is processing in the background.
- Once the export is complete, head back over to Canvas and click into your Grades center to verify that the new Gradebook column was created.
- Please note: If you change the name of the gradebook report in Poll Everywhere and re-export, it will update the name of the assignment in Canvas. Additionally, if you change the assignment name or grades in Canvas, it will revert back to the name and grades in Poll Everywhere when you re-export the report to Canvas. For this reason, we recommend not making changes to the Canvas gradebook aer you export a gradebook report from Poll Everywhere.
