  • State and Common Core Standards are goals objectives for student assessment in the United States. These standards have been created by the nation's governors and educational leaders to assess specific student learning.

    All State Standards added at the account or sub-account levels are available to you as an instructor.

    • Common Core Standards are available for Language Arts, Math, and Science (NGSS)
    • State-specific standards are available for Language Arts, Math, Science, and Social Studies (if imported by your institution)
    • Your Canvas Administrator must import the standards before you can find and import them for a course

     

    State and Common Core Standards imported to the account or sub-account levels can be found within the Account Standards outcome group. However, all Common Core Standards are always available as a separate outcome group for importing.

    If finding an outcome does not display any State or Common Core standards, or if you would like to use non-core standards for subjects such as PE, Health, Art, etc., please contact your Canvas Administrator.

  • When you integrate a student information system (SIS) in Canvas, In courses, only assignments are automatically configured to send grades to the SIS; graded discussions and quizzes have to be configured on a case-by-case basis. However, at the account level, you can configure all assignment types to be sent to your SIS automatically.

    Even after setting all assignments to be sent to the SIS, instructors can still manage assignments in their courses and manually remove individual assignments, graded discussions, or quizzes that they do not want to send to your SIS. Assignments can be managed from the Assignments page and Quizzes page, or they can be managed when creating an SIS assignment, SIS graded discussion, or SIS quiz.

    Note: Student information systems must be configured by your Customer Success Manager. You cannot configure your SIS submissions unless a specific feature option is enabled for your account. Learn more about feature options in the account features lesson.

    In student groups, you can create new conferences, start conferences, and manage concluded conferences.

    Note: Creating a conference is a course permission. If you cannot create a conference, your institution has restricted this feature.
