Limitations

  • One spreadsheet is required for each Canvas course.
  • Each spreadsheet, after setup, will have a capacity for 200 students and 50 assignments.
  • You will need to perform a one-time step of renaming all of your students in Khan Academy. This is due to the fact that Khan Academy provides no data integration tools. This takes approximately 15-30 minutes.
  • You cannot create Canvas assignments through this spreadsheet. The assignments must be created and published in Canvas already.
  • If you have assigned a Khan Academy assignment more than once, it will only recognize the most recent instance.
  • When scores are sent to Canvas it is not automatic. Additionally, if your course has a lot of students and/or assignments, you may need to manually resume sending scores (due to limitations with Google).
  • You MUST have an account for the destination Canvas installation with the appropriate rights to score assignments.
  • Your assignments in Canvas MUST have a due date specified in them or they will not show up. This is due to how it handles missing assignments when sending them to Canvas. As of right now, even if you don’t mark assignments as missing, you are still required to have a due date in Canvas.
  • Your assignments in Canvas should be set as “No Submission” assignments otherwise Canvas will mark them as missing regardless of whether a score was uploaded.

What Others Are Saying

Do you use Khan Academy and Canvas? If so, this program is a must have! Josh has created a great program that uploads grades from Khan directly to Canvas. I have been using Khan for over 5 years and the issue has always been the time it takes to transfer it over to your gradebook, especially when a student makes up an assignment or redoes it for a higher score. This program solves that problem with a few clicks.
