Sign up or log in to NoRedInk
Teachers and students must sign up and log into NoRedInk directly through Canvas. This is to ensure that users are connecting the correct accounts and help avoid rostering issues.
Roster Creation
Roster creation in NoRedInk using Canvas is a two-step process, with both steps needing to be completed for a student to be rostered:
- The teacher must create an assignment via Canvas utilizing the external tool option and assign the assignment in Canvas.
- The student must access the assignment via Canvas and either sign up for or log into an existing NoRedInk account to automatically join their class.
Depending on the class setup within Canvas and how that data is sent to NoRedInk, the teacher who creates an assignment and has a student access the assignment first becomes the primary teacher for that course. All subsequent teachers in that course become secondary teachers and must utilize our co-teaching feature to see their rosters.
Roster Management
Our integration with Canvas will both add and remove students who have been moved around on your rosters. Teachers' rosters are automatically updated the next time a student accesses a NoRedInk assignment through Canvas.
Gradebook Sync
Our integration with Canvas supports passing the grade for an assignment completed via the integration to the Canvas grade book. The following help documents outline the supported assignment types and when and how the grade is sent to Canvas.
Demographic Data Syncing
Demographic data syncing is not shared when integrating with Canvas.
Student Grade Level Syncing
Class and student grade levels are not shared between Canvas and NoRedInk. Teachers will need to manually add their grade levels to their classes on their Manage Classes page.
Co-Teacher Support
Canvas co-teachers are automatically added to the specific class they assist with once they connect and begin syncing Canvas with NoRedInk.
