Overview
If your school or district is using NoRedInk with Canvas, this article will answer some common questions you might have.
Canvas integration is currently available for Premium users only. To learn more about NoRedInk Premium, click here.
Why are students missing from NoRedInk Class or Results Page?
If you're not seeing a student listed on your Results Page or in the NoRedInk Class, the student likely still needs to open a NoRedInk assignment from Canvas. Ask students to return to Canvas and open the assignment from their Canvas assignment list.
Once this is done, the student will be automatically enrolled in the correct class in NoRedInk. You’ll be able to see the student’s name in your NoRedInk class or Results Page and the student will be able to see their assignments in Canvas.
đź’ˇOpening assignments from www.noredink.com will not add students to their classes. They need to return to Canvas and open it from there.
How do my Canvas courses and sections get imported into NoRedInk?
NoRedInk classes will be automatically created for each section assigned to a NoRedInk assignment in Canvas.
Student are rostered into their NoRedInk class when they first access a NoRedInk assignment through Canvas for the Canvas course. They are automatically rostered for any future assignments given.
If you give an assignment to an entire course in Canvas, NoRedInk classes will be created for each section within the course.
For assignments created through Canvas, grades will automatically transfer from NoRedInk to Canvas as students complete their assignments.
When you view assignment grades in the Canvas gradebook, keep in mind that there are a few differences in how assignment scores are displayed as students work. The table has information about how to interpret student progress using the gradebook.
| Assignment | When do grades appear in the Canvas gradebook? | How is the assignment scored? |
| Planning Diagnostic | Only when completed | 0 if incomplete, 100% if complete |
| Unit Diagnostic |
Scores appear as students work through the assignment |
Scored based on number of questions answered correctly/total questions |
| Quiz/Growth Quiz |

I reset or modified the score for a student in NoRedInk, but the grades did not get updated in Canvas. What can I do?
We only send grades from NRI to Canvas when there is a new ”submission”. This includes things like students answering a question in a practice, quiz or diagnostic, the teacher manually entering a grade or an automatic grade being given to the student upon the completion of a writing assignment.
If you’d like the reset or modified score to reflect in Canvas immediately, we ask that you do so in Canvas as well. Otherwise the grades will be sent over the next time a “submission” occurs for that assignment.
Can we use Google SSO or Clever SSO to log in to NoRedInk through Canvas?
Yes! When you create an NoRedInk assignment in Canvas as a teacher or open a NoRedInk assignment in Canvas as a student, you will be prompted to either log in or sign up for a NoRedInk account if you're not already logged in.
Depending on how your account was set up, you can log in using an email address or username and a password, log in with an account already linked with Google, or log in with an account already linked with Clever.
Note: Clever rostering will be disabled when teachers log in through Canvas using an existing Clever-linked NoRedInk account. You will be able to continue using Clever single sign-on to log in, but rostering will be done through Canvas.
If you're new to NoRedInk, click "Sign up as a student" (students) or "Sign up as a teacher" (teachers) on the Welcome screen to create an account. On the next screen, choose how you would like to sign up.
Why am I viewing another teacher's NoRedInk account in Canvas (co-teacher)?
If you are being switched to another teacher’s NoRedInk account in Canvas, this means that you've been linked as a co-teacher since the course you are accessing already has a teacher set up as the course’s primary teacher.
You can use NoRedInk through Canvas while accessing the primary teacher’s account as the co-teacher. Any action you take occurs not as yourself but rather as the primary teacher.
The primary teacher is established when a teacher is first to link their NoRedInk account to the Canvas course. Subsequent teachers who link to the Canvas course are added as a co-teacher.
đź’ˇPrimary teachers can remove a co-teacher in their NoRedInk account at anytime. If the previous co-teacher accesses the course from Canvas again, they will be re-added as a co-teacher.
How can I share NoRedInk assignments with other teachers in Canvas?
There are two ways you can share a NoRedInk assignment with other teachers in Canvas.
1. You can share an assignment directly in Canvas. In Canvas, you can share individual assignments in your course with other teachers at your school.
2. You can create an assignment link using NoRedInk and share the link with other teachers.
Other teachers using Canvas can paste the link in the “Use Link” section when creating a NoRedInk assignment in Canvas.
How can I preview NoRedInk assignments as a student in Canvas?
How do I delete my assignment?
To delete an assignment in Canvas, click the more options icon next to an assignment, followed by "Delete".
Note: Deleting an assignment in Canvas does not delete the assignment from NoRedInk. Students will no longer see the assignment listed in their Canvas class, but will see the assignment if they log in to NoRedInk outside of Canvas. To delete the assignment in NoRedInk as well, follow these instructions:
- Open NoRedInk in a new tab.
- Click "My Assignments" at the top of the page.
- Choose the class for which you'd like to delete the assignment.
- Click the "more options" icon next to the assignment, followed by "Delete assignment".
Make sure to navigate back to Canvas after deleting the assignment in NoRedInk!
