Sync Grades to LMS

Introduction

Your students are now in your LMS-linked class, and they have answered several of the activities you created or reused in GradeChum.

Instead of typing those scores into your LMS one by one, you can send every GradeChum grade of the class to your Canvas, Moodle or Blackboard class at once. GradeChum runs the sync in the background and tells you which activities made it to your LMS.

In this guide, you will sync your students' grades to your LMS.

Steps

Note: You must have already linked your GradeChum class to an LMS class, and the class must have students in its class record. Syncing is only available on classes you own, not on classes another teacher shared with you.

To sync the grades of your class to your LMS, follow these instructions:

  1. After logging in, go to My classes and click the card of your LMS-linked class.
  1. Click the Class Record tab. Under Class record, the Sync grades button sits above the table. While GradeChum checks the last sync, the button reads Checking... for a moment.
  1. Click Sync grades. The Sync grades? modal warns that syncing overwrites the grades of all your GradeChum activities in your LMS. Click Sync now to start, or Cancel to go back without syncing.
  1. Once the sync starts, "Running in background. Syncing in progress" shows beside the button with a percentage that updates every few seconds. Sync grades stays disabled until the sync finishes.
  1. Once syncing is done, Last sync beside the button shows the date and time of this sync, with how many activities synced, and how many failed if any did. Hover over a count to see the names of those activities.
  1. Finally, open your class in your LMS (Canvas, Moodle or Blackboard). Your students' grades from GradeChum now show there, along with the activities they came from.

Note: On a phone, Sync grades is a round button with only the sync icon. It works the same way.

If some activities failed to sync

When Last sync shows a red count such as "2 failed", hover over it. The tooltip lists the Failed activities: and asks you to contact customer support.

  1. Check that your students have joined your class in GradeChum and have connected their accounts to your school's LMS.
  2. Check that each failed activity shows "LMS status: Linked" on its card in the Activities tab (see below).
  3. Click Sync grades and Sync now again.

If the same activities still fail, contact us at info@gradechum.com and name the class and the activities from the tooltip.

If an activity is not in your LMS

In an LMS-linked class, every activity card in the Activities tab shows its LMS status. A green "LMS status: Linked" means the activity is in your LMS class. A red "LMS status: Link failed." means GradeChum could not add the activity to your LMS, so its grades have nowhere to go.

  1. Click Retry on the card. A spinner shows while GradeChum tries again.
  2. If "Successfully linked activity to the LMS." shows, the card turns to "LMS status: Linked", and you can sync your grades.
  3. If "Failed to link activity to the LMS. Please contact support if the issue persists." shows, try again later or contact us at info@gradechum.com.

And that's how you sync your students' grades to your LMS! Next, let's read the LMS integration FAQs.
