Before selecting a link to your lesson into Canvas, you will want to decide if you want to collect scores from your students or if you want your lessons to be "practice" lessons and you don't need to collect scores. For each lesson you can decide whether or not to collect scores. Many instructors use both "scored" and "practice" lessons within a course. For details on:

ScoreCenter Overview

When you view your SoftChalk lesson scores within the Canvas gradebook, you are using a SoftChalk feature called the ScoreCenter. In other words, you click on the name for your lesson in the assignments area of Canvas and you see the SoftChalk ScoreCenter interface but all the scores are also "plugged into" the Canvas gradebook. In Canvas, students will also see their grades from SoftChalk lessons as well.
IMPORTANT: To use the ScoreCenter feature, your Canvas administrator needs to configure your system to use this feature. See the section Canvas Administrator.
With the ScoreCenter feature, you can:

  • Determine which score is the grade for the student (i.e. first, highest, most recent or average score). Attempts for all scores are viewable.
  • Determine how many times a student can go into a lesson (unlimited times or a specific number of times).
  • Get detailed scoring information for individual students (i.e. what a student did on an activity and or quiz items).
  • Change scores.
  • Update your lesson in one place (SoftChalk Cloud) and link to it in multiple sections or courses.

Essays

If you use essays in your lesson, you can view the essays within the ScoreCenter area (see the previous section View or Change Scores). Please note the following important information.

...

Anchor
_Hlk27656783
_Hlk27656783

You can modify the score for the lesson based on the points you decide to give to the essay. For example, you may have a lesson worth 100 points including one essay worth 10 points. (You assigned the points for the essay and other items.) Let's say a student completes everything correctly, completes the essay, clicks the Finish button for the essay and then clicks the Finish button on the last page of the lesson to submit his or her score. At this stage, the student has a score of 90 out of 100 because you will need to evaluate the essay and assign points. You can go into the gradebook (i.e. ScoreCenter) and evaluate the essay and modify the score. You may want to provide feedback to the student on the essay by clicking the Feedback button within the attempt.
(You may want to explain the above process to your students; as mentioned, you also have the option to assign 0 points to an essay if you like.)

Non Scored Lessons (Cloud Users)

This section explains how to have your students access "practice" SoftChalk lessons. In other words, you don't plan to collect student scores from these lessons. [You can have items that have points assigned to them within your lesson, but if you want to collect the scores, see the section Scored Lessons (Cloud Users).]

...

At the bottom, click Save & Publish if you are ready for your students to use your lesson (see below). (If you are still working on your lesson, then click Save. Later you can publish the link.)

(FYI, in the Assignments area, there are different icons for published and unpublished items – see below)

Collaborate with Other Instructors on SoftChalk Lessons

You can collaborate with other instructors to create your SoftChalk lessons using a SoftChalk Cloud account (or a trial SoftChalk Cloud account). Within SoftChalk Create, you can publish your lesson to your SoftChalk Cloud account. Another instructor [also using SoftChalk Create and a SoftChalk Cloud account (or a trial SoftChalk Cloud account)] can access and edit the lesson you published.
IMPORTANT: Simultaneous work in the same lesson is not supported. In other words, one person should be working on the lesson at a time. (If two or more people are making changes to the same lesson at the same time and saving the lesson to the Cloud, they may end up overwriting each other's changes.)
For more details, see the section Collaborate with Other Instructors on SoftChalk Lessons in the SoftChalk Cloud
