Guide. - Collect scores using the SoftChalk ScoreCenter Feature. Grades from your SoftChalk lessons can appear within the gradebook of your learning management system.
...
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:

Basic Procedures
IMPORTANT: Within your lesson in SoftChalk Create, be sure to assign points to each QuizPopper and Activity. (In the main editing window of your SoftChalk lesson, right-click on the QuizPopper or Activity and choose Modify QuizPopper or Modify Activity. Go to the Options tab and use the Points dropdown menu to assign points.)
To have your student scores appear within the Canvas gradebook area (i.e. ScoreCenter interface), you need to:
...
- At the left, click Assignments (see below). If Assignments happens to be gray, that is because you have not yet entered an assignment but you can still click on Assignments to enter a new assignment.) IMPORTANT: If you put the SoftChalk content into another area such as Modules, the scores will NOT integrate with the Canvas gradebook.
...
- For the Type, select External Tool from the dropdown menu. Enter a Name. IMPORTANT: In the points area, enter the total number of points for the lesson (see below). Then click More Options.
...
To test out the lesson, you need to be logged into your course as a student.

- The SoftChalk ScoreCenter screen appears. In the Learner area, click the dropdown menu for the attempts for a specific student. Click on an attempt (see below). As previously mentioned, IMPORTANT: Be sure to LOG OUT of your SoftChalk Cloud account when you are taking your lesson as a student to test out the ScoreCenter feature. If you are logged into your SoftChalk Cloud account while also logged into Canvas and taking a lesson, then the scores won't be recorded. If you have exited your browser, you may still be logged into SoftChalk Cloud, so please go to SoftChalk Cloud and see if you are logged in.
...
- If you need to change the Score for the Attempt, click Change Score for Attempt. Enter a new score and click Submit (see below). IMPORTANT: An attempt has to be complete before you can change the score.
...
You have the option to complete all attempts for all students for a lesson. You may find that your students have neglected to complete their attempts (i.e. they have neglected to click Finish on the last page of the lesson – clicking Finish sends a completion status to the gradebook).
IMPORTANT: You may want to do this procedure after the availability of your lesson has expired. After you do this procedure, future attempts can be incomplete.
IMPORTANT: This procedure cannot be undone. (You can change individual scores or re-open individual attempts if you need to.)
...
If you go to the Gradebook area in Canvas, you can see that the scores from your lessons (using the LTI Link and external tool – see the previous sections Paste the LTI Link into Canvas and Set the Grading Method and Maximum Attempts) appear in your Canvas Gradebook. (If you want to view or change scores for individual student attempts, see the section View or Change Scores.)

If you used the LTI Link or Hyperlink to your SoftChalk Cloud lesson, then you can easily edit your lesson within your SoftChalk Cloud account. (You don't have to paste in a new LTI Link or Hyperlink; simply edit your current lesson in SoftChalk Cloud and the LTI Link or Hyperlink for this lesson will still work.)
IMPORTANT: If you edit a lesson that has scored items and you have pasted an LTI Link for this lesson into Canvas, we recommend the scoring for your lesson remain the same if students have started taking this lesson.
...
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.)
