Before pasting 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:

• Scored lessons, see the section Scored Lessons (Cloud Users). (While your preferred method would probably be to collect student scores in the Canvas gradebook, you can also collect emails from students and have students print certificates. See the section Print or Email Scores.)
• Non scored lessons, see the section Non Scored Lessons (Cloud Users).

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.

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:

• Save your lesson into your SoftChalk Cloud account (see the section Save a Lesson or Course to the Cloud in the SoftChalk Cloud Guide).
• Use the SoftChalk Link Selector Tool to add your SoftChalk Cloud lesson.
• Set the Grading Method and Maximum Attempts for each lesson (see the section Set the Grading Method and Maximum Attempts).
• View or change your students' scores (see the section View or Change Scores).
• If you plan to collect and/or score essays, see the section Essays.

Scored Lesson Using SoftChalk Selector

1. Log into your Canvas account and choose your course (see below).

...

1. 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.

...

1. 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.

...

1. Be sure to see the next section Set the Grading Method and Maximum Attempts.

If you do not see the SoftChalk Link Selector tool, your Canvas administrator may not have enabled this feature. However, the administrator may have enabled the LTI/ScoreCenter feature within your LMS. Please see the below FAQ if you are unable to use the Link Selector tool.

All the student attempts will be collected and you can view all the attempts for each student for each lesson. You can change the grading method and maximum attempts at any point. If you want to allow your students only one attempt for the lesson, you need to set that option right away.

1. 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.

...

1. Notice that you also have the option to Complete an attempt (see below). If a student starts a lesson but neglects to click the Finish button at the end of the lesson, then that attempt is incomplete. An incomplete attempt does not count as part of the grade calculation. You can cause the attempt to be completed so that the score for the attempt is part of the grade calculation.

Complete All Attempts for All Students for a Lesson

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.)

1. Log into your Canvas account and choose your course.
2. Go to the area where you have your content or assignments.
3. Click on the name of your lesson.
4. Click Complete All Attempts and Complete All Attempts (see below).

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.

...

You can modify the grade 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 under the Options tab 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.)

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.

2. Click My Content/My Lessons and Courses.
3. Open the folder that contains your lesson. Click on the name of your lesson.
4. Scroll down to the bottom right under Lesson Actions and click Edit Lesson in SoftChalk Create.
5. Make changes and choose File/Save to SoftChalk Cloud. (If you click the Save icon, you are saving your lesson temporarily to your local computer.)

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.)
