Teacher In Classroom

Instructors log in to Canvas the first time they access the Connector. Once the initial connection is made, the instructor links a class from Canvas to Remark. Student rosters are imported automatically at the connection time. Class rosters can be resynced at any time to accommodate new students in a class or to remove students who dropped a class.

For tests, instructors create a graded quiz in Canvas and then link it to a Remark test. If linked, graded data is synchronized for this test with the click of a button. Or, if desired, any changes to the test grades are automatically sent to the Canvas gradebook!
