eLumen Integration with Canvas

The instructions below show faculty how to move SLOs and their accompanying rubrics from eLumen to Canvas, grade assessments in Canvas, then import assessment scores into eLumen. 

Faculty who have discipline coordinator access in eLumen can synchronize SLOs and rubrics. Faculty who don't have that access will have to wait for the coordinators to do so before grading and importing scores.

Preparing the Integration (Discipline Coordinators Only)

1.  Log into eLumen with your W number and password.
2. Choose Discipline Coordinator from the drop-down next to your name at the top left. Make sure your discipline is selected in the drop-down next to that.
3. Select SLOs & Assessments - SLO Listing - then the CSLO subtab (the latter two should occur by default).
4. Select CSLO Synchronization at the top of the course box. All of your SLOs will be sent to Canvas; you can’t choose specific ones.
   
   
   

5. Click the radio button for Las Positas College main account, then click Send Outcomes.
   

Integration Within Canvas (All Faculty)

1. Go to your course in Canvas.
   

2.  Click Outcomes in the course navigation menu.
   

3. Click the Find button.
   
   
   
4. Open the following folders: Account Standards, Las Positas College, the name of your discipline, the name of your course.
   
   
   
   
   
5. Click the first outcome, then click Import at the bottom to move it into the class. Click OK in the dialog box that pops up. Repeat for the rest of the outcomes. Outcomes have to be imported one at a time.
   
   
   
6. Create an assignment in Canvas. When creating the assignment, do NOT choose External Tool for Submission Type. Save or Save and Publish the assignment.
7. On the next screen, click Add Rubric.
   
   
   
8. Delete the default rubric by clicking the Trash icon.
   
   
   
9. Click Find Outcome.
   
   
   
10. Select your outcome, then click Import at the bottom. Your rubric is attached to the outcome. Click OK in the dialog box that pops up. 
    
11. Check the box in front of Use this rubric for assignment grading, then click Create Rubric.
    
    
    
12. A dialog box pops up, asking if you want to change the assignment points to match the rubric. Since most assignments won't be worth 4 points, click Leave different. 
    

Grading in Canvas (All Faculty)

1. Go to the SpeedGrader for the first student, and click View Rubric.
2. Score the student by clicking in the appropriate ratings box. That same number of points shows in the Pts box. You will change the student's total score after giving any feedback and clicking Save.
   
   
   
3. In the Grade box under Assessment, change the student's total score to whatever the rubric score equates to. In this example, the rubric score of 3 out of 4 equates to a total score of 8 out of 10. Click Submit. The total score of 8 gets recorded into the Canvas gradebook. The rubric score of 3 will be sent to eLumen.
   
   
   
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 above for the rest of the students.

1. Log into eLumen as faculty.
2. Navigate to the course for which scores are to be imported (you might see it by default). If an assessment hasn't already been created for the SLO you have scored, you will need to add an assessment.

4. Make sure your course is selected from the Select a Course drop-down. If you want to confirm your rubric scores for the students, click the click the + sign next to the assignment. When confirmed, click Import these Scores.
