Canvas Integration Guide
Connect iCEV curriculum, assignments, and gradebook data to your district's Canvas environment through an LTI 1.1 or LTI 1.3 integration.
Before getting started: Student licenses must be purchased to use the external tool. Please share iCEV's system requirements with your technology department.
- Cartridge files cannot be shared. Each file is tied to an individual teacher’s iCEV account and course. If you’re using Canvas integration, every teacher must generate their own cartridge with their own iCEV account.
- Student licenses and teacher accounts must be purchased to use the integration.
Things to consider before using the integration
- Multiple internet filters and firewalls.
- Different settings for wired and wireless technology devices.
- Software on technology devices that act as an internet filter or firewall.
- Students are automatically registered through the integration.
- Please do not register students through iCEV.
- Students will roster back to the iCEV account and iCEV course the common cartridge gets created.
- Grades will be visible in both iCEV and the integration's gradebook.
- The “Highest” scored grade will be passed back to the integration gradebook.

Note on LMS Grade Passback
- Assessments taken using LTI 1.1 require the same 1.1 configuration to remain active to perform grade passback for those assessments
- New assessments taken using LTI 1.3 require the same 1.3 LTI configuration they were completed with to continue to properly perform grade passback
- Deactivating, disabling, or removing the LTI configuration an assessment was taken with will likely prevent grade passback from working

- Go to the Course
- Go to Module
- Look at the assignment that is reflecting all zeros (0)
- Double-check the point value for the Canvas external tool assignment and that the value is something other than zero (0). If it is set to zero (0), set the point value to something different and have the students re-submit the assignment. Have the students follow the directions in “Some student grades are missing what can be done?”
- Have the student go back to the assignment that is missing the grade.
- Have the student click the text that says Summary.
Most likely this scenario has happened:
- The student opens Assignment “A” and tries a few questions.
- The student then opens Assignment “B” in a new tab or window on the same browser.
- The student moves back to Assignment “A” and sends the assignment.
In this scenario, scores will appear under Assignment “B” rather than Assignment “A” because scores are sent back for the last opened assignment (Assignment “B” in this case) on the browser as the session is updated.
The External Tool needs to be updated. Add login.icevonline.com to the Domain field.
- Go into the Course
- Click Grades
- Wait for the gradebook to appear
- Click Gradebook
- Click Gradebook History
- Gradebook History shows as grades are coming in. Under Grader, anywhere Not Available is visible.
That is Canvas receiving the grade from iCEV or any other external tools being used. - For further information, please review this resource:
Canvas - How do I view the history of all grading changes in the Gradebook?
