To sync grades, your Kritik course must be connected to your LMS course. To connect your courses, see our How to link Kritik to a course in your LMS page.
How to use Grade Sync:
Navigate to the ‘Grade Sync’ icon on the left navigation menu
Instructors can either download an export of the grade book or export all student Creations
Instructors can also either sync activity grades or the overall grades with the LMS course grade book
Once synced, grades will appear under columns in instructors' LMS grade books
Syncing the activity score:
Select the ‘By Activity’ option
All completed activities will appear
Create a new LMS column under the LMS Columns section for each activity you need to sync scores for
By default, the column is set to 100 points, but it can be adjusted to match the weight specified by you during the syncing process.
Select the grey sync icon to the left. The icon will then appear blue, indicating the activity is ready to be synced.
Select ‘Sync Activities’
Note: This process is immediate and without delay. Once completing this step, refresh your LMS grades page to view the synced scores.
Note: When using the grade sync function, LMS activities will not appear in Kritik within the column drop downs. This means that to sync student grades, new columns will always need to be created in the drop downs.
Syncing the overall score:
Select the ‘No Breakdown’ option
Navigate to the LMS Columns section
Create a new column for the LMS gradebook to update.
By default, the column is set to 100 points, but it can be adjusted to match the weight specified by the you during the syncing process.
If you wish to customize this weight, the students' scores would be transformed to match that weight in the LMS gradebook column. For example if you choose to set a weight of 10, a student that received 90/100 would show as 9/10 in the LMS gradebook column.
Select ‘Sync scores’ to initiate the sync
Note: This process is immediate and without delay. Once completing this step, refresh your LMS grades page to view the synced scores.
