After teachers import their classes to Actively Learn from Canvas, assignments can be synced with Canvas. Any assignment assigned in Actively Learn can now be selected and synced to Canvas.

After syncing the assignments, teachers can update the details of their assignments, such as the due date or changing the points an assignment is worth, within Canvas.

Note: If you change the points an assignment is worth in Canvas, you’ll need to re-sync the grades from Actively Learn to Canvas for that assignment to see the updated grade calculation.
