TLDR;
When using grade passback between Canvas and an SIS, differentiated assignments don't passback at all. This is not in the best interest of teachers and students and needs to work.
Full Description
We have started using SIStemic for passback to our SIS and the process is an improvement for teachers putting the timing in their hands. The glaring shortcoming is that if "Everyone" or "Everyone else" isn't a part of the Assigned To for the assignment, it's not a part of the passback. Differentiation is important in education which makes passing differentiated assignments important for an LMS.
Until this works, it dissuades teachers from differentiation due to the path of least resistance being to not differentiate at all. It takes extra work to set up a course with effective differentiated assignments. Let's not have additional hurdles for teachers to use those best practices.
