Can I Feed One Gradebook Into Another

[msUSC]

I have two courses, A: Spring Wrap and B: Spring Course.

When a student has successfully completed B: Spring Course, I want their successful completion of the entire course or a specific assignment to automatically (or, if necessary, upon being triggered manually) inform the course A: Spring Wrap. I want a column in A: Spring Wrap to be checked off, indicating that B: Spring Course was successfully done.

Basically, I want information from one course's gradebook (or one course's assignment) to be fed into another course's gradebook (or assignment) automatically. Is that possible?

Hi @msUSC,

I don't think you're going to find an automatic way of doing this built into Canvas, probably due to privacy rules in place at many schools/institutions (or even countries as a whole).  This could probably be something that a scheduled script could use the Canvas API to accomplish, though it would not be a trivial task, and you'd probably want to consult with your local Canvas team to see if it's something they'd support or caution against.

I hope this info helps a bit, even if it's not the answer you were hoping to get.
