How do I create a Canvas assignment from an existing Mastery Connect assessment?
If your institution uses Canvas LMS, you can link an existing Mastery Tracker to a Canvas course. Once this connection is made you can access your Mastery Tracker in your Canvas course, which includes mastery data, assessments built with third-party item banks, and tools to support competency-based learning.
Existing Mastery Trackers may already contain Mastery Connect assessments. You can create a linked Canvas assignment from a Mastery Connect assessment that came with the tracker using the process outlined in this guide.
