If your institution uses Canvas LMS, you can move a mastery tracker from a past course to a new course. Once connected, the migrated mastery tracker will display in the new Canvas course and the tracker will no longer be linked to the original course. Active Canvas assignments from the previous course that were linked to the tracker will remain in the original Canvas course assignment list, but will not be available to administer, and grade passback will no longer be available.
Notes:
- Scored Mastery Connect assessments in an existing tracker are not automatically imported into the Canvas course.
- To link a mastery tracker to a Canvas course, your Instructure Customer Success Manager (CSM) must first set up an LTI connection between your instances of Canvas and Mastery Connect. If you do not see the Mastery Tracker link in your Canvas Course Navigation, contact your CSM.
- To link to an existing tracker from Canvas, your Canvas and Mastery Connect accounts must be synced via a Student Information System (SIS)
- To link correctly to a Canvas course, the existing tracker must be assigned to a classroom section in Mastery Connect.
- If you edit your Mastery Tracker or your current Canvas course, the tracker and course will automatically sync overnight. If the tracker and course need to sync immediately, you can sync them manually.
