Adding Summit K12 Content to a Canvas Course
1. Add Summit K12 content to any existing module in your Canvas course. If you do not have any modules yet, you can add a module by selecting + Module at the top of the page
2. Name the module. For example, you can name it Dynamic Science 3rd or TELPAS Readiness 12th. Select Add Module to save.
The module should appear on your course page.
3. To deploy Summit K12 content, select the three dots at the top right of the module to open a menu of options. Select LMS24 Summit K12.
4. Use the Filter Class Grade dropdown menu to choose a grade.
5. Choose the Summit K12 program* that will be used with this Canvas course.
(Optional) Use the Filter Subject dropdown menu to filter by subject.
*Available programs will depend on subscriptions purchased.
6. Select the checkbox under Add to course next to the Summit K12 activity you would like to assign and deploy to this Canvas course.
Add to gradebook will pass student grades back to your Canvas gradebook. This automatically applies after choosing an activity to add to your Canvas course but can be unchecked if desired.
Grade passback functionality will vary depending on the subject and type of activity that is deployed. Because of the unique way activities are designed on Summit K12, it is recommended to use Summit K12 reports to get the most robust view of your students’ progress.
Dynamic Science and Dynamic Spanish Science
- A complete/incomplete will be given for deployed rows that only contain an e-book, simulation, or video.
- Only the grade for the last activity will pass back for rows where the order is enforced.
An average of the completed activities will be given for deployed rows whose activities are optional for completion. - Benchmark assessments will pass back a single grade.
Connect to Literacy for English Language Development (ELD)
- Item type READINESS quizzes will pass back grades when deployed.
- Benchmark assessments will pass back a single grade.
- All other content can be deployed, but will not include the Add to gradebook option at this time.
7. Select Add content at the bottom of the table.
8. Publish the module and any corresponding Summit K12 assignments students can begin accessing. Assignments are only visible to students once they are published.
If you only want Single Sign-On (SSO) functionality, select the checkbox for the entire Summit K12 course instead of a single assignment before selecting Add content.
This will create a link students can use to automatically sign in to Summit K12 through Canvas without needing additional Summit K12 login credentials.
Using Summit K12 Content in Canvas and Grade Passback
1. Teachers and students can launch any deployed assignment by clicking the link in their Canvas course. Users will automatically be signed into their Summit K12 account.
If your student accounts still need to be created, see Adding Additional Students to Summit K12 or contact your district’s IT/Tech Dept for rostering assistance.
2. Students can then complete the Summit K12 assignment directly in Canvas.
3. Grades for each student will be passed back to the Canvas Gradebook once they have completed the activity.
Accessing Summit K12 Teacher Resources on Canvas
Teachers with an active Summit K12 account are granted access to instructional resources that can be used to support your Summit K12 implementation. Key features will vary according to your Summit K12 program but may include lessons, study guides, graphic organizers, parent letters, and more.
1. We recommend teachers create a new, unpublished module to organize their instructional resources.
2. Add items from Teacher Resources to this module before selecting Add content.
3. Select the deployed content to access your resources directly within Canvas*.
*Items should remain unpublished as they are for teacher use only. When items from Teacher Resources are published and visible to students in their Canvas course, student attempts to access content will result in an error.
