Padlet Grade Passback to Canvas

Set up Grade Passback

  1. Add your board to an assignment

To access the Gradebook on Padlet, you would need to first add your board to an assignment on Canvas (LMS).

Please refer to the following articles on how to do so: Canvas Links to an external site.

  1. Go back to your Padlet board

After a board has been added to Canvas, head back to your Padlet board on your Padlet for Schools account and click the three-dot ellipsis button (...) found on the right side. Then, select Gradebook.

If you are unable to see this option, please refresh the page.

Gradebook Menu

On this menu, you will see several options:

  • Max score: Set the maximum score attainable for each post.
  • Grade calculation: Choose to grade using the Average score or Highest score.

Using the Average score is most useful for peer-to-peer grading, where multiple scores may be given to the same post.

Using the Highest score is most useful for teacher-to-student grading, where only one final score will be given to a post.

  • Sync grades to LMS: Sync grades from Padlet to Canvas assignment.
We recommend keeping this toggle OFF until grades are finalized as each grade update will initiate an email to all students affected.
  • Grades: Leave additional feedback and final grading.
Students will have to be signed in when commenting on the board for grades to be synced to the correct student account. Anonymous contributions cannot be graded.
