canvas-rubric-filler

Given a properly-formatted csv file, post rubric entries to Canvas gradebook.

Usage

The Canvas-filler is designed to be as user-friendly as possible. It needs several pieces of information to function:

1. canvas_key
   • if the script finds CANVAS_KEY in your environment, this argument is not expected.
2. canvas_url
   • if the script finds CANVAS_URL in your environment, this argument is not expected.
3. course_id
4. assignment_id
5. student_rubric_values.csv
   • if this is omitted, the script will print the expected headers for the csv file.

python filler.py [canvas_key] [canvas_url] course_id assignment_id [student_rubric_values.csv]

Data

The headers of the csv should be:

note: if you simply run the script without student_rubric_values.csv, it will print the expected headers automatically

1. SID
   • THIS IS THE STUDENT'S NUMERICAL CANVAS ID, which you can get from a canvas gradebook export.
2. ...The Rubric Criteria IDs
   • these can come from the rubric page. e.g. https://canvas.jmu.edu/courses/1584732/rubrics/687658 inspect the table to get the criteria ids $(".criterion:not(.blank, #criterion_1)").map((i,e)=>e.id.substring("criterion_".length))
