What's Included in Campus Learning?
Campus Learning Tools for Teachers
Here's a summary of the tools available to teachers as part of a Campus Learning license.
PlannerDisplays teacher's schedule and section curriculum in a date-based view, allowing teachers to view their curriculum plan for a whole week and easily click-and-drag units, lesson plans, and assignments based on a section's progress. Progress MonitorEmpowers standards-based instruction by allowing teachers to view student proficiency at a glance and manage assignments across all standards in a section. Know at a glance how students are doing, who needs attention, and what assignments need to be scored.
Engagement Check-InAllows teachers to check in with students to gauge their well-being and engagement with the class and curriculum. |
Enhanced CurriculumExpands assignments created in Campus far beyond simple dates and scoring alignments:
|
Curriculum LibraryShare curriculum to the library to make it available to other users in the district. Teachers can then add curriculum from the library to their own sections and modify it to fit their needs. With the Curriculum Library District Manager tool right, users in a curriculum director role can add curriculum for teachers to use and help maintain the library. QuizzesCreates robust quizzes to be administered through assignments. Choose from a variety of question types to meet the needs of different classes and subjects. Included in Enhanced Curriculum tool right. Google DriveConnects to your district's Google Apps for Education account and allows teachers to distribute Google files through curriculum. DiscussionsEnables forum-style discussions within sections through Campus Student. Discussions are administered via resources and assignments and can be scored if desired. Included in Enhanced Curriculum tool right. |
Integrating with Digital Learning Partners
A Campus Learning license makes two additional types of integrations available in Digital Learning Applications Configuration.
- OneRoster Roster-Sync - Allows third-party vendors to request section and roster data from Campus. This type of connection is available without Campus Learning.
- OneRoster Grade Book Sync - Allows third-party vendors to request section and roster data from districts and send assignment, score, and grade data.
- LTI - Allows districts to establish connections with other learning tool providers and integrate those tools with assignments. Students access these tools through Campus Student and scores are received if enabled.
Visit infinitecampus.com for a list of current digital learning partners.
Which type of integration is right for my district?
If your teachers manage grading outside of Campus, use a OneRoster connection with Grade Book Sync. This type of integration prevents the need to double-entry of section and roster data, and receives assignment, score, and grade data from an outside program and makes that data available in other areas of Campus, such as through the Campus Student and Campus Parent Portals and report cards and transcripts. |
If your teachers manage grading using Campus but use a third-party program to provide additional resources, use an LTI connection. This type of integration connects resources in a third-party program with individual assignments, which students can launch from assignments in Campus Student. If supported in the third-party program, teachers can score student work in the other program and automatically populate those scores in their Campus Grade Book. |
If your district manages grading using Campus and has Google Apps for Education, use a Google Drive connection. With this type of integration teachers can add Google Drive files to assignments for students to access, students to submit Google Drive files through Campus Student, and teachers can view and score those files without leaving Campus. |

Recent improvements included redesigning the assignment editor. But don't worry, it's the same fields, just in different places. Expand below for a comparison of the old assignment editor and the new one:
What are Resources?
Resources are, essentially, assignments that will not be scored. They allow teachers to share information with parents and students within the context of section curriculum.
When creating an item, toggle Grading on to make it an assignment, or off to make it a resource. Because resources are not scored, they do not display in the Grade Book.
|
Resources can be grouped within whatever folder structure you use to manage your curriculum. Consider creating a Course Resources folder to collect section-wide or often used materials, such as a syllabus.
Content, Details, and Reflections
Assignments and resources are made up of three tabs:
- Content: Information such as Dates, Grading, and the content of the assignment. This article describes this tab.
- Details: Metadata used when sharing curriculum to the Curriculum Library. See the Curriculum Details article for more information.
- Reflections: Records of how curriculum was used in your class. See the Reflections article for more information.
Assignments and Resources
Every assignment or resource needs a Title. Let's walk through each of the sections in the assignment editor:

If Grading is toggled on, you're working on an assignment. If Grading is off, it's a resource. Include in Grade Calculation is marked by default - unmark this checkbox if the assignment will be scored but that score should not be included when calculating grades, such as for a practice test.
The Abbreviation for the assignment populates as you enter a title. The Sequence defaults to 1. Modify if desired, up to 7 digits: XXXXX.XX. The abbreviation is used to identify assignments in the Grade Book and the sequence is used to sort.
Grading alignments display in collapsible sections, with basic information in the heading.
Select a Category for the assignment. Categories are groupings of related assignments, such as Homework or Formative. If Default Scoring options are setup for a category, the Scoring Type, Points, and/or Multiplier may auto-populate based on the category selected. These details are still editable. See the Categories article for more information. Standards and Grading Tasks are item to which grades are posted. The Standard/Task of your current context, such as what's selected in the Grade Book, is selected by default. Only alignments available in your current section display.
Select a Scoring Type to indicate how the assignment will be scored. Options are: |
|
If desired, change the Multiplier if using points or marks, which determines how the assignment affects students' grades. For example, a 50 point assignment with a Multiplier of 2 counts as a 100 point assignment.
Add additional scoring alignments by clicking Add Standard/Task. Multiple alignments are most commonly used in standards-based grading, where a single assignment may demonstrate mastery in multiple standards.
The Add Scoring Rubric button displays for Campus Learning users who have the Enhanced Curriculum tool right. Scoring Rubrics allow teachers to communicate expectations for assignments with students and evaluate how well student work met those expectations. See the Create Scoring Rubrics article for more information. |

Attach Content
Various options may be available in the Attach Content section, based on your district/schools setup. Options include:
Add a Task
Additional tasks can be aligned to an assignment or resource. Check out the following articles for more information:
Individualized Assignments
Individualizing assignments allows teachers to specify which students receive an assignment and each student's Start and End Dates. Assignments can be assigned to select students, as in the case of remedial or advanced work. Start and End Dates can also be individualized to give students the time they need to complete assignments.
Individualize which students should receive an assignment in the Students link in the assignment editor. Users with Campus Learning can also customize Start and End Dates.
Mark the Assigned checkbox for each student who should receive the assignment. Customize Start and End Dates as desired for each student. The Custom Dates checkbox is marked by default if dates are changed. Select a Student Group in the dropdown list at the top to assign students in an existing group.
- Individualized assignments are indicated with a + throughout Campus.
- Scores for individualized assignments calculate towards the grade of the term in which the End Date falls. If a student's End Date falls in Term 4 for an assignment from Term 3, the score contributes to the Term 4 grade.
- A student's individualized dates display in Campus Student and Campus Parent and other student-specific areas of Campus.
- The Start and End Dates in the main assignment editor are not affected by individualized dates. Reports, such as the Section Summary and Student Summary report the end date entered on the assignment editor, not individualized dates.
- Individualized assignments are indicated in the Teaching Center, with each student's end date listed in the scoring area.

Release Scores
The Release Scores option allows teachers to schedule when assignment scores are released to students and parents.
Release Scores is part of the Campus Learning premium offering and requires the Enhanced Curriculum tool right.
Location: Tools throughout Instruction, including Grade Book, Planner > My Curriculum, Assignment Overview and Progress Monitor > Release Scores
The Release Scores process allows teachers to schedule a date at which scores for an assignment will be visible to parents and students. Choosing a date on which scores are released lets teachers score assignments over time without revealing scores until scoring is finished, such as for a test or essay that may take multiple days to score.
The Enhanced Curriculum tool right in Additional Access Rights > Instruction Tools grants access to this option. See the Instruction Tool Rights article for more information.
Even if a release date is set, the Turned In, Missing, and Late flags display for parents and students as soon as the flags are selected and saved so that teachers can still use these flags to communicate information about the assignment even if scores have not been released.
Students and parents receive a notification when the assignment is flagged and a second notification when the score is released. The score date shown is the date the score was released, not the date it was scored.
Set a Release Scores Date
Release Scores settings are found in the Section Settings area of assignments. Leave On Score Save to make scores visible to parents and students as soon as they are saved. To schedule when scores will be made visible to parents and students, enter a Release Scores On date and time. This date must be after the End Date of the assignment.
Once saved, the Release Date entered can be updated if needed. The date and time may be extended to provide more time to score the assignment, or switch to On Score Save if scoring is complete and scores can be released. If the End Date of the assignment is updated to a date after the Release Date, the Release Scores setting will be updated to On Save.
Unreleased assignments display in blue in the Grade Book and Progress Monitor: |
In-Progress Grades/Proficiency Estimates
Wherever In-Progress Grades/Proficiency Estimates are visible in Instruction, such as the Grade Book or Progress Monitor, teachers have the option of including all or only released scores in the calculation.
Click All Scores to see In-Progress Grades/Proficiency Estimates that include all scores, both released and unreleased. Filter to Released Only to see In-Progress Grades/Proficiency Estimates as parents and students do, with only release scores included in the calculation.
Note: these settings only apply to your current view of In-Progress Grades/Proficiency Estimates. Parents and students always see a grade calculated using release scores only.
When posting grades in a section with unreleased scores, a warning displays in the Post Grades screen, but you are not prevented from posting grades. The posted grade includes only released scores. Unreleased scores are not included in the calculation for posted grades. Toggle to Released Only to view the In-Progress Grades/Proficiency Estimates that will be posted.

Add a Web Link
Add a Web Link to call out a specific site with more emphasis that linking it in a Notes or Summary editor. Web links open in a new tab.
For each web link, enter a Title for the link and the URL.
Attach a File
To use this option, your district must enable the Campus Digital Repository and set the appropriate Digital Repository Preferences, which determines the allowed number of files and file size limits.
To attach a file, click the File button and then click and drag a file or click Select File to browse your local drive. Once you select a file the file name and size displays. Leave the Consent checkbox marked to indicate that you are aware of the Acceptable Use Policies of your district and Campus.
You cannot upload files that contain any of the following special characters: | . , [ ] { } ( ) ! ; " * ? < > : / \ Tab, LF, CR . |
Click Upload to add the file to the assignment.
Once uploaded, indicate if the file should be visible to Student & Teachers or to Teachers Only:
Campus acts as only a carrier for attached files - files are downloaded and opened in the program in which they are saved. For example, if a teacher attaches an Excel file, students will need Excel in order to download and view the file. Keep in mind the software programs your students are likely to have when attaching files.
File Types
The following file types cannot be uploaded to an assignment:
Excluded File Types | ||

Attach Google Drive Files
To use this option, your district must configure Campus to connect to a Google Apps for Education account through the Google Drive tool.
If configured by your district, attach Google Drive files to an assignment and resources. Attaching a Google Drive file to an assignment allows students to access it through Campus Student. Teachers can also enable Student Submission of Google Drive files by students.
For example, teachers could attach an essay prompt that students respond to in a separate file, or a worksheet that students can complete and return. Campus uses information about the assignment to control who has access to edit a file during assigning, completing, and scoring the assignment.
Connecting to Your Google Account
Before you can use any of the Drive options in Campus, you must connect your Google account.
- Click the Google Drive button.
- Make sure your Google Apps for Education email address is selected in the top right of the window that displays. If that email address is not an option, click Add Account and log into your Google Apps for Education account.
- Click Allow to connect this Google account with Campus.
Your Campus account and Google Drive account are now connected. At this point, you can select a file to include.
Attaching Google Drive Files
Attach a file to an assignment or resource by selecting Google Drive in the Attach Content section. Your Google Drive account displays, where you can select a file, including a document, sheet, or slide presentation. Each file has unique viewing and sharing preferences.
Attachment Options and Sharing Preferences
When you attach a file, you determine how students will interact with the file and how the file can be shared.
Option | Description |
---|---|
Attachment Options: Determines if students all view a read-only version of the file or if copies are made for each student. | |
Students view this file | Students have read-only access to the attached file. For example, use this option for an essay prompt that students should read and then respond to in a separate file. |
Students make copies of file | When a student clicks the file to open it from the Portal, a copy of the file is made for that student. The name of the copied file is the original file name plus the student's first and last name in parenthesis. Campus creates a file structure and saves the file to the student's Drive account. The file structure is as follows: Infinite Campus Assignments > Calendar Name > Course-Section Number & Course Name > Assignment Name. For example, use this option to distribute a worksheet that students should fill out and return to you. |
Sharing Preferences: Determines how the file can be shared. These options correspond to and update sharing preferences in Google Drive. Default Sharing Preferences apply. | |
Share file with anyone | Anyone who has a direct link to the file can view it. |
Share file with users of [your domain] | All users in the same domain (in this case, your district's Google Apps for Education domain) can open the file from a link. Campus recommends selecting this option. |
Don't share (I will manually manage sharing) | The owner must manually set up sharing settings for the file. Choosing this option requires you to manually share the file with each individual who needs it by adding their email address to the Share list. |
Once these preferences are set for an uploaded file, modify them by clicking the File Options link:
Edit Preferences
Access your Google Drive preferences by clicking Submission in Add a Task and then Edit Preferences. Your Preferences include the following:
Option | Description |
---|---|
Your Teacher Google Account | Shows the Google account you currently have connected to Campus. This is the account that owns turned in files. |

Default sharing settings for Google Drive files attached assignments | The default sharing preference selected for attached assignments. |
Assignment Workflow Example - Who Can Edit?
All of the passing back and forth editing rights for Drive files can be a little confusing. Expand below to view a walk through of who can edit a file when.
Note: You can fully manage editing and sharing rights in Campus. However, updating these rights directly from Google Drive overwrites Campus settings.
The following workflow describes the process of assigning, completing, turning in, and scoring an assignment.
- Teacher creates assignment, attaches a Google Drive file, and enables Add a Task > Submission > Google Drive.
- Student accesses the assignment in the Campus Student through the Calendar, Schedule, or Grades.
- Student clicks link to the Drive file.
- If you selected "Students view this file" for the attachment, the student can only access the file in view only mode.
- If you selected "Students make copies of file" for the attachment, a copy of the file is saved to the student's Drive with the student's first and last name added to the title of the assignment.
- Student creates a separate Drive file in response or modifies the copy.
- Student clicks Attach a Google Drive File and attaches the response file.
As soon as the student clicks Save on the assignment, Campus transfers ownership of the file from the student to the teacher. The teacher is now the owner of the file and the student can only view it in view only mode.
Students can reassign ownership to themselves by deleting the file attachment, as long as the teacher has not marked the assignment as "Turned In."
- Teacher opens Grade Book, expands the Assignment Detail, and clicks Evaluate Work. (See the Submissions and Scoring Submissions articles for more information.)
- Teacher views the file in the scoring screen or clicks the name of the file in the submission list.
Campus creates a file structure for the assignment as follows: Calendar Name > Course-Section Number & Course Name > Assignment Name > Student Name.
- Teacher scores the assignment.
- Teachers can suggest edits to the file by selecting Suggesting instead of Editing in the top right corner of the Drive file. Feedback can be entered in the Google file or in the Teacher Feedback area of the Submissions list.
- Return edit rights to the student so that they can modify a turned in file. From the list in the Submission Scoring screen, mark Edit to return edit rights, or View to revoke those rights. See the Scoring Submissions article for more information.
Attach Learning Tools
To use this option, your district must configure a connection to a specific learning tool partner program through the Digital Learning Applications tool.
Learning Tool connections allow teachers to connect content in a partner program with their assignments. Students open the assignment in Campus Student, launch into the other program from there, and complete their work in the other program (if applicable). Teachers can access the linked assignment in the partner program from the assignment in Campus, where they can review student work and enter scores (if applicable). The partner programs available range from assessment providers, learning management systems, and curriculum tools and are dependent on district setup.
Click Learning Tools and select one of the partner programs configured by your district to launch. Depending on the program and configuration, it may open in a side panel or in a separate browser tab.
The configuration for may learning tools relies the email addresses entered in Campus matching those associated with accounts in the partner program, for both the teacher and students.
Attached learning tools display differently based on the program. For example, a Youtube video displays as embedded in the editor, so that students can view the video without leaving Campus Student. In the example below, a Turnitin assignment displays as a launch link.
For some programs, you have the option to Accept Scores. This checkbox is marked by default for programs that support score passback. If this checkbox is marked, any scores entered in the partner program for the linked assignment will be populated in the grade book.
Note: The Accept Scores checkbox must be marked prior to scoring assignments in the partner program for those scores to display in the Campus Grade Book.
There is some variation between different learning tool programs. Expand a section below to learn more about a few specific providers.
Naiku
Naiku is an assessment provider. Expand for more information:
After selecting Naiku from the Learning Tool list, select and existing assessment or create a new one. A new assessment is aligned when you save it. To add an existing assessment, click the Name of the assessment and then Use this assessment.
If Accept Scores is marked for the assessment in Campus, each student's score displays in the Grade Book once they've taken the assessment. From the assignment detail, click the assessment name to view results in Naiku. Once all students have completed the assessment, close the assessment in Naiku to prevent students from continuing to access it.
Considerations for Using Naiku Assessments
- The Naiku Support Center provides helpful instructions for creating and managing assessments.
- The district must purchase and configure Naiku before assessments can be aligned to assignments.
- The Grade Book must be set up (include Categories and Grade Calc Options) prior to aligning Naiku assessments.
Turnitin
TurnItIn helps teacher detect plagiarism and provides tools for analyzing and providing feedback on student work. Expand for more information:
After selecting Turnitin from the Learning Tool list, Turnitin opens in a separate window. Edit assignment details if desired and close.
To score the assignment, open the assignment in Campus and click the Turnitin link. View the submission in TurnItIn, use TurnItIn's features to analyze and enter feedback, and score there if desired. If Accept Scores is marked for the assignment, the scores entered in Turnitin populate in the Grade Book.
Considerations for Using Turnitin
- All teachers and students must have email addresses entered in Campus to use TurnItIn. The email addresses must match the address attached to their TurnItIn accounts.
- TurnItIn Support provides helpful instructions.
- The district must purchase and configure TurnItIn before assignments can be aligned to TurnItIn.
- When assignments aligned to TurnItIn are copied, a new assignment does not exist in TurnItIn until a teacher or student clicks the TurnItIn link in the copied assignment.
- The Grade Book must be set up (include Categories and Grade Calc Options) prior to aligning TurnItIn.
- TurnItIn cannot be used in Internet Explorer.

- Set up the Section Settings and Grading for the assignment. Keep the following in mind:
- Use the Time fields next to the Start and End Dates of the assignment to control when students can view the quiz, such as only during the class period.
- If your quiz includes Essay/Short Answer questions, you may want to change the Release Scores setting to release on a specific date. Because this question type cannot be auto-scored, the auto-calculated score does not reflect these questions until the teacher has scored them. As a result, the student's score would appear lower than it actually is.
- To administer a quiz that is scored, but does not contribute to student grades (such as a practice quiz), unmark the Include in Grade Calculation checkbox.
- Quizzes can be added to Resources as well, such as a survey or class poll. Toggle Grading off to make the assignment a resource.
- Click Save when finished. Use the View as Student option at the top right of the assignment editor to preview what the quiz looks like for students.

Understand Scoring Setup
When quizzes are scored using points, the Points entered for each question represent the proportion of points possible for the assignment that each question is worth, not the numerical number of points.
Rather than indicating the raw number of points a question is worth, the Points field on each question indicates the weight of the question, relative to the Points set for all of the other questions. |
|
The following examples illustrate the connection between question point values and assignment points possible. |
Questions with the Same Point Values | One Question Worth More than Others | Question Point Values Vary |

Google Drive Setup
From Google Drive, within System Administration, school administrators can configure Google Drive settings and establish Google Drive integration preferences.
Tool Search: Google Drive Configuration
Google Drive integration provides a workflow where teachers can deliver assignments and documents to students and allow students to submit responses back to the teacher. Using Google Drive has a number of advantages over our existing CDR based workflow, such as the ability to use collaboration features and a much higher per user limit on document sizes.
The configuration process requires Campus administrators to extract information from their Google Developer Console and the Google Workspace for Education Domain and input that information into Campus. This article provides you with step-by-step instructions for finding these values.
Use this tool to configure the integration of google drive files with assignments in Campus. Google Workspace for Education can also be added as a Digital Learning Partner through the Digital Learning Applications Configuration tool.
Google Drive Configuration Tab
Read - View configuration tool.
Write - Modify an existing configuration.
Add - N/A
Delete - N/A
To complete these configuration steps, the administrator configuring the Google project needs the following access within the Google Workspace project. Access can be granted by your district's Google administrator:
- admin.google.com > Apps > Additional Google Services > Google Cloud Platform must be enabled (it's enabled by default)
- admin.google.com > Apps > Additional Google Services > Google Cloud Platform > Project Creation Settings > Allow users to create projects must be turned on
Currently, Campus supports Google Workspace for Education accounts with a single domain or multiple domain setup.The legacy option of separate Google Workspace accounts is not supported.
Complete the following steps to set up both single and multiple domain accounts. Additional information for multiple domain accounts is available at the end of the document.
The Campus Digital Repository (CDR) does not need to be enabled to configure Google Drive Integration.
Prior to beginning the configuration process, it may be helpful to collect the following pieces of information to streamline the configuration process:
- District’s Google Workspace For Ed Domain Name
- Admin user login to Google Workspace For Ed Domain (or team up with a District Admin who has this)
- District’s Infinite Campus URL
- District’s Name
As you configure the Google Dev Console, you'll be instructed to collect the following pieces of information from Google that you'll paste into the Google Drive Configuration tool in Campus:
- District’s Google Workspace For Ed Domain Name
- API Key
- OAuth 2.0 Client ID
- The saved P12 file
- Service Account Email
Setup the Google Dev Console
To enable the Google Drive workflow, a project must be created in the Google Developer console. This project needs to be defined per district, because the project’s OAuth credentials specify authorized JavaScript origins (which vary per district) and because Google enforces limits on how many requests each project is allowed to make in a given day. Keeping it district-specific allows more requests for that district.
A Google user must own the project. This user should be a district administrator for the Google Workspace For Ed account. Some screenshots in this document are taken from a demo Google Workspace For Ed domain.
Step 1. Go to the Google Developers Console
The first step is to go to the Google Developer Console and log in: https://console.developers.google.com/start
Step 2. Create a New Project
Create a new project from the Select a project dropdown list found in the upper left-hand corner of the screen. Give your project a meaningful Project Name, which is displayed in the Google Dev Console. Select an Organization and Location. If there is already an existing project, that project's name displays instead of "Select a project". In that case, click the project name dropdown list and select New Project.
Once you click Create, the page should refresh within a few seconds with your project name selected at the top. If you still see "Select a Project", open the dropdown list, select the project you just created, and click Open.
Step 3. Disable Default APIs
In the sidebar on the left, expand APIs & Services and click Enabled APIs & services. The list of Enabled APIs includes several automatically enabled APIs. These are not used for Google Drive integration so they can be ignored or disabled by selecting the entry and clicking Disable API.

Digital Repository Preferences
The Digital Repository provides districts with storage space to save uploaded documents. From Preferences, administrators can set digital repository preferences for the entire school district.
Tool Search: Digital Repository Preferences
Digital Repository Preferences allow you to control which tools have document upload functionality, modify the cache, and limit the file size allowed for uploads. They also provide a detailed breakdown of your district's cost (based on total usage) and a useful pie chart to better understand your district's usage per Infinite Campus location.
TIME-SENSITIVE: With the July 2025 release, the CDR off-premise repository will become the sole option for CDR storage and the current on-premise solution will be deprecated.
Failure to change repositories before the July 2025 release will interrupt your access to CDR features and uploaded files. In this case, CDR will remain inactive until the new terms are accepted.
No action is required if you are a district that participated in the off-premise pilot or first enabled CDR while on Campus.2411 or greater. Switch to CDR Off-Premise
Enable Campus Digital Repository
To begin using Campus Digital Repository functionality, authorized district personnel can select the Enable CDR button.
The Acceptance of CDR editor will appear, requiring you to click View Terms and read all terms and conditions, mark all three checkboxes indicating you agree to each of the terms listed for each checkbox, and select the I Accept button.
Enabling CDR allows your district 1MB of storage space per student at no cost. The student count used is your state-reported student number. Read the Terms of Service to see additional costs for using space beyond your free amount.
Please allow up to 24 hours for your free storage allocation to be calculated.
Understand the Cost Calculation
The Cost Calculation section details your district's current cost per gigabyte per year, your estimated billable usage, your remaining non-billable allotment, your total space usage across all of Infinite Campus, and a display of the calculation (using real-time numbers) of how Infinite Campus determines your Estimated Billable Usage for the year.
Usage by Location
The Usage By Location pie chart displays how much space is being used by uploaded files per area of Infinite Campus. This chart is useful for understanding where the most data is being used and can serve as guidance on potential cleanup when needing to free up space.
File Upload Preferences
The Cache Size is the amount of space available on the district's local repository instance and the setting is used to support system performance. Five GB is the recommended Cache Size, but options are 1, 5, and 10. Contact Infinite Campus Support if your district's needs exceed the allowed amount.
The Max File Size field allows you to control the maximum size allowed per uploaded file. This field allows for a range between 1 - 100mb.
Common File Sizes
The following information can be used as a reference for common file sizes. Files that include images are commonly larger than those that don't.
- 1000 KB = 1 MB

Manage Learning Interoperability Connections
The Learning Interoperability tool allows district administrators to manage and configure OneRoster and Learning Tool Interoperability (LTI) connections.
Full functionality of tool is available as part of the Campus Learning premium offering. Without Campus Learning, districts can only create connections using Roster Sync. All other types of connections require Campus Learning, including Grade Book Sync and Score Passback.
Tool Search: Digital Learning Applications Configuration
The Digital Learning Applications Configuration tool allows districts to configure OneRoster and LTI connections. Each application the district has connected to displays in a tile, with a indicating digital learning partners. Connections to partners are supported by Campus.
The Digital Learning Applications Configuration tool lists Digital Learning Applications that the district has enabled.
Digital Learning Applications Configuration tool rights grant full access to this tool.
What's the difference between LTI and OneRoster?
OneRoster connections allow vendors to request section and roster data from Campus and send assignment, score, and grade data to Campus. LTI connections allow teachers to integrate learning tools with assignments. Students access these tools through Campus Student and scores are received into the Grade Book where available.
LTI connections are used by teachers who manage assignments and grading in Campus. In comparison, OneRoster connections are helpful for teachers who manage assignments and grading outside of Campus; a OneRoster connection with grade book sync brings assignment and score data from an external program into Campus, where grades can be posted to report cards and students and parents can track progress through Campus Student and Campus Parent.
Most vendors offer either LTI or OneRoster connections, but some support both.
What kinds of connections are available?
Click Add Application and select a vendor to see what functions are available for each vendor. Lozenges on the right indicate which functions are available and which have been enabled.
Plain black lozenges indicate available functions; green with a checkmark means the function is enabled for that vendor.
For OneRoster connections, roster sync allows vendors to request section and roster data from Campus. |
For OneRoster connections, grade book sync allows vendor to send assignment and score data to Campus. |
For LTI connections, displays the vendor in the Learning Tools list for teachers, students, and parents (if configured). Specific pieces of content from the partner program can also be aligned to assignments. |
For LTI connections, allows teachers to integrate an assignment in a vendor program with a Campus assignment, score assignments in the vendor program, and have those scores display in their Campus grade book. |
For OneRoster connections, allows vendors to send assessments and assessment scores to Campus. |
What is a "supported" vendor?
Connections to vendors who are part of the Infinite Campus Digital Learning Partner Program are "supported" vendors. Supported connections allow for access to more data, and Campus provides an increased level of support and troubleshooting.
See the Supported and Unsupported Connections article for more information.
I don't see my vendor.
Does your district use an LMS or other vendor who is not part of the Infinite Campus Digital Learning Partner Program? You can create a connection to the vendor, but be aware that Campus does not support these connections; Campus Support will not be able to help troubleshoot. A vendor would also not display in this tool if they were previously a Digital Learning Partner but were removed from the program.
See Connecting to Non-Partner Vendors for more information.
Have a vendor you think Campus should partner with? Share this form with the vendor.
I don't recognize this vendor.
Do you see this vendor in your list? If a district had existing OneRoster connections when Campus released this Learning Interoperability tool, Campus matched connections with recognized vendors based on the name entered by the district. If Campus couldn't determine the vendor based on the name entered, those connections were put here in 'Other OneRoster Provisioning Credentials.
Settings & Management
The Settings and Management panel includes identifying information for your district's instance of Campus in the LTI Settings section.
The OneRoster Settings section includes the following options:
- Use Secondary Email addresses for OneRoster 1.1: Since an email address is required for all students and teachers in a OneRoster connection, this option allows districts to use the Secondary Email entered in Demographics for all user accounts.
- Use Local Grades for OneRoster 1.2: If set to No, the CEDS/NCES grade level that a local grade level is mapped to is returned. If set to Yes, the local grade levels are returned. This option applies to all OneRoster 1.2 connections at the district.
- OneRoster Daily Cache Refresh Time: Users also have the option of setting a different time for the daily cache refresh. By default, a time of 10:10pm is entered. If desired, set a custom time to refresh for your OneRoster connections. Off-peak times are recommended. See the OneRoster API article for more information.
- Last Successful OneRoster Cache Refresh: The date and time of the most recent successful refresh of the cache.
Click Refresh OneRoster Cache to trigger a manual refresh. The refresh begins two minutes after clicking Refresh OneRoster Cache. A refresh cannot be triggered if one is in progress. A process alert is sent when the refresh is complete.
See the OneRoster Cache article for more information about how OneRoster data is cached.
Configuring LTI Connections
This tool is available as part of the Campus Learning premium offering.
Location: Digital Learning Applications Configuration > click a specific application > Add LTI Connection
LTI (Learning Tool Interoperability) connections allow districts to establish connections with other learning tool providers and integrate those tools with assignments.
LTI connections differ from OneRoster connections. OneRoster connections allow applications to request section and roster data from Campus and send assignment, score, and grade data to Campus. LTI connections allow teachers to integrate learning tools with assignments. Students access these tools through Campus Student and scores are received into the Grade Book where available.
Digital Learning Applications Configuration tool rights grant full access to this tool.
Types of LTI Connections
The lozenges at the right of the screen indicate what types of connections are possible for the partner and what which have been enabled by the district.
Connections with enabled display in the Learning Tools list for teachers, students, and parents (if configured). Specific pieces of content from the partner program can also be aligned to assignments.
Connections with enabled allow teachers to integrate an assignment in an external application with a Campus assignment, score assignments in the external application, and have those scores display in their Campus grade book. This type of connection requires an extra level of security. See the More Information about Score Passback section at the end of this article.
Connections with enabled allow teachers to align resources from the application with a Campus assignment, which students can then access through Campus Student.
Connections with enabled allow teachers to embed an image from the application in the Summary of an assignment, which students can then view in Campus Student.
Lozenges that are black without a checkmark indicate that a type of connection is available for the partner but has not been enabled by the district.
Enabling an LTI Connection
Select the partner to enable or click Add Application to select from the list of Campus-supported partners. Expand the LTI Connections section and click Add LTI Connection.
- The Name is specific to the connection, modify if desired. If an application has multiple connections, it may be wise to differentiate the names of the connections.
- The Launch URL and Transfer Email Address setting are populated by default, based on Campus settings. These fields will likely not need to be modified.
- Enter the Key and Secret provided by the partner, which allows Campus users to connect the partner program.
- The button attempts to make a connection with the application using the information provided. Note: the user performing the test should have an email address entered on the Demographics tool to perform the test.
- Modify the Enabled Schools list if desired. All schools are selected by default. Unmark the checkbox next to any schools that shouldn't be included in the connection.
- Mark Allow Campus Parent Portal Access to add the partner to the Learning Tools list in Campus Parent. Only applications marked as Learning Tools can display for parents.
- The Advanced Settings area includes multiple configuration sections. Data populates in these sections as applicable for the application. Users should not need to modify these values at this time.
- Click Save when finished and Close to return to the partner.
Give teachers tool rights to External Learning Tools to grant access to LTI tools.
Enabling Multiple Connections for an Application
An application may have multiple connections, such as if the high schools and middle schools in a district are using different connection data. To add additional connections, click Add LTI Connection from the application page. Give each connection a unique name; by default, connection names are iterated numerically.
Each school can only have one connection per provider. When adding an additional connection, and schools selected in existing connections are not listed in the new connection.
Restore Defaults
Click Restore Defaults to restore fields to the default options provided by Campus.
More Information about Score Passback
- Only assignments scored using points can use score passback functionality. Assignments scored using marks or rubrics should not use this option.
- Most applications make the connection between the teacher in Campus and the user of the external application based on the email address entered in Demographics.
- Scores are received from the external application as percentages. The student's numerical score is then calculated using that percentage and the Points Possible entered on the assignment in Campus.

Configuring OneRoster Connections
This tool is available as part of the Campus Learning premium offering.
Location: Digital Learning Applications Configuration > click a specific application > Add OneRoster Connection
OneRoster connections allow outside programs to request roster and section data from Campus and, if enabled, send assignment and score data back through the OneRoster API. These connections are helpful for users who manage assignments and grading outside of Campus, but use Campus as the source of truth for report cards and transcripts, and use the Campus Student and Campus Parent Portals to communicate with students and parents.
Digital Learning Applications Configuration tool rights grant full access to this tool.
Types of OneRoster Connections
The lozenges at the right of the screen indicate what functions are available for the partner and what functions have been enabled by the district.
Lozenges indicate available and enabled functions.
Vendors with enabled can request section and roster data from Campus.
Vendors with enabled can send assignment and score data to Campus. This type of connection includes roster sync by default.
Vendors with enabled can send assessments and assessment scores to Campus. This type of connection includes roster sync by default.
Lozenges that are black without a checkmark indicate that a function that is available for the vendor but has not been enabled by the district.
1.1 Versus 1.2
OneRoster connections can be made through the 1.1 or 1.2 version of the OneRoster specification.
Connections to 1.2 are available on a vendor-by-vendor basis as partners implement this new version of the specification. Campus encourages districts to contact the vendors they use to inquire about 1.2 implementation timelines.
What's new with 1.2?
OneRoster 1.2 includes:
- The option to scope connections by a specific school. As described below, a vendor connection scoped to a single school or set of schools limits the roster and section data available to that vendor to only data for those schools. This option is also available for connections using OneRoster 1.1 and OAuth 2.0. Connections should be scoped to specific schools only as required by a vendor.
- Streamlined reception of assignments and scores, requiring less teacher effort. Because categories and grading tasks are included in the 1.2 version of the specification, teacher are no longer required to categorize and align assignments received through a OneRoster connection.
Enabling a OneRoster Connection to a Partner
To enable a connection, select the application from the Digital Learning Applications Configuration tool or click Add Application to select from the list of Campus-supported partners. To add an additional connection to an application that has existing connections, open the application and click Generate New OneRoster Connection.
In the pop up that displays, select the appropriate option based on the version of the OneRoster specification and the version of OAuth used by your vendor. Verify with your vendor to make sure you're selecting the correct option. Connections using OAuth 1.0 are no longer supported and can no longer be created or enabled. See the OneRoster Migration Instructions article for more information.
Once the version is selected, the Edit OneRoster Connection displays. The options on this screen vary based on the versions of OneRoster and OAuth selected.
- If desired, modify the Name of the connection. This option is helpful if your district has multiple schools connected to the same vendor - each school can have their own connection.
- Mark the lozenges for which Data to Share, Assessments, Demographics, and/or Grade Book.
- Assessment data can be received from select vendors (OneRoster 1.2 only). Select this option to allow the vendor to send assessment scores to Campus.
- Demographics data can be shared if using OAuth 2. This data is not shared by default. Enable this option to share this data with the vendor. Consult district guidelines concerning data protection and FERPA before sharing this data.
- Grade Book data is enabled by default. Disable if desired.
- Copy all fields in the Information to Share section and share them with your vendor to allow them to connect to your district's instance of Campus. Fields in this section differ based on which version of OAuth the connection is using. See the OneRoster API for more information that may be useful to send.
- Consult Troubleshooting Documentation as needed. For OneRoster 1.1 connections, a link to the REST Documentation Client is available. For 1.2 connections, links to the Rostering API Documentation and Gradebook API documentation are provided. These provide documentation for the API and allow users to review endpoints and retrieved data for troubleshooting and verification purposes.
More about OneRoster 1.1
When teacher receive assignments through a 1.1 connection, they must select categories and grading alignments for those assignments so that grades can be reported. The Uncategorized Assignments and Non-Campus Assignment Defaults article provides instructions to teachers for completing this process. |
Additional Information
Below the Information to Share and Troubleshooting Documentation are three sections of additional information and options. View this information when you create the connection, or click the Edit button for a specific connection.
Connection Configuration
The Connections Configuration section includes the following options for further manage data in the OneRoster API:
1.1 Connections | 1.2 Connections |
---|---|
|
|
Enabled Schools
If using OneRoster 1.2 or OneRoster 1.1 with OAuth 2, the connection can be scoped by school. By default, connections are scoped to all schools in the district. If directed by your vendor, mark Use School Scoping and select which school should be included in the connection.
To disable School Scoping, unmark the Use School Scoping checkbox and click Save.
Legacy Configuration
This section includes stores legacy configuration that is no longer used for this connection.
Disable versus Delete
There are three ways to stop a connection:
Disable a connection to stop the flow of data to and from Campus until the connection is re-enabled. |
Remove credentials to remove connections using that Key and Secret. To reconnect, generate new credentials and share them with the vendor. |
Delete a connection to remove all connections to that vendor. To reconnect, click Add Application and start over. |
Connecting to Non-Partner Vendors
Districts have the option of connecting to vendors who are not part of the Infinite Campus Digital Learning Partner Program. Be aware that Campus does not support these connections; Campus Support will not be able to help troubleshoot.
is not available for non-partner vendors. Additionally, lozenges do not display indicating what functions are available.
- Click Add Application, then scroll to the bottom and click Connect to Other Applications.
- Enter an Application Name. The image displayed in the vendor is the first letter of the entered name.
- Generate credentials and share them with the vendor to connect.
Use caution when sharing student data with vendors that may not meet Campus's data security standards.
Have a vendor you think Campus should partner with? Share this form with the vendor.
Considerations for Using Grade Book Sync
- Data received from vendors is the responsibility of the district, not Infinite Campus.
- For synced assignments, the Digital Learning Partner is the "source of truth." Modifying assignments or scores in your Campus Grade Book after syncing with the partner is not recommended as changes will be overwritten with the next sync. Instead, make changes in the partner program so that the correct data will sync with Campus.
- For term grades, Campus is the "source of truth." Campus recommends that districts using score passback from a vendor system turn off grade calculations in the vendor program. Students and parents should access In-Progress and Posted Grades only from Campus sources.
- When syncing assignments and scores with Campus, the best practice is that all in-progress and posted grade calculations be performed in Campus instead of in the partner system. Campus is the district's system of record for grades, which are used in multiple ways throughout Campus, including report cards, transcripts, and GPA calculations.
- In Campus, assignments must have a Points Possible value that is whole number. Currently, assignments received from a partner that have a Points Possible value with a decimal point are rounded down.
- In Campus, assignments cannot be assigned and due at the exact same date and time. If an assignment received via OneRoster has identical Assigned and Due date/times, one minute is subtracted from the Assigned time.
- Aligning assignments to Categories and Grading Tasks:
- If the partner is on a OneRoster version of 1.1, teachers must align assignments received from the partner. This can be done individually using the Uncategorized Assignments list or aligned automatically to a single category and task using the Non-Campus Assignment Defaults tool in Grade Book Settings. See the Uncategorized Assignments and Non-Campus Assignment Defaults article for more information.
- If the partner is on a OneRoster version of 1.2, teachers no longer need to align assignments, as long as the partner has implemented the category and grading task syncing capabilities available in 1.2. To sync categories and grading tasks, first set them up in Campus so they can sync to the partner program and use them for grading in the partner program. Assuming the partner has implemented category and task syncing, assignments will be received into campus with the category and grading task auto-aligned.
- The OneRoster specification currently does not support standards-based grading when using assignment and score sync. Assignments can only be aligned to one task or standard and scores can only be entered as numerical values, rather than the rubric-style scoring commonly used in a standards-based setup.
- Assignment Due Dates must fall within the Term Dates of the section in Campus. Even if a student is given an extension to turn in an assignment in the partner program, the due date must still be on or before the end date of the section in Campus.
- Assignment Multipliers (a.k.a. Assignment Factors) - The OneRoster specification does not support syncing multipliers between systems. Campus recommends that teachers adjust total points in the partner system rather than using multipliers for synced assignments. Alternately, once an assignment has been received into Campus, teachers can update the Multiplier on the Campus assignment to match the one entered in the partner program and it will not be overwritten.
- In Campus, In-Progress Grades are calculated every 5 minutes to account for newly-imported assignments and scores.
Considerations for Using Assessments Sync
- Assessment connections are only available with OneRoster 1.2.
- Data received from vendors is the responsibility of the district, not Infinite Campus.
- In the OneRoster API, assessments are returned in the LineItems endpoint and scores are returned in the Results endpoint. Data included in the rostering endpoints is also available for assessment vendors.
- Note: Because rostering endpoints are restricted to students enrolled in the current school year, assessment data can also only be returned for current year students. The OneRoster API cannot be used to import historical assessment data.
- Campus recommends that vendors sync parent assessment data first, followed by child assessments and then scores.
- Assessment data imported via the OneRoster API can be edited in Campus, but those changes will be overwritten if data is resynced.
- Imported assessments and scores are visible in the student's Assessment tool. Imported assessments are also added to the assessment list in Test Setup. Imported assessments are not currently differentiated from Campus-created ones in the UI, although there is a database indicator at the assessment level (Test.addedByVendor).

From here, select an existing student group or use the Assigned checkboxes to indicate which students should be assigned. All students not assigned will be marked as Exempt on the assignment. Campus Learning customers can also individualize dates for students. See the Individualized Assignments section for more information. | |
The Release Scores setting determines when an assignment's score will be visible to parents and students. Leave the On Score Save option selected to keep scores visible as soon as they are entered. Or select a date for Release Scores On to schedule when scores will be made available to parents and students. This date must be after the End Date entered for the assignment. See the Release Scores article for more information about this option. |
Grading
If Grading is toggled on, you're working on an assignment. If Grading is off, it's a resource. Include in Grade Calculation is marked by default - unmark this checkbox if the assignment will be scored but that score should not be included when calculating grades, such as for a practice test.
The Abbreviation for the assignment populates as you enter a title. The Sequence defaults to 1. Modify if desired, up to 7 digits: XXXXX.XX. The abbreviation is used to identify assignments in the Grade Book and the sequence is used to sort.
Grading alignments display in collapsible sections, with basic information in the heading.
Select a Category for the assignment. Categories are groupings of related assignments, such as Homework or Formative. If Default Scoring options are setup for a category, the Scoring Type, Points, and/or Multiplier may auto-populate based on the category selected. These details are still editable. See the Categories article for more information. Standards and Grading Tasks are item to which grades are posted. The Standard/Task of your current context, such as what's selected in the Grade Book, is selected by default. Only alignments available in your current section display.
Select a Scoring Type to indicate how the assignment will be scored. Options are: |

Individualized Assignments
Individualizing assignments allows teachers to specify which students receive an assignment and each student's Start and End Dates. Assignments can be assigned to select students, as in the case of remedial or advanced work. Start and End Dates can also be individualized to give students the time they need to complete assignments.
Individualize which students should receive an assignment in the Students link in the assignment editor. Users with Campus Learning can also customize Start and End Dates.
Mark the Assigned checkbox for each student who should receive the assignment. Customize Start and End Dates as desired for each student. The Custom Dates checkbox is marked by default if dates are changed. Select a Student Group in the dropdown list at the top to assign students in an existing group.
- Individualized assignments are indicated with a + throughout Campus.
- Scores for individualized assignments calculate towards the grade of the term in which the End Date falls. If a student's End Date falls in Term 4 for an assignment from Term 3, the score contributes to the Term 4 grade.
- A student's individualized dates display in Campus Student and Campus Parent and other student-specific areas of Campus.
- The Start and End Dates in the main assignment editor are not affected by individualized dates. Reports, such as the Section Summary and Student Summary report the end date entered on the assignment editor, not individualized dates.
- Individualized assignments are indicated in the Teaching Center, with each student's end date listed in the scoring area.

Appendix A: Score Flags
The following table describes the effect of marking a flag for an assignment:
Abbreviation | Description | Additional Logic |
---|---|---|
T | Turned In | If you mark an assignment as Turned In and then as Missing, the Turned In flag is removed. Assignments which are enabled for Submission through Campus Student are closed for submission when the Turned In flag is marked. Assignments are flagged as Turned In when a student submits work through Campus Student. To allow students to resubmit an assignment, remove the Turned In flag. |
M | Missing | The logic of the Missing flag is dependent on whether a Missing Assignment Percentage is entered by your district. If the district has not set a calculation, the Missing flag is an indicator only; flagged assignments CAN be scored. If the district has set the flag to auto-calculate and entered a Missing Assignment Percentage, flagged assignments calculate as the entered percentage of Total Points for assignments scored using Points or Marks. Hover over the score field to see the calculated score. In this instance, a score cannot be entered if the Missing flag is selected. Score are not auto-calculated for assignments scored using Rubrics. If you mark an assignment as Missing and then as Turned In, the Missing flag is removed. If the missing flag is set to auto-calculate, when calculating a Proficiency Estimate via Mode of a limited number of assignments, if any of those assignments are marked as Missing, the Proficiency Estimate will not calculate. How do I know what my district has set? Can you enter a score for a missing assignment? If so, no calculation has been set. If you cannot enter a score, hover over the score field to see the calculated score. For example, if a district has set the missing flag as 25%, a 20 point assignment calculates as 5 points. |
L | Late | N/A |
I | Incomplete | When calculating a Proficiency Estimate via Mode of 3 or Mode of 5, if any of the 3 or 5 scores are marked as Incomplete, the Proficiency Estimate will not calculate. |
Ch | Cheated | Score appears stricken-through. Scores with the cheated flag automatically calculate as zero. When calculating a Proficiency Estimate via Mode of 3 or Mode of 5, if any of the 3 or 5 scores are marked as Cheated, the Proficiency Estimate will not calculate. |
X | Exempt | Score appears stricken-through. The grid of scores flagged as Exempt appear in grey. Exempted assignments do not display in student and parent views. When calculating a Proficiency Estimate via Mode of 3 or Mode of 5, if any of the 3 or 5 scores are marked as Exempt, the Proficiency Estimate will not calculate. |
Dr | Dropped | Dropped scores are not included in In Progress grade calculations. The Drop Lowest Score option can be set for categories to automatically mark the lowest score in the category as dropped. |
- | - | A small gray square displays in the bottom left corner of the score grid if the student was not rostered into the section on the due date of the assignment. |
Typing the flag Abbreviation into the score grid sets that flag, unless the abbreviation is a valid Assignment Mark or Rubric score. If you clear the abbreviation and move to a different cell, a message appears asking if you want to clear any flags on the score. However, replacing the abbreviation with a score does not remove the flag.

Scoring Rubric
Create Scoring Rubrics
Scoring Rubrics allow teachers to communicate criteria and expectations with students and can be used to evaluate student performance.
Scoring Rubrics are available as part of the Campus Learning premium offering and require the Enhanced Curriculum tool right.
Location: Anywhere you view assignments, such as Grade Book > open an assignment > Scoring Rubric
Scoring Rubrics allow teachers to communicate expectations for assignments with students and evaluate how well student work met those expectations.
Scoring rubrics are aligned to assignments and can be added to any new or existing assignments. See the Assignments & Resources article for more information about assignments.
Add and manage the scoring rubric below the Grading section of the assignment.
The Enhanced Curriculum tool right in Additional Access Rights > Instruction Tools grants access to this option. See the Instruction Tool Rights article for more information.
Scoring rubrics can be used for assignments aligned to grading tasks or standards and can be scored using points, marks, or rubrics. Options are different based on the scoring type selected.
When creating a new rubric, a separate grid displays for each grading alignment. Add additional criteria rows and columns as desired. Each grid begins with the grading task or standard. Remove or reorder grids or rows using the X and arrows. Click to change the alignment for a section of the scoring rubric.
The basic elements of scoring rubrics are:
- Criteria form the rows of a scoring rubric. Often, criteria represent the types of skills demonstrated for the assignment. For example, a scoring rubric used to evaluate an essay may include criteria for argument, style, grammar, and structure.
- Score thresholds form the columns of scoring rubrics. Columns may correspond to specific rubric/mark scores or a certain percentage of points possible. For example, an assignment scored with a rubric with three values, P: Proficient, I: Improving and N: Not Proficient, would have three score columns, one for each score.
- Remaining cells describe the quality of work required to earn a score for that criteria. Cells in a scoring rubric often provide clear, applicable descriptions that help students understand expectations and help teachers score student work consistently. A cell must have text in it to be able to select it when scoring.
Rubrics and Marks
When using rubrics for a scoring rubric, rubric scores populate in each column (defaults to 4 columns, add more as desired). Each column must have a score selected and a scoring rubric cannot have more columns than there are scores possible.
The bottom row of each grid is populated with the description of each score. When scoring, teachers select the score based on the the other grid cells selected; this bottom row select is the score that displays in the grade book.
Points
When using points for a scoring rubric, each criteria is given a point value. The total of all values in the points column must equal the points possible for the assignment, shown in the total at the bottom. An additional Feedback column displays to the right of the grid, which includes the points earned out of possible for that row and any teacher comments.
The Total displays at the bottom right of the grid, which is the score that displays in the grade book for the alignment.
Scoring rubrics using points have the option to Auto-Calculate scores. When this checkbox is marked, a Percent value displays for each column. When a scoring rubric cell is selected when scoring, the percent of points possible for that row is calculated and shown in the feedback column.
If Auto-Calculate is not marked, teachers manually enter the points earned for each row in the Feedback column.
Reusing Scoring Rubrics
To use a scoring rubric on another assignment:
- Within a section, duplicate the assignment and modify the copy. (Duplicate an Assignment)
- Across sections and/or terms, copy the assignment and modify the copy. (Copying Curriculum)
