In order to associate an AscripticaTM course with a Canvas LMS course all you need is the Canvas LMS Course ID. See below for how to find it and associate it with an Ascriptica course. These instructions assume you have already configured Ascriptica to communicate with Canvas LMS. If you have not done so yet, please see click here.

In addition, Ascriptica allows you to mark registrants complete when a course is concluded in Canvas.

  • Login to your Canvas site using an account with admin rights/privilege

  • Navigate to the course’s home page

  • Tell Ascriptica how often to run for example ever day
  • Tell Ascriptica what time to run. For example 2:00AM.
