Student Learning & Licensure's (SL&L) LTI 1.3 integration supports an optional "grade return" feature that allows the score submitted in SL&L to be sent to the gradebook in your Learning Management System (LMS). This article will walk you through the process of setting up a SL&L template and activity for grade return.
Creating a template
- To begin, go to the Template tab in your administrator or faculty account and click Create Template
- Enter a title for the template, select a workflow, and click Next
*Please note: In order for grade return to work there must be a submission from the student. This means that you cannot use grade return with observational workflows.
- In the Assessment Panel on the right side of the page, add a Scoring component
- Choose a Scoring Method
- Manual Score: the owner of the component will input the score
- Auto Score: the score will be automatically calculated by adding all component scores (scoring must be enabled for at least 1 Submission Input, Question, or Reference component in the template)
- Enter the maximum number of Points
- Click the Set as primary score checkbox
- Click Save
- Add any other desired components to the template and click Save
