Assessment LTI

 

 

Overview

The Outcome Assessment LTI is an app to simplify the collection and assessment of student work samples within Canvas. Within the app, it provides users the ability to collect assessment objects from Canvas and assigns these assignments to a course assessor. All of these course submissions are submitted by “Assessment Users.”

Locating Assessment Shell Courses

Once the batch has completed, you can navigate to the sub account named “UW Assessments.”

You will see all the names of the course shells that were created. E.g; If I named the course shell “Steven Tyler’s Shell Course” you will see a course shell within that sub account. You can also navigate to these courses by ltering all courses by the “Assessment Term.”
