Overview
There are several ways to embed and assign Discovery Education resources (assessments, quizzes, videos, images, audio, text, and more) directly into Canvas.
This feature allows you to enrich your assignments with diverse multimedia content for enhanced learning experiences. Students can access Discovery Education content without leaving their Canvas space. For select resources, grade passback and Speedgrader integrations are available in your Canvas gradebook.
You can embed any piece of content from DE's library into Canvas. Here are some ways you can find, organize, and embed the resources you need:
- Assignments and Assessment Builder
- Assignment Link
- Quizzes and Video Quizzes
- Studio Boards, Slideshows, and Quizzes
- Techbook Lessons and Activities
- Student View
- Grading Discovery Education Resources in Canvas
Why Grade Passback May Not Work with Certain Content Types
Grade passback is only supported for assignments created using specific placement tools within the platform. If you're using the Rich Content Editor (RCE) or the Editor Button to create content, grade passback is not expected to function.
To ensure grade passback works as intended, create assignments using one of the following supported placements:
- Assignment Selection
- Link Selection
- Course Assignments Menu
- Module Index Menu Modal
These tools generate resources that are compatible with grade passback functionality.
Note that if you're unsure which placement tool you used, revisit the assignment setup and confirm it was created through one of the supported methods listed above.
