| + | ===== Setting everything up ===== | ||
| + | Once your WeBWorK course has been created with Canvas integration enabled, you will need to set some things up in Canvas and in WeBWorK. | ||
| - | Once your WeBWorK course has been created with Canvas integration enabled, you will need to do the following: | + | === Create a generic link from your Canvas course to your WeBWorK course === |
| - | === General course setup === | + | - From the "Assignments" tool in your Canvas course, create a new assignment. |
| + | - The "Assignment Name" can be whatever you want; for example, "WeBWorK". | ||
| + | - Set "Submission Type" to "External Tool". | ||
| + | - For "External Tool URL", enter a link to your WeBWorK course. You should have received this link from Leng; it should be of the form <code> https://webwork.math.ucdavis.edu/webwork2/[course-name]/</code> | ||
| + | - Check the box labeled "Load This Tool In A New Tab". | ||
| + | - This assignment is not a real assignment; it's just a link to your WeBWorK course. Therefore: | ||
| + | - Set "Points" to 0. | ||
| + | - Check the box labeled "Do not count this assignment towards the final grade". | ||
| + | - Set "Allowed Attempts" to "Unlimited". | ||
| + | - Leave the "Due", "Available from", and "Until" dates empty. | ||
| + | - Save the assignment; whether you publish it for students to see is up to you (see Student navigation to WeBWorK, below). | ||
| + | - Now you can click on this assignment to get to your WeBWorK course. | ||

| - Set "Allowed Attempts" to "Unlimited". This does not affect the number of attempts per problem in WeBWorK, but rather controls how many times students can "submit" the assignment in Canvas itself. (Since students won't actually submit anything in Canvas for this assignment, it's unclear whether "Allowed Attempts" has any effect at all, but at least setting it to "Unlimited" has no unexpected ill effects.) | - Set "Allowed Attempts" to "Unlimited".

| - [Suggested] Set a due date. This is not linked to the due date in WeBWorK; if you change the due date in WeBWorK you'll have to change this one manually.

| + | === Student navigation to WeBWorK === | ||
| + | |||
| + | * You now have several links from Canvas to WeBWorK: | ||
| + | * One generic link | ||
| + | * Many assignment-specific links | ||
| + | * Instructors and TAs can use any link at any time. | ||
| + | * Students must use the assignment-specific link in order to open each WeBWorK problem set for the **first** time. After that, they can use any link and navigate within WeBWorK as usual. | ||
| + | * In order to simplify things for students, you could choose to leave the generic link unpublished in Canvas. | ||
