Remark Link to Canvas for Common Exams

Last Updated

Remark Test Grading integrates seamlessly with Canvas LMS, enabling instructors to link their Canvas courses and automatically sync student rosters and grades. This integration streamlines the creation and grading of paper-based exams in Remark, with results easily transferred back to Canvas. This guide walks you through linking a Canvas course to Remark so that a common exam can be copied to your account for efficient grading and reporting.

  3. Click Update Course Details.
