Things to consider before using the External Tool.
- Students are automatically registered through the External Tool.
- Students no longer must be registered through iCEVonline.com (iCEV).
- Individual teachers should opt to use either iCEV or the External Tool; not both.
- If the External Tool will be used and iCEV has been used; please hide all the lessons in iCEV.
- This will minimize confusion of the students.
- This will make it easier to find the students’ grades.
- The External Tool and iCEV are two different accounts.
- Settings changed in one account do not affect the other account and vice-versa.
- NOTE: When students send their work; they are shown a “Detailed Summary” page.
- This page shows the question, their answer, and the correct answer.
- This page cannot be turned off or hidden.
- This page also acts as a receipt; it is a confirmation that iCEV has received the submission, graded the submission, and sent the grade back to Canvas.
- This page shows the question, their answer, and the correct answer.
- Grades will only show in the Canvas gradebook while the External Tool is being used.
- Grades are no longer available through the iCEV Course / Lesson Grades reporting tool.
- The “Highest” scored grade will be passed back to the Canvas gradebook.

What does "There was a problem authenticating your organization." mean?
Typically, that error message appears when either the consumer key or the shared secret; that were provided to the external tool are incorrect.
Please verify that the consumer key and shared secret were entered correctly and that there are no leading spaces before or after the consumer key or shared secret.
What does “Couldn’t find valid settings for this link.” mean?
The External Tool needs to be updated. Add login.icevonline.com to the Domain field.
How does grade pass back work?
1. Student submits a student interactive assignment.
2. The submission is graded.
3. Student is shown the “Detailed Summary Page.”
4. If the grade is higher than the earlier submission; this grade is sent to the gradebook.
5. We send the grade to the Canvas gradebook (5) five times.
6. Canvas will automatically convert our 100-point scale score to the point value you entered while setting up the Canvas external tool assignment point value.
Some student grades are missing, what can be done?
1. Have the student go back to the assignment that is missing the grade
2. Have the student click the text that says “Summary”
a. This will re-trigger, the grade pass back for this student and assignment
3. Students may have to do this a few times
All student grades are zero (0), what can be done?
1. Make certain that the point value assigned to the Canvas external tool assignment is something other than zero (0)
Grades are not showing under the correct assignment in the Canvas Gradebook.
Most likely this scenario has happened:
1. The student opens Assignment “A” and tries few questions.
2. The student then opens another Assignment “B” in new window on same browser.
3. The student finally moves back to Assignment “A” window and attempts / sends the assignment.
In this scenario, scores will appear under Assignment “B” rather than Assignment A because scores are sent back for the last opened assignment (Assignment “B” in this case) on the browser as the session is updated.
How can I see when grades were received by the Canvas Gradebook?
Gradebook History shows as grades are coming in; under "Grader” anywhere “Not Available” is visible; that is Canvas receiving the grade from iCEV or any other external tools being used.
Please review this resource:
https://community.Canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-view-the-history-of-all-grading-changes-in-the/ta-p/783
Where is the “Detailed Summary” page? I could see this page in iCEVonline.com
This page is only shown to the student. This page cannot be turned off or hidden from the student.
Teachers do not have access or the ability to disable this page when using the External Tool.
This page is receipt for the student.
When the page is displayed the following has happened:
1. The submission was successfully sent for grading
2. The submission was successfully graded
3. The grade along with the correct answers is shown
4. The grade has been submitted to the Canvas Gradebook five (5) times
