The ScoreShare Story: How & why we used Canvas as a data source to build an application for our advisors

ScoreShare is a tool that provides academic advisors with student assignment performance data to better inform their decision-making processes and streamline advising sessions. We (UCI’s Academic Web Technologies team) partnered with academic advising units around campus to design and pilot ScoreShare in 2017.

In this session, we will share our experience building a web application that relies on assignment and grade data from Canvas, as well as the challenges in combining this with data from our legacy learning management system.

We will also provide background about the tool, why we built it, and our process for designing the tool in partnership with our advisors.
