Resync Outcomes to LMS Gradebook is a feature that ensures seamless synchronization between the results of activities performed within Annoto and the Learning Management System's (LMS) gradebook.

This function helps educators automatically update student grades based on their engagement, quiz completion, and other interactive actions within videos, minimizing manual grading efforts.

By keeping the LMS gradebook continuously up-to-date, the feature supports efficient tracking of student progress and improves accuracy in reporting, fostering a more streamlined workflow for instructors.

Ensure the following before using the Resync Outcomes in the LMS Gradebook.

• Multiple attempts are not set in the LMS, For Example, In the LMS (e.g. Canvas) assignment, it should be set to "Unlimited." Learners will not be able to redo the assignment or retake the quiz an unlimited number of times because Annoto is managing the retries, and the LMS (e.g. Canvas) settings do not affect this activity.

• Make sure the Assignment Due Date has not passed.

• When creating In-Video Quizzes for a video source or entry, make sure that this video is not used elsewhere in the course. Using the same video in different contexts can lead to students answering quizzes outside of the intended assignment context, such as on a simple page that is not connected to or defined as an assignment. Consequently, their results may not sync properly. This can create conflicts when using In-Video Quizzes and trying to resync the results with the gradebook.
