Hello in this video you will learn how to embed your Lucid designs into Canvas so that students can interact with them in the form of an assignment. Here on my Lucid homepage I have a couple of Lucid Spark documents that I have created. I'm going to be using this one in our example for today. This is a sorting activity that I prepared for a Spanish class, so basically I'm going to have students drag the correct icon over into the box that is represented with the correct Spanish word. Now I want to see what each student can do with this. I do not want to use this as a collaborative whole-class activity, so I'm going to show you how you can bring this into Canvas so that each student has their own individual activity to create and then how you can see your student progress and student performance on this assignment back in Lucid. So I'm going to toggle over to a Canvas course that I have and I'm going to create an assignment and I'm just going to call this Lucid test. I would put the instructions that I'd like for students to follow here and then down here in my assignment settings, I'm going to make some very specific choices. I would decide how many points this is worth, what group it's going in, those sorts of things. When I get to submission here, I have to open up the drop-down and choose external tool. This is where we can signal that we want a Lucid product to come in and be a part of this assignment. So once I've selected external tool, you'll see that I have a search field that pops up. I want to find the Lucid external tool. A list pops up here and it is in alphabetical order and as I'm scrolling, I see Lucid right there, so I'm going to click on it and it's going to ask me a couple of things. My classroom does not have students younger than 13 and now it's asking me which product I'm going to be sourcing from. My product is in Lucid Spark and I could design an assignment right here within Canvas using a blank board, but I have already created my assignment, so I'm going to choose from my documents. Now we see the exact same screen that pops up inside of my Lucid dashboard. I'm going to select the Spanish assignment that I created, give you a little preview here, select, and then I have to hit select again. This is closing out our choice as we've configured our external tool, and now we can see here that a Lucid integration is going to be the submission type. I can then mark how many attempts I want students to have and then I have to go in here and add some due dates. Apply a new feature is right here, you can also select a standards alignment that will pop the student performance onto your Mastery Tracker, that is a video for another topic, but now I'm ready to hit save. Okay, so it's telling me the tool needs to be loaded in a new browser window. Great. Okay, this is a preview copy of the Lucid Spark document students will receive. When a student submits their assignment, a PDF image of their Lucid document will be sent to SpeedGrader, so it's going to live right alongside all of your other assignments and grades. Any changes the student makes after submission will not be reflected in SpeedGrader unless they resubmit, so that's something to keep in mind as you're coaching students on how to use this and when to turn it in. So a little preview here. I am going to drag these over. Oh, there it goes. Now I'm going to submit and it lets students know that their activity has been completed and recorded. Now I can, as the instructor, go in and view the results here and I can see an overview or individual submissions to see how the class is performing on this. So you've just learned how to incorporate Lucid products into your Canvas assignments.
