Every chapter grade reaches your LMS gradebook within minutes

Students open Prepara from your course with the sign-in they already have. What they earn in the book lands in your gradebook within minutes, one column per chapter or one total. Grades from the tools go when you press Send. Nobody copies scores by hand.

Details of grade sync

No password, no token

Prepara connects through LTI 1.3, the standard your LMS uses for course tools.

Every student matched

Students who never launched from your course are matched through the class roster.

Merged sections work

Merged and cross-listed courses are supported.

You decide on tool grades

Grades from In-Class, the Studio and the other tools go when you press Send.

Questions

Which LMS does it work with?

Canvas, D2L Brightspace, Blackboard and Moodle, through LTI 1.3. The setup for each is on the page for your school's IT.

How quickly do grades appear?

Chapter grades arrive within minutes of a student finishing the work. Grades from the tools go when you press Send.

Will it change my other columns?

No. Prepara creates only the columns you confirm and leaves the rest alone.

Does it work with my textbook?

It sends the grades students earn in Prepara: in a book on Prepara and in the Prepara tools, whatever textbook your course uses.
