Canvas Suitable Integration

The Suitable Canvas Integration is now available to use in College of Public Health courses. The integration allows faculty to add existing Suitable activities as assignments in their Canvas courses.

To get started, follow the steps below or watch this video tutorial: How to Add an Activity as an Assignment in Your Canvas Course

1. In your Canvas course, click on Assignments from your course navigation menu
2. Click on the three dots in the upper right-hand corner of the Assignments area and then select either IMPACT Undergraduate or IMPACT Graduate (whichever pertains to the course you are teaching)
3. Scroll through the list of Suitable activities under the column called Search Content on Suitable
4. Locate the activity you would like to add and click on the green plus sign to add the activity. You will see the activity now listed on the right-side column
5. Click on the blue Sync Content to Course button at the top of the window
6. The screen will return to your assignments area in Canvas where you can publish your assignment.

After you have published your assignment, there is an additional step that must be completed in order for the completion grades to sync properly between Suitable and Canvas. Follow these instructions:

1. Click on the three dots again from the Assignments area
2. Click on IMPACT Undergraduate or IMPACT Graduate
3. Click on Sync Grades and Roster. This button must be pressed for your grades to sync properly between Suitable and Canvas.
4. Click on Grades and you will see a column in the Gradebook has been added for the assignment.

Note that the process above does not allow you to preview the activities before adding them to the course. If you would like to take a look at the available Suitable activities, follow steps 1-3 in the "Adding Suitable Activities to Your Canvas Course" process above and then close the Suitable IMPACT graduate or undergraduate course builder.

After, you will be able to log into Suitable outside of Canvas to browse the activities. To do so, following these steps:

1. Go to Suitable at: https://app.suitable.co/login
2. Enter your accessnet email address with @temple.edu (for instance tuxyyyyy@temple.edu where your accessnet will replace the example "tuxyyyy")
3. Select either IMPACT for undergraduate activities or IMPACT Graduate for graduate activities
4. Login in with your Temple accessnet and password
5. Click on Activities on the left side to browse activities
