Export Scores to Google Class

That's really unfortunate! But, thanks for the tip!

It is taking me hours to post grades from Khan into our gradebook (Synergy). With COVID - 19, KHAN academy is one of the best ways for students to get some direct help and practice with feedback. I'm even making tutorial videos with Zoom with students to further help, which is nice, but grades are killing me!

If I can export topics and quizzes as assignments to Google Classroom then those can get pulled automatically to my grading program and I can focus more on helping students at home instead of managing grades. 

The time to fix this is NOW. Khan + Google Classroom = LOVE

OMG, it would be a dream come true if Kahn could export grades to GS! I spend 2/3 of my time bouncing between KA and GS trying to see who has complete what. I have so many students who are new to the new distance learning!  They think they have completed an assignment,  but they haven't.  All I do is virtually chase students around for missing work! Actually, it's not too much different from classroom teaching.🤔

I am also in support of a better link between grading in Khan Academy and Google Classroom. That would be fantastic!

Any updates? I would love a way to link these grades to GC. Please!!!! 

Same here. KA- get this going please! You’re GC link actually made my life harder as the kids did not log in after clicking on the link! You guys are better than this.

Yes to all above. A few thoughts:

In KA, with just a few clicks, a teacher can assign a whole lesson (or selected activities) to one or more classes. Teachers can see whether and how well each student completed each Activity. Very nice.

We need that KA assignment to translate into an Assignment in GC for the same imported classes, with the same due date and activities. Ideally, one chunk of KA work = one GC Assignment. If we try to track work at the level of KA Activities, I think it will add up to too many GC Assignments. This integration may require a lot of cooperation, APIs and coding between GC and KA.

A more short-term goal might be to allow teachers to see what all students are doing in KA. I can't. I followed KA's instructions, created classes in KA by "importing" each GC class and "invited" all my students to join Khan -- over a month ago. However, KA's invitation is via email, and our students' Google accounts don't include email. I posted instructions in GC on how to join KA classes, with class codes. But fewer than half of my students have joined. They may not have even created a Khan account. (Before schools closed, students had a Google account but no KA account. It took weeks just to get all our students equipped with Wi-Fi and a device (e.g. loaner Chromebook) and signed on Google Classroom. Our GC math Assignments simply have a Link to the first Activity of a KA lesson (typically a video). With Autoplay on, KA leads students through the activities -- seems pretty foolproof. Students come back to GC to "turn in" the GC assignment; however, we teachers had no way of monitoring their KA work.)

So I want to force my students to create an account, log in and join a Khan class before doing work that I assign -- or at least make it dead easy to do so. Here's an idea:

When a teacher creates an assignment in KA, KA generates an URL that contains the link to the lesson, plus parameters in the query string.
Teachers would copy & paste that URL into the "Link" of a GC Assignment.
When the student clicks the URL, the query string parameters indicate to KA that the student belongs to a certain GC class that was imported into a KA class.

• If the student does not have an account, they must create one. Links need to be real simple: "I have a KA account with my school"; "I have a personal KA account"; "I don't have an account at KA".
• If the student is not logged in, they must log in.
• If the student is coming from GC but logged in with their personal account, their GC email address is added to their personal account.
• If the student has not joined the KA class, they are automatically joined.

None of this would prevent students from using KA outside of GC assignments. Students are always free to go to khanacademy.org, log in or not, and do whatever learning they want. During the above joining process they can get the usual warnings about sharing their activity; they may abandon the process at any step.

Another thought: I believe it might be easier for GC to be in control of the grade transfer process. So instead of exporting grades from KA to GC, teachers would be in GC and import grades from KA. That would be analogous to how GC imports grades from quizzes based on Google's own Forms.

Another idea: There's a Chrome extension called Grade Transferer that transfers grades from GC and other learning sites to Infinite Campus and other grade-recording sites. Maybe something like that could be cooked up to go from KA to GC?

Currently I can only figure out how to download a single assignment to csv. Even if I just had the ability to download all assignments to csv (like an entire gradebook), then it would allow me to more easily keep track of overall scores, and I could input that into my gradeook as a single assignment. I know I could use the progress for this, but I assigned both videos and exercises and just want to grade based on how they do on exercises. 

Come on KA, I know exporting grades is possible because Quizizz does it.   Please add this feature. 

Really hoping that you could please add this feature before class starts in the fall, as I'm sure we'll be in some sort of hybrid school/remote situation. It would save time (that I could be using to help students) if the scores could simply be exported directly to Google Classroom. Thanks!!

What I've been doing to reduce the wide variety of grade entries considerably is to click on "Progress" and then use the phase rankings as a substitute. It's no longer going to be as informative because the individual rankings, but if you pick to apply the combination guide rating, it will at least give you a big photograph of ways a good deal students are gaining knowledge of. I created a rubric to make the switch of grades less complicated as nicely.

I think it's going to be a custom tool, something like the previously mentioned GradeTransferer Chrome extension.  I am going to attempt a to code my own tool this long weekend :)  Hooray for Computer Science!

Jane Lim Good idea about using Progress.  However, not all courses in Khan Academy have the Progress function set up yet.

I created a YouTube video about how to easily read downloaded score data in Excel, using a pivot table.

Please please please consider helping teachers with manual grade transfer.  I am spending so much time with 2 KH screens in my browser trying to figure out which assignment goes with what lesson.  

If you would please consider adding the unit and lesson number to the "Scores" screen, this alone would be a HUGE timesaver.

I'd even be more thankful for a way to transfer scores from Khan Academy to Canvas and to Google Classroom.

Please help teachers work smarter not harder.  We love the resources Khan Academy provides.  We just need help with transferring grades.

Thank you KhanAcademy for all the valuable resources you provide to us teachers, parents & students. We appreciate it even more so during Distance Learning.

With that said, if you could please consider maybe asking a third party for a Chrome extension to transfer grades, we'd love KA even more! Transferring grades is so time consuming. I'd rather spend that analyzing the data to better support my students needs.

I'll keep this chain going.  This IS a bid deal.  EdPuzzle scores go directly to Classroom.  Not sure why KA can't do the same.  

Please consider adding this integration to support your user base.

Thanks

I dream of this happening. 

Inputting grades for 1 skill at a time is not so tedious. The issue is when I assign several skills at once in GC and have to add the KA scores together. I'm constantly making errors when I do that. A spreadsheet should make it so easy. 

Robert Brewer if you just want a spreadsheet you can get that easily enough with download student data, it comes as a CSV

Teacher dashboard > class > settings > download student data

My school has been using Canvas as a gradebook for the past two years (it then syncs to Infinite Campus gradebook) and I was having the same struggle as everyone here with there being no way to sync grades from Khan Academy to Canvas. Long story short I developed an application that runs in a Google Sheet that links Canvas and Khan Academy assignments and sends the Khan Academy scores to Canvas. I should point out it's not a direct connection since as of a few years ago, Khan Academy completely killed off their public API (allows for communication between these systems). It instead requires you to simply download the student data from Khan Academy and then upload it to the application for processing.

Now I see that a lot of people here are talking about Google Classroom. A cursory look at the Google Classroom API suggests that a similar application could be developed for Google Classroom. If that's something anyone here might be interested in, I would be interested in possibly developing that. I would just need some people to be beta testers when the time comes. If you want to take a look at how the Canvas application works, the link is below. Functionality would be very similar I believe.

Has any progress been made on importing KA scores to google classroom?  I would be very helpful if this was possible.
