Overview

When you connect a Pivot Interactives assignment to a Canvas assignment:

  • Grades are transferred automatically to your Canvas gradebook.

  • Students can create their accounts and join your Pivot Interactives class all within Canvas.

  • Students access their work through Canvas without needing to visit our website directly.
