You can manage and assess student work in Wixie inside of your Canvas course.

Use these steps to assign and manage Wixie projects through Canvas.

Click the Canvas button on the toolbar.

Click the Use button.

At the Configure External Tool dialog, click the Select button

Finish adding assignment details and save and publish the assignment.

Once assigned, students will be able to complete the assigned Wixie project from within Canvas.

Complete the assignment work in Wixie.

Click the Canvas button on the Wixie toolbar to submit the assignment.
