How to Assign an EdPuzzle Video Lesson in Canvas
To assign an Edpuzzle video lesson on Canvas:
Create an assignment in Canvas like you normally would.
Give your assignment a title, a point value, and in the “Submission Type” drop-down menu, select “External Tool.”
Click the “Find” button, which will open the “Configure External Tool” pop-up. Select Edpuzzle.
This will open another pop-up window showing your “My Content” on Edpuzzle (or prompting you to log in if you haven't done so already).
Select your video lesson by clicking the eye icon in the middle of the video.
Click the blue “Assign” button, which will return you to the “Configure External Tool” pop-up.
Click the blue “Select” button to confirm your assignment and close the pop-up.
Then you can set your due date and click the blue “Save” button to save the assignment (which won't be visible to your students), or the gray “Save & Publish” button to send it to your students.
Now your video lesson will appear in your list of assignments on Canvas! Your students will start to appear as they click on the assignment link.
Best of all, once students complete the lessons their grades will automatically sync with Canvas!
EdPuzzle will always score each student's work out of 100. However, the Canvas gradebook will base the score in the gradebook on the Canvas assignment point value. So, if a student scores 100 percent on an EdPuzzle assignment, but the assignment point value is zero, the student will be given zero in the gradebook. If a student scores a 95 percent on an EdPuzzle assignment, and the assignment is worth 10 points in Canvas, the student will be given 9.5 points in the Canvas gradebook.

IMPORTANT:
Reusing EdPuzzle Assignments in Copied or Imported Canvas Courses
When you copy a Canvas course or import a previous course into a new course shell, your previous EdPuzzle quizzes will also be copied or imported, with all the previous semester students' data. So, it is important that you recreate each EdPuzzle assignment so you start with a blank slate in each new course. The following video explains how to do this.
