Introduction

Sometimes it can be helpful to download materials from Canvas in order to work with them in external applications such as Microsoft Excel and Word. For example, if you anticipate being without internet access for a period of time but still want to be able to evaluate online submissions or work with your Gradebook in a spreadsheet, you can do so by downloading them onto your computer. This page will help you to export grades and assignments from your course to work with them outside Canvas and then import them back into to your Canvas course.

Note: if you record your grades in Canvas, it is good practice at the end of the semester to download a spreadsheet of your Gradebook for your records. In the rare case that Temple adopts an alternate LMS, you might be at risk of losing grading data, since you may no longer retain access to your past Canvas courses. Making a folder on your personal computer that contains spreadsheets from each semester's courses will prevent this from being an issue.
