LTI 1.3, grade sync does not work for linked section is schoology

We are trying to build LTI 1.3 app for schoology. We are facing issues during grade sync. 

So the issue is unlike other LMSs, where the line item is created during deeplink response by sending lineItems filed or by creating line item during deeplink launch. Schoology has a property called gradingCategory, which is not set if we are creating the line item via above mentioned approach.

When teacher goes to the setting button on assignment created and enable grading and assign grading category, a line item is created, we are using that line item to post the score, which works for non linked section.

For linked section the assignment created via deeplink is visible to all the student of all the linked section. There are multiple line item getting created for each section, and when we try to post score using those line item we are only able to post for one section.

Not just that when the launch happen for deeplink. The context we get only contain one section, which is also confusing, since the assignment link get posted to all the sections. 

There are no documentations anywhere regarding these internal details.

@ashuvyas45 We have an LTI 1.3 tool that uses AGS and we're seeing the exact same thing. I think the problem we're seeing is no clear way in the tool launch from schoology to distinguish the sections that are linked. So we have no way to know where to send the results. 

 

One big customer would like to use us for grade return, but right now they can't since Schoology doesn't seen to support this case with third-party tools.

I am seeing the same issue. Has anyone resolved this? I am using custom parameter group=$CourseSection.sourceSectionId to create the group when launching into my platform but the issue is that the instructor needs to be able to launch from the same group to look at the student progress in my platform and when students from different sections complete course work in the platform one gets grades, the second section sometimes gets grades and the third section never gets grades sent back.

 

what custom parameters are you using?
