LTI Grade Passback Expected Format?

Dobes Vandermeer

I am trying to implement grades passback into Blackbaud.  There doesn't seem to be any documentation around this, so I am using our Canvas implementation.  The API seems to be able to return a grade (albeit in the wrong format, which I pointed out in a separate thread) but when I submit a grade it complains the request is invalid.


Here's an example:

Request

    POST https://wesleyanschool.myschoolapp.com/app/Lti/Outcome?x=vv... HTTP/1.1

    

    

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>

    <imsx_POXEnvelopeRequest xmlns="http://www.imsglobal.org/services/ltiv1p1/xsd/imsoms_v1p0">

      <imsx_POXHeader>

        <imsx_POXRequestHeaderInfo>

          <imsx_version>V1.0</imsx_version>

          <imsx_messageIdentifier>5ef68..9284</imsx_messageIdentifier>

        </imsx_POXRequestHeaderInfo>

      </imsx_POXHeader>

      <imsx_POXBody>

        <replaceResultRequest>

          <resultRecord>

            <sourcedGUID>

              <sourcedId>VvZVg2zD...hHcQ=</sourcedId>

            </sourcedGUID>

            <result>

              <resultScore>

                <language>en</language>

                <textString>0.5</textString>

              </resultScore>

            </result>

          </resultRecord>

        </replaceResultRequest>

      </imsx_POXBody>

    </imsx_POXEnvelopeRequest>

Based on the responses I am getting, it seems like it must be an implementation of https://www.imsglobal.org/spec/lti-bo/v1p1/ but it isn't accepting the same replaceResultRequest that we use with Canvas.


Does anyone have any idea what the API is that Blackbaud supports?

I have put both your posts here about errors and issues with the API into the request for dev to look into.
