The step to connect/link assessments from Extempore is exactly that. It creates a link between assessments you've created in Extempore so that they will be made available to students within your LMS and display in the LMS Gradebook so that your Extempore Gradebook and LMS Gradebook will always be in sync.
How it works:
Connect Extempore assessments to your LMS via "External Tool" when adding new assignments/assessments in your LMS
Requirements:
If you do not have an Extempore teacher account, please contact your organization admin.
