There are two ways to sync: while you assign a lesson or course or later from the Classes page in Kira. This guide covers both, plus how to resync after you make changes.
Before you begin:
The class you're syncing to must be linked to Google Classroom. Syncing is only available for Google Classroom-linked classes.
Method 1: Sync while you assign
Step 1: Open the Assign modal
After you've generated a lesson or course in Kira, select Assign in the top-right corner.
Step 2: Choose your classes
On the first page (Step 1 of 4: Select target groups), select the class or classes you want to assign the lesson or course to, then select Next.
Step 3: Set dates and settings
On the second page, optionally choose an availability date and a due date. On the third page, configure the assignment settings. Select Next to continue through both.
Step 4: Choose which classes to sync to Google Classroom
On the fourth page (Step 4 of 4: Choose which classes to sync to Google Classroom), select the classes you want to add this assignment to in Google Classroom, then select Assign.
Where your assignments appear in Google Classroom
In Topics. Open the Google Classroom course you synced to and select Topics. If you synced a full course, it appears as a Topic in Google Classroom, with all of the Kira course's lessons and activities inside it.
Method 2: Sync later from the Classes page
You can also sync from the Assignments tab on the Classes page in Kira.
If you've assigned work to a Google Classroom-linked class but haven't synced it yet, a Sync to Google Classroom button appears at the top of the Assignments tab. Select it to sync those assignments.
Resyncing after changes
Once an assignment is synced, the button becomes Resync to Google Classroom. Use it when you've edited an assignment in Kira after syncing it, or to push an additional assignment you've added to a class that already has synced assignments.
Selecting Resync to Google Classroom opens a modal with two options:
Overwrite in Google Classroom: Replace the name, dates, and points on Google Classroom with the updated values from Kira.
Create in Google Classroom: Add the assignment to Google Classroom. Note that course assignments may create multiple graded items in Google Classroom.
Choose the option you want, then select Resync.
