[ARCHIVED] icons (with alt-text) on syllabus page

[ethomas48]

I wish that the icons associated with the assignment type -- the ones that appear next to each assignment on the Assignments page -- also appeared on the Syllabus.

Taking a Canvas course as a student has made me realize that this important and useful information is missing from the Syllabus. Only if the instructor names the assignment well can a student see, at a glance, if it is a quiz, a discussion, or a regular assignment. These icons should be automatic -- as they are on the Assignments page -- and should be readable by screen readers with appropriate alt-text.

Please explain why this should not be the case.

Thank you! Erin

Hi @ethomas48 ...

It sounds like this would be a good candidate for a new Feature Idea!  You can submit that by clicking on PRODUCT >> IDEA CONVERSATIONS at the top of any page here in the Community.  Then, click the red "Suggest an idea" button.  Hope this helps!

I agree, that would be nice, and make it consistent.  It may be a feature they are working on.

I have turned this into an open idea. Please vote it up!
