Instructor: View Comment on Student Feedback?

[nlatimer]

Strange question.... when a teacher gives feedback on an assignment, the student can see that on their Dashboard under "Recent Feedback." When the student clicks on that, they can see the feedback and then add a comment of their own. They might see a screen like this:

So now if they add a comment (on the far right) and click "Save," is there any way for the teacher to see that? I know that if they re-submit an assignment, it will show up on the teacher's Dashboard, but what if they only add a comment to the teacher's feedback?

Thank you.

Hi Nancy Latimer,

I think you're asking about notification about there being a new submission comment, rather than just where to see the comment as an instructor since it'll be in the same spot where you see the comments either in SpeedGrader or in the Gradebook Student Context Card.

So, as an instructor you if you want to get notified about the comments, there's an option for it in the Notifications under Course Activities. https://community.canvaslms.com/docs/DOC-26294-how-do-i-set-my-canvas-notification-preferences-as-an... 

check out the bottom of page 10 of the Canvas Notifications PDF 

Student me has signed up for push notifications, so I get a ping immediately when there's a new comment. But Teacher me will only get daily summaries.

Hope these screen shots and guides help,
Stay home, stay healthy,
Cheers - Shar

Ah, yes, I didn't even think to look at notifications! Thanks so much, ishar-uw

Perhaps, I am not asking my question succinctly, for this response does not address the issue at all.  My question refers to the specific editing symbol/abbreviation/explanation written in the rectangular box referenced by the perforated line.
