Canvas Instructor Cheat Sheet

Despite my efforts to persuade them otherwise, often times we are asked for something physical regarding steps to do things in Canvas. We found an old "cheat sheet" on the web and updated it and removed some stuff to make it fit on one page (front and back) so it could be printed and laminated for those who absolutely have to have a physical resource. I really wish I could credit the original source for this so if you can place it please let me know.

awilliams​ I empathize with your conflictedness Smiley Wink.

I was asked to make a Canvas Gradebook/Handout for teachers and I struggled with this because the community is much better than any handout I can give them and as soon as it's printed it is only a matter of time before changes are made. I think some people just feel better if they have a physical handout.

Anyway, thanks for posting this! I'm going to put it to use.

I am needing to print a report of the student outcomes for Parent/Teacher conferences.  I've not been able to find information that guides me through that process.  I need the report to show all the assignments attached to a specific outcome and the score of the assignments that then create the learning mastery score for that outcome.  Any direction would be much appreciated.

Valorie - Do you mean for YOU (as an administrator) or for the instructors?  Would this help for the instuctors?  (How do I view the outcomes results report for an individual student in a course? )

If you mean for you as an administrator, have you tried creating the Outcomes report at the sub-account level as a report.  (See:  https://community.canvaslms.com/docs/DOC-12627-421480121 )  An Outcomes report is one of the options, and you may want to play around with the different outputs.  It will, however, give them to you as a CSV file that you will have to do quite a bit of sorting/filtering, etc., to make it more accessible for faculty.

Hey  @vcarmer , have you checked out How do I use the Learning Mastery Gradebook to view outcome results in a course? There is a way to export a report from there.

I need something simple to read for parents - who I can't get as an

observer - so they can see the outcome score based on SBG scoring of 4

(which I have set up in my Canvas class) and all the assignments that are

connected to that outcome with the trending scores of those assignments. I

really want the parents to see that numerous assignments have simply not

been turned in which has then resulted in a failing grade. But I need

something super easy for parents to follow. And I want only those outcomes

that I am presently using. (I have outcomes for second semester for the

course, but if I include all of that in the report, these parents will get

confused and then there will be additional issues.) The easier I can make

Canvas the better it is for all of us.

Would anyone like to take over ownership of this document? I am no longer able to maintain it but it seems to still be something of value to a fair number of folks. If so, let me know and I can add you as an editor.
