[Mobile - Canvas Student] Include Assignment Group weighting on Grades and Assignment page

[laura_clark]

Problem statement:

In the browser, the Assignment Group Weights are prominently displayed on the "Grades" page. This information is critical to understanding a student's performance and grade in a class. The mobile apps do not provide this important information. Our K-12 district has a 1:1 iPad program and our students use the Canvas Student app. In our experience, the majority of parent users also choose the Canvas mobile app to support their students.

Proposed solution:

In the mobile app, the assignment groups are displayed on the Assignment groups page as well as the grades page, but the group weighting is not provided. Please consider including the assignment group weighting on the "Assignments" and "Grades" pages for student and parent mobile apps. The weighting can be added to the right on the Assignment Group Title line or included as a separate text field on these pages.

Problem statement:

Students cannot currently view their assignment group averages in the Canvas Student app. Some instructors/programs have requirements that students must maintain at or above a certain average in an assignment group (for example, exam averages). Without this information available in the mobile apps, some students might be unaware of their current status.

Proposed solution:

In addition to their grade total, allow students to view assignment group averages in the Canvas Student app. This could be incorporated as an expandable drop down under the grade total. This allows for grading transparency with students that use the mobile app as their main/exclusive method of monitoring grades.
