More descriptive statistics (at least, median and mean) for every column in "Grades" (gradebook)

This idea has been developed and deployed to Canvas

One can see the mean for individual assignments in "Grades" (gradebook) but the median is not provided. Would like to see that as it is a crucial measure of central tendency in performance. For columns in the gradebook, that are an average of category assignments and an average for the course ("Total"), no descriptive statistics are provided at all. I would, at the very least, want mean and median provided, but, like for individual assignments, I'd like a graph of distribution of marks too. Thanks.

P.S. I'm aware of the boxplots in Course Analytics.

Very very nice! I think my stats students will be very happy

From what I'm seeing for this feature, the mean, median, and quartile information is now available to students. However, I am not seeing a way for instructors to access this information as well. The only thing I've been able to do is emulate a student as an admin and then provide that information to the instructor. I tried going into Student View, but it looks like the Test Student cannot see the grade distribution graph. Is there a way for instructors to see the grade distribution graph as well?
