[New Quizzes] Print Essays and Annotations

Problem statement:

I'm working with a 5th grade teacher. We are using new Canvas quizzes . We want the students to complete and integrated reading and writing exercise. The reading passage is on the left with the writing prompt on the right. Upon completion, she would like to print out their final essays so they can reflect on them with annotations. Is this a feature that Canvas is considering?

A 2020 post shows a similar request for classic quizzes: Assignments have a Download Submissions button but Quizzes does not. However, you can go to Statistics and click the Student Analysis button to download all of their responses in a .csv file. It's not pretty, but I've done this before and then set up a Mail Merge with Word to create individual submissions from each student with just their essay questions. This makes is much easier to view and grade with essays. Since it's not an assignment with the Download Submissions option their is no easy one step solution to send them back to students. Probably the easiest way would be in SpeedGrader using the Attach button at the bottom of the screen, attaching the file for each student individually.

 

Proposed solution:

Teacher would like to print out their final essays from new quizzes. She would like the student to reflect on their essays with annotations using a hard copy.

Hi! I'm checking in! If you are unable to provide an update regarding this idea by April 2, we will need to archive it to help the Community Team focus on current Ideas. If you need more time, that's okay too! Providing an update before that time would be helpful and appreciated.
