[SpeedGrader] Better Management of Multiple Attempts for Quiz Submissions in courses with large enrollments

[jaiyoung]

Problem statement:

Problem Statement: The current functionality of Canvas LMS in SpeedGrader is restricted when handling “All Quiz Attempts” in courses with large enrollments and multiple student attempts. This limitation impacts the efficiency of instructors and designers when grading quizzes.

Current Limitations: The “All Quiz Attempts” link is displayed when a quiz has more than 65 total submissions. This link redirects the user to a list of all attempts to prevent SpeedGrader from slowing down due to large data loads. The “Submission to View” option appears when there are 65 or fewer submissions, allowing instructors to select and view individual attempts directly in SpeedGrader. Instructors currently have limited options for reviewing submissions based on the highest grade or the average grade.

Proposed solution:

Implement an if-then setting that allows instructors to set a minimum grade threshold for receiving the highest grade. If the minimum threshold is not met, the average grade would be displayed. Additionally, increase the threshold for “All Quiz Attempts” from 65 to 100 total submissions before switching to the “Submission to View” setting.
