Support Grading History in large course sites

This idea has been developed and deployed to Canvas

Currently, Grading History (How do I use grading history in the Gradebook? ) is completely unavailable in course sites over a certain size (around 100 students, in my observations). However, these large sites, generally with multiple teaching assistants and graders, are the ones that would benefit most from a log of who entered any specific grade.

 

At my university, we offer a very large number of courses that exceed the current capacity of the Grading History feature. Canvas adding support for this functionality in large courses would provide significantly increased transparency and accountability for our grading process and for instructors of large courses.

Hi Nigel.

Not sure I was able to add much clarity - for we don't have a firm timeline to share.

However, I did do some checking this morning, and there is an engineer that is working on this very concept!  Exciting!

Hi Renee,

It may not be specific in a firm timeline, but it sounds a lot more

promising than being in product radar where the description of the

corresponding timescale for action is indefinite. It will certainly

make it much easier to roll out use of Canvas for grading with multiple

TAs where we need to show that grades recorded are robust against

inadvertent change. Thanks again - I'm excited to hear this is in

development!

Thanks to the Canvas team for this huge improvement to the Grading History tool! Large courses with multiple graders tend to have the most need for this kind of data, and we're excited to make it available to our instructors.
