I would like the ability to quickly access completion of formative assignments and quizzes, similar to walking around the classroom and glancing at the students work. It is burdensome to open each ass...

In addition to the grades that appear in the Canvas course grading scheme, many higher ed Student Information Systems accept alternative values (typically alphanumeric) to indicate special situations ...

Currently the missing policy will enter zeros (or any designated score) automatically at the due date, but with assignments that have manual grade posting turned on, those zeros (and the impact to ave...

In our honours project course we run group projects and we require double-marking of final theses/reports for quality control. Unfortunately, there is an inexplicable limitation in Canvas that you can...

Right now, the only checkmark grades you can do on assignments and quizzes are for complete/incomplete grades, but a lot of teachers (in my school especially) would like to be able to have the grade t...

When an error occurs in New Quizzes that interferes with a student's most recent attempt, one solution is for faculty to apply the previous score.  However, that is only possible through the addition ...

Draft comments in Speedgrader require teachers to manually click “submit” before moving on to the next student submission. This can be helpful to keep a draft when you want to come back to it later, b...

Allow setup of least passing grade for each grading standard. Just as a range of percentages are tied to a certain grade, a grade/range of grades should be tied a boolean status - pass or fail. Exampl...

We need the ability to max canvas gradebook averages at 100%, regardless of what grades the teacher has added.  We have a SIS integration with Renweb/Facts. We have several awesome students who get 1...

It would be nice to have required, but non-graded/evaluated responses in quizzes. For example, I like to use quizzes as exit-tickets or quick check-for-understandings where I ask a content specific qu...

For basic skills and ESL students, uploading files is a barrier in and of itself. They can do text entry; teachers need to be able to annotate writing line by line. Add annotations to text entry boxes...

Please offer the option to restrict students' answer selection to X number of choice selections and offer partial points for correct answers ONLY without deducting points for incorrect answers. The pe...

This idea is to create an assignment group option that always excludes all assignments within that group from the gradebook. This would turn the entire assignment group into a collection of practice a...

This idea is to allow an option in assignment group settings to exclude the group from the late penalty. Some activities are programmed as not counted towards the grade, by using weighted grades and a...

This idea is to focus the late policy on graded assignments.  Those activities that are marked "do not count towards the grade" should not be subject to the late penalty.  Seeing a late penalty sends ...

Many schools' academic policies are defined so that student grades are reduced based on weeks For example, our current academic policy is that students will receive a score reduction of -10% if it is ...

Many of our courses allow a student to take the course as a letter grade or P/F.  Currently, we have no way to account for this in the Canvas gradebook since every letter requires a percentage attache...

In a pass/fail quiz, students would need to get a certain number of questions correct to earn full points.  For example, a Quiz that has 10 questions is either worth 75 points or 0 points at the end o...

Post Annotations and Grades Separately It would be extremely beneficial to have the ability to post feedback separately from posting grades. This is an extension of a previous idea on the community: h...
