When I insert grades into Canvas, I can type EX for an excused assignment without going through the extra steps in the drop down list. Is there a shorthand key for typing in Missing such as M when entering grades without going through the dropdown li...

Is there a way to easily remove the "missing" label from assignments on Canvas that doesn't involve having to individually click on EVERY student's grade and unclick the "missing" option? It is extremely tedious to do that at the end of a semester an...

What is the purpose of assigning Groups within the People of a course? Is there a way to give the Group access to a Canvas Quiz simultaneously so they can collaborate and work on it together?

candie · 2025-01-24

You know how there are options to mark assignments as “missing” or “Excused”? How do I make one called “Incomplete” and “Absent”? I am constantly writing these two things in the comment box and it would be nice to just have a button to click.
