We migrated to Canvas this semester from Blackboard. In Blackboard, column statistics were available for every column in the Grade Center. These statistics displayed in a table with the mean, median, etc. and the number of grades in each group (for letter grades, A, A-, B+, etc., for points/percentage on a 100 point scale). I've attached images below.
It would be extremely helpful if the same type of statistics were available in Canvas. Most needed (and asked for) is to be able to see how many students have an A, B, C, etc. Faculty frequently refer to this when reviewing midterm and final grades to finalize grades.
I have searched the community (and the instructor guide) to try to find a solution but haven't seen one. I was able to find mention of this need in a conversation about mean, median, etc. for an assessment, but not the complete breakdown of grades by column.
Thank you for your help!
