It would be great if there could be an interactive 'checklist' feature. Instructors can create a checklist of readings, assignments, and other tasks that students need to complete within a given week (or other time period). Items are marked as complete or crossed off when submitted, providing students with a visual tool and task list.
Ideally, the checklist would have 'categories' and due dates attached. Additionally, either automatically reflect the completion status or enable students to check the items on the list (or both).
Another idea would be to allow instructors to sort and file pages. As a creator, I have over a hundred pages created; it would be beneficial and efficient to have the ability to sort the pages into a filing system so I can easily find the page I need. Categories like templates, instructions, and readings would help differentiate the pages when I go to add a page to a module.
Hi @rachelshuman ...
These are interesting ideas and suggestions (especially your last one). However, I'm not sure if you know this or not, but there is a separate space here on the Canvas Community website where you can submit your ideas for consideration. That way, in the future, people can evaluate and vote on your idea submissions. All that being said, the entire idea process is undergoing some changes and is halted temporarily while the Canvas Community website transitions over to a new interface. There are two blog posts I'd like to point you towards:
Then, there are a handful of Guides here in the Community that address creating new ideas:
I hope these links will be of some help to you...even if this wasn't the exact response you were looking for. Good luck to you!
