Schedule posting marks

[BronwynJackson]

Hi there does anyone know if marks can be scheduled for a time to be posted? Eg: marks are loaded during the day but would like the marks to be held until the end of the school day to minimise disrupting students while in other classes.

Hi @BronwynJackson - Thank you for reaching out. Unfortunately there is specific feature to give Canvas LMS a "default/scheduled" time to release marks, I would suggest investigating the Grade Posting Policy via this community article How do I use posting policies in a course? You can use posting policies in the Gradebook to manage assignment grade visibility for students. Posted grades are visible to students in your course. Hidden grades are visible to you in the course gradebook, but students cannot see them.

This can be set at the assignment or for the entire course allowing teachers to have the confidence to "post" grades at a time that makes the most sense. Enjoy!

Thanks @adamwarecx, I use the hide and posting policy and it is helpful. I really would love a feature to set a scheduled time to release marks so I can complete a job and not have to come back to it later when it is a more opportune time. Appreciate the response.

Sounds like awesome idea and thank you for posting. I'd suggest searching the Ideas for Canvas LMS first and if nothing fits your idea, then suggest lodging via How do I create a new idea in the Instructure Community?

I've had a look at this link and yes that would be super helpful.
