Stopping teachers from regrading automatic quizzes

[jikolji]

We are looking to find a way to stop teachers being able to regrade automatically marked questions.  This is causing us a lot of problems as teachers are "accidentally" changing the marks that have been given to 100's of students and sometimes we are unable to find this out until weeks later.

Is it possible to stop teachers being able to do this?

Hello @jikolji 

Thanks for posting this in the global Canvas Community! 

I know this is not the answer you are looking for, but I don't think there is a way to restrict teachers from regrading quiz submissions in speedgrader, without revoking their all of their permissions to edit and enter all grades in the course. 

I looked at the Canvas permissions page. I saw that there is a permission called Grades - Edit. This permission is responsible for Allowing users to edit grades and add comments in SpeedGrader as well as some other additional considerations. I don't think this would be something you would want to restrict, but the option is there, if needed. This is usually restricted for course roles such as students, observers, or designers. 

There doesn't appear to be a permissions that would restrict them from regrading questions that were automatically graded in quizzes, unfortunately.

@jikolji -

About the only thing you can do is as @ColtonSwapp mentioned - restrict their abilities which means they can't create quizzes.

The other thing you could do is educate them on what not to do - i.e. do not do a regrade on the quizzes.  I have never done regrades on the entire quiz, but if I recall it is not an "oops" I hit the wrong button type of thing.  I think it takes a little bit of effort to actually regrade the quiz.  I would think that the teachers would be able to understand that and keep from doing it.

If they are trying to fix a grade issue for a particular student, then they can do that on that students quiz directly.

Good luck!!
