feature request on group assignments

[kmcgrath]

I used group assignments for the first time this semester, and I love that I can send comments to the whole group and also to individual students.  It would be great if each comment displayed a notation so the students (and I!) could clearly see that THIS part went to everybody, and THIS part is just for you.  Maybe it does do this on the student side?  I'm always nervous about accidentally sending individual feedback to the group; it would be helpful to be able to double-check before posting grades.

And EVEN better would be if the rubric itself could have group vs individual scores - for example, 50% of the grade is a group score for presentation content, and 50% is individual for each student's performance.  Currently, I screengrab the group score to be sure I score them all the same, but this is clunky.  Hoping maybe there's something I'm missing in the rubric creation?

Thanks for any suggestions!

Hi there, @kmcgrath ...

For feature ideas and requests to add new functionality to Canvas, there is a separate area here in the Community website for that.  You'll need to re-submit your idea in this area so that it might be considered for development in the future.  However, please keep in mind that right now, the entire feature idea process is going through some changes.  You can read more about that at: Turning Your Feedback into Better Prioritization and Release Processes: Our Path Forward.

Here are the Guides you'd want to take a look at related to creating feature ideas:

• What is the feature development process for Instructure products?
• How do Ideas work in the Instructure Community?
• What are the guidelines for submitting a new idea?
• How do I create a new idea in the Instructure Community?

I hope these resources will be of some help to you.  Good luck!
