Background: The table Learning Mastery (under Grades) is a good tool to see the students' current status in a course. By converting the course criteria into different Outcomes (type of criterion) in Canvas, you can test the same Outcome several times and see the average.
In my country the different course criteria are the deciding factors for the final grade. Thus it is also important to have more control over them in Canvas, if I as a teacher should be able to use this tool.
Suggestions:
1. Clicking on an outcome in the table should give a breakdown on all the different grades that students have received on that specific outcome in every assignment (that uses that outcome).
2. Manually grade an outcome to overrule the average result.
In case the average doesn't correctly match the student's actual skill or knowledge.
3. Individual colouring
Colours might currently depend on the organisation's own colour settings.
4. Permanently re-arrange the columns.
You can re-arrange the columns but as soon as you go to next side they flip back.
5. Visibility to the pupils so they can also see a summary of their progress.
To reduce work for us teachers it would be good if they could access this automatically made summary.
6. Easily transfer Outcomes to next years course.
