[Gradebook] Post Feedback/Annotations and Grades Separately

Post Annotations and Grades Separately

It would be extremely beneficial to have the ability to post feedback separately from posting grades.

This is an extension of a previous idea on the community:

https://community.canvaslms.com/ideas/14428-release-feedback-and-marks-grades-separately-assignments

Current Situation:

Feedback and grades are posted simultaneously. With the new development (in beta) it will allow entering feedback without a grade and releasing this, a grade is therefore not entered or it is entered at a later stage.

There are a number of workarounds in order to accommodate the current functionality including providing feedback outside of Canvas, storing grades separately then going back and entering them into the system, not releasing feedback until a later stage, etc.... I'm sure there are more!

What we would like to do:

Enter feedback at the same time as entering the grade and have the ability to post grades and feedback separately (posting feedback would include annotations within SpeedGrader).

 

Benefits include:

• Students will get their feedback in a timely manner and not need to wait for ratification of grades.
• This will save time as staff will not have to go back and enter grades at a later stage (which would be required in order to release timely feedback)
• Reduce risk of error as grades will not need to be recorded separately before being entered / imported into Canvas.

Thanks,

The current manual posting policy hide both marks and feedback (aka comments)

The current hide grades option also hide both marks and feedback of students keyed before the option is selected.

We require the ability to hide marks but show feedback for all students for certain assignments/quizzes regardless of when the score/feedback is keyed in.

A qualitative and quantitative(marks) feedback should be handled exclusively. A qualitative feedback from educators helps to direct students whereas a mark is just a static feedback of a student's performance. It would be great to have them as mutually exclusive features.

This would be so useful! Yes please!

[StephanieNg]

We need this feature too!

We currently release feedback but never do so for our scores.

This should work with rubrics as well as quiz feedback. 

We want students to be able to see the feedback in the form of comments/ annotations, rubrics and quiz question feedback but never the score.

Is there any progress on this? What ever happened to the beta from 2020?
