Canvas Instructor Email Notifications--Quiz Submissions

Jump to solution

My instructors are receiving notifications when students complete a quiz. In our system, they are called "Knowledge Checks," but they are New Quizzes. Which notification is tied to this? I have attached a screenshot of the notification email they received, and this instructor's notifications settings.

They have "Grading" toggled off, and "All Submissions" toggled on. They do want notifications for assignments submitted, but since our quizzes are auto-graded (and students can take them multiple times--it's a formative assessment), we don't need notifications for those. 

Also, our instructors have multiple courses! It's really not helpful to only be notified of the student's name, and the module number. Ideally, the notification email would also contain the course name and number. Is this something we can adjust on our end? Is this something I should submit as a feature request to Canvas? I feel like the email notification is basically useless due to the lack of info it provides.

Thanks in advance!

@SarahMurphy2 My money is on this notification being because of All Submissions being enabled. It says it excludes quizzes, but New Quizzes is built as an external tool assignment, so I think it is still getting through.
