Wondering how to view the submissions from students submitting assignments in canvas MATLAB autograder? The normal speed grader does not show anything for students that have submitted their answers, nor does the download submission button show up below where it would normally be present. Any thoughts?
Additionally, it seems the autograder automatically tells the students what they got wrong. Could I change this to only be revealed after all students have submitted?

Hello @IsaacHclark
I am not familiar with MATLAB and their LMS integration. However, I know that some integrations do not always get along well with Speedgrader. This might be why you can't view the submissions in Speedgrader. If the submissions are supposed to be visible in Speedgrader, it might have something to do with the LTI Advantage Services settings seen HERE for the MATLAB Integration.
As far as why the option to download submissions isn't an option, this is because Bulk downloads can only be used for file uploads, text entries (displayed as HTML files), website URLs (displayed as HTML files), and Google Docs submissions. Based on the MATLAB's documentation, the tool can only be used as an external Tool Submission type.
I spent some time looking through MATLAB's community HERE and it does not seem like there is a way to hide the results for students, unfortunately.

Hi Colton,
I was able to contact the MATLAB services responsible for the integration and they were able to show me a small reports tab on the assignment that allows you to see submissions and download them.
As for hiding the results, upon similar inspection, it seems there is in fact no way to hide the results at this point in time.
Thank you for looking into it!
