Permissions problem - multiple choice answers "regraded"

[LukeDuggan]

Hi, we are having an issue where trainers are in the speedgrader, and choosing to "regrade" multiple choice questions. Of course, the issue is that when they are regrading them, they are modifying the correct result for all students.

This is causing students who were graded as 100% to suddenly have incorrect answers (because the correct answer has been modified).The assessments are of course correct as they are, we don't want people to accidently change them. 

Will reducing the following permissions fix this? 

- Assignments & Quizzes - Edit - Disable

Thanks,

Luke

Hi Luke, disabling this permission would work however the consequence would be that teachers cannot edit any assignment or quiz. If you allow teachers to add their own content to a course this could be challenging.

We Blueprint everything which allows us to lock 'master content'. This content cannot be changed in associated courses but allows teachers the flexibility of still creating/editing their own assignments/quizzes in their live course. Edits can be made to assignments and quizzes in the Blueprint and synced to associated courses but only by those who have access. 

Of course there are consequences with the use of Blueprints too but worth looking into.

Hello @LukeDuggan 

Thanks for posting this in the Canvas Community! 

This is a great question. I am assuming that your trainers are setup with their own course role? You could play with the permissions for that role. Disabling a permission such as Assignments & Quizzes - Edit -would limit their ability to Edit and manage Assignments and Quizzes. Keep in mind that you would only edit this for the course role such as the Trainer role so that the teacher can still do this in their course if administrative action is needed.  

As mentioned previously, Blueprinting courses might be another great option you could explore, giving you the ability to lock Content on assignments and quizzes that are synced over to any associated courses.

 Hopefully this helps!
