Good idea about the support ticket! I will do that. Thank you.

This would be an amazing feature! I can't believe it hasn't gotten more traction with it being such an old idea. I'm hoping that more recent comments will help boost this. Mark James Reformed Theological Seminary LMS Administrator

In testing New Quizzes in our beta environment, it seems I have to hit the "Update button" 2x before the Speedgrader grade area will update. On the first click, the final score immediately above the "update button" updates, but the speedgrader grade in the top right does not. On the second click, the speedgrader grade in the top right updates. As far as I can tell, the gradebook updates on the first click, but this is going to cause confusion for our faculty and teaching assistants. I don't know if this is related to New Quizzes being an LTI, but this should definitely be corrected.

In doing further thinking about this, one possible "solution" would be to just have 1 or 2 questions in the stimulus so that the stimulus text shows, set the stimulus to have questions below and then just have the same question type not attached to the stimulus. That way there is almost a seamless transition from the stimulus to the other questions that are of the same type, but you avoid the scroll bar issue.

Thank you so much!

This happens because the "original email" is being included in the reply. While not ideal, if the faculty are trained to delete the original email from their reply, then all of that extra clutter will not appear in the comment box; just the faculty response.

Nested scrolling within a stimulus question is asking for trouble as students don't realize that they need to scroll down on the inner scroll bar. This is also made worse by mouse placement when using a scroll wheel on the mouse. I created the below video in our beta environment to see the issue in action. https://www.icloud.com/iclouddrive/059-KzJjp3z4QIusItDkLg2Dw#nested_scroll_bars_in_new_quizzes Whether the stimulus is set to the right or set below, the nested scroll bar is there. Students feel a unique sense of pressure already when taking an exam and to have a labyrinth of scrolling, panning, clicking, and viewing is insane. In my opinion, this is a major step BACKWARDS from the classic quizzes and if we get forced into this, we may have to look for another LTI for our quizzes/exams.

I have the same complaint. Nested scrolling within a stimulus question is asking for trouble as students don't realize that they needed to scroll down on the inner scroll bar.

@jsheringer I'm late to this thread and am unable to download the attachments. Is there any way to restore the attachments so that they are still available for community users to download?

canvas_admin

In testing this, I just migrated a classic quiz to New Quiz and none of my "general comments" migrated. That field has "None" for each question, so I have to start from scratch and build out my "general comments" for each question on each quiz/exam. This will get quite tedious as some exams have 70-100 questions!

canvas_admin

Oh my goodness, YES! We have different forums that require a different number of posts and different number of replies. From a grading perspective, it is frustrating to click those assignments off of the To-Do list until more submissions come in, and to be in the dark as to whether it really is completed or not.

@jerry_nguyen thank you for letting me know that. I guess its back to the drawing board for me to figure out why it is not working for our instance. 🙄

So it's about a year later now and the CSS/JS solutions are not working. Big surprise given the constant code updates. Can anybody provide an *updated* solution to remove this icon/link?

canvas_admin · ‎09-15-2022

I'd like to see the icon removed from file downloads as well and let users use their own icons. This download button is messing up our home page course design (see screenshot, 2nd button from the top)

canvas_admin · ‎09-15-2022

This is another issue that will keep us from being able to make the change to New Quizzes!

canvas_admin · ‎09-15-2022

This would be a wonderful improvement to current functionality. I too use student comments on assignments and it would be great to see multiple submissions rather than having to click on the assignment, then speedgrader, then navigate to the student in order to see the submission history.

canvas_admin · ‎09-14-2022

@ericwerth the first link in your reply is now archived and no longer available in the community. Do you perhaps have it saved/backed up somewhere? I've got a professor dealing with this currently and being unable to see your summary is a disappointment as I try to research this issue.

canvas_admin · ‎09-14-2022

I've got a professor dealing with this issue as well. He has tried both Firefox and Chrome on a PC. However, I can see it both as my admin account as well as masquerading as the user.

One could request data for up to a month timeframe from a present moment. Are there any plans to be able to go back further than 1 month? For example, if I wanted to explore course access data for a term that has already expired, I would not be able to do that given the 1 month timeframe limit.

canvas_admin · ‎09-12-2022

I have not. I tried using the Google provided tag inside our JS file, but that has not worked so I'm not sure what to do if we can't access the portion of the site where the tag needs to reside. I'd love it if somebody would be able to figure it out and comment here!
