My top three are: 1. RCE in all question building areas, along with answer selection building. This includes multiple fill-in the blanks, multiple answer and essay questions. 2. Correct Scoring - which means partial credit, notification for questions needing grading, and easier access to speed grader. 3. Better and consistent navigation to New Quizzes. Where do you create a new quizz - under quizzes or assignments? How do you link to a new quiz - under quizzes or assignments? How do you add a new quiz to the calender - under quizzes or assignments? My other choices would be everyone else's. Right now it seems there are more things to be fixed, than dazzling new features offered. Just give us something that works intuitively for teachers. We will embrace it.

Is no one posting to this Idea Conversation, because we don't see any progress in this area? So many other bells and whistles are being added - but this basic functionality is being left behind. Please prioritize basic functioning over the extras. My teachers keep saying they just hate new quizzes because of this feature and the inability of partial credit. Please give us a timeline for a solution.

I am tired of waiting for some movement on this issue. All teachers know this is a no-brainer. Please find someone to fix this. It worked in the classic quizzes - why take it away.

We are starting a new school year, Canvas says the classic quizzes is on the way out - and still there is no answer to this problem or any indication that it is even being considered. I have loved Canvas until new quizzes came out. So much promise - but so much that it cannot do. It seems that it was programmed by people who never used it as teachers. Where do we see the results after the teachers give input? Please Canvas - listen and respond.

Google Apps LTI -Try it out, it works great and makes embedding of Google Apps much easier. Google Apps LTI Description: This Google App integration, created by Instructure, has five main points of interoperability that promote great teaching and learning: 1) Single sign-on: use your Canvas login to sign into Google (in process) 2) Google Drive embedding and linking: easily embed documents from your Google Drive anywhere you use the Rich Content Editor 3) Google Docs as Assignments: • Students can submit Google Docs as Assignments • Teachers can use a Google Doc to give an Assignment, and send a copy of that document to each assigned student • Teachers can grade submitted student assignments in Speedgrader by editing or annotating the Google Doc 4) Google Drive Collaborations: students can use Google Docs, Sheets, or Slides for a Canvas Collaboration 5) Modules: Teachers can link to a live Google Files in their Canvas Modules

For those who want to just simply add some buttons using html on a page - use this google sheet template I created to quickly create the html code for pasting into your page. Buttons for Canvas - Google Sheets

Just a note to anyone using the Google Apps LTI. If a student is using a Chromebook and has decided to block third-party cookies, the LTI integration will not work. The student might receive authorization, but because the cookies are blocked, the message will be received that Authorization has failed. Once the third-party cookies are allowed, everything works as advertised - Great!

Our problem is that assignments without due dates are not being flagged for errors. The message comes across that XX number of assignments have posted. Teachers are not always sure how many are supposed to be posting, so they assume all was posted to PowerSchool - but those without due dates have not. Only upon checking PowerSchool has the error been found. The faculty is losing confidence in the SIS link.

The students are finding that if they close Canvas and submit again, they are successful.

I assigned an assignment using google docs to my students using the external tool. I made sure they were all authorized and were able to open and see the document in Canvas. This evening, one student was able to submit the assignment. I have had four others message me that after hitting submit, the wheel just keeps spinning. Looking in Speed Grader, I see only the one submission. Anyone else having issues with submissions from students?

This is great, something my faculty has been asking for. I enabled the LTI for our school, added the necessary authentication information and now the Google Drive appears in the navigation menu. It is also available as an external tool in Modules. But an icon is not showing in the Rich Content editor. What needs to be done to get this to happen?

This thread contains many good ideas and resources for the marriage of Canvas and Google Docs.

We have just started building our Faculty site inside of Canvas - for the same reason to get the faculty more engaged with Canvas rather than send them elsewhere. I built a tab page as the home page, with the first tab being an introduction to building your Canvas course, the second being an embedded school master calendar from Google and the third being a set of interesting links to help blogs for Canvas, Google and You-Tube playlists on Canvas.

Embedding of a google doc takes care of this problem. When the google doc is updated, all places in Canvas where the document is embedded will also be updated at the same time.

This just came to my attention. You teachers might want to try this: Free Technology for Teachers: Write Music in Google Documents

I add my vote. When creating a quiz, questions are generated and some times there are many and sometimes there are few. If the quizzes are to be weighted the same, they should have the same point total. If the quiz score could be automatically changed to a percentage grade and then sent to the gradebook with this score, that would make them all equal. I realize you could make each quiz worth 100 points, but if there are only 7 questions, how many is that for each question. In addition, if you have a 35 point quiz, who wants to go back and change 35 point totals to 2.86 for each problem. If this were created, it might be easy to add percentage fudge points. This would also facilitate sending the score to an SIS.

What you have suggested makes perfect sense. I would at least like to have the option to have the question linked to the bank or unlinked. Carl R. Hochmuth Educational Technology Coordinator Luther Preparatory School The Fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom - Psalm 111:10

Yes, having the question banks dynamically linked in real time to open quizzes would be a great time-saver.
