I agree with those that say Build will be a confusing term and Edit makes more sense. I also agree that Save should always work the same and not have different actions because it is a quiz. Finally, we would told that mid-release deploys were for items that did not impact users. This is a big impact to users in a very busy time at least for US schools. This has been such a stressful year for teachers and adding anything that is more stress right before finals is a bad idea. We honestly would prefer it not change until June but definitely don't just drop it in when we don't know it is coming.

You might talk to your technology team. We created virtual sections for our teachers that are just the students that are currently virtual and we move them back and forth as the students change their placement. That allows our teachers to assign different assignments to the in person and virtual students. We had the same problem with 'Missing Assignments' for in person students until we did this.

We have teachers reporting that students both in their classroom and working remotely are having trouble loading New Quizzes. The Loading screen just spins and never loads. Some of these quizzes are just a few questions so it is not a size issue. We have not been able to find the pattern. Has anyone seen this recently? I see old posts on this but nothing recent.

The Copy to is crazy. We have several years of courses. Trying to get the word out to use the course number but really hard to do that with 5000 teachers. This was a big miss. If someone wanted this, make it a feature option that the vast majority of us can turn off.

Definitely need to be able to export data in a CSV like you can in Classic. First thing I need though is those APIs to release. We have 3rd party tools we rely on that we cannot use until they have access to the API to develop their tool. We need those products, like Proctorio, before we can go completely over to New Quizzes. They need time to develop.

Is there a limit on how many students you see on the Insights list. I have students that are not showing up and trying to find out why the student isn't showing for me to check.

We turned of the new RCE today. Just too many issues. Many people can't record. Haven't found out what makes the difference on being able to record. Acts like it works but it does not show up when you save. The inability to link files is a problem In Quizzes, we can't get images to upload. Just too many things that are stopping teachers from doing work or making it too difficult. When it appears to be more robust we will try again.

We have been looking at this. We agree that the longer you use canvas, the bigger this issue. We are considering adding a user defined field in our SIS and then sending them up in our file as observers.

Has anyone managed to create 'easy' directions for their faculty? I would love to see an example if you are willing to share. What most people want is the equivalent of the Mute/Unmute so if you have directions for the new gradebook that accomplishes that I would love to see.

I agree that having the function in speedgrader is important.

My teachers are really going to hate this. I am told it is an accessibility issue but can't we just use a different color than the light grey. Maybe even both a different color and the icon. This is going to be a big issue for getting the word out to the thousands of staff this will impact.

We create a student demo account that we used for training. We added them to a master course. The Test Student in Canvas does not work with the LTI

Important to remember that this isn't a function of Canvas but of a talented Canvas user who wrote the program and contributed to the rest of us who use it.

I made a comment to my CSM this week. We also have Canvas Gauge and it has separate imports. They recently added import history to Gauge and it is awesome. You can see the history, get a summary and download the log from past imports. Don't know how far back it will go, we now have 51 but that is how many days since they implemented the feature. I would love to see that in base product.

tross · ‎10-16-2018

Agreed. It just takes so long to get these resolved through support when we would much rather just know the issue and move on.

Sorry I couldn’t attend. I also had a pre-conference workshop.

We don't use an authentication service or SSO. We ran a script that changed all the passwords but apparently if you ever touch one through the UI, there is no way to clear it so that the SIS import will update it.

tross · ‎06-28-2018

Interestlingly, it works on every field EXCEPT the password. The documentation doesn't show that password is a sticky field but once you change it in the UI, you can't change it with the upload. We have a script that does a one-time override of the password but it doesn't release the password field so that a future regular import would change if necessary. Names and logins work but password does not. Any ideas?

Makes sense. Wed is the only scheduled meeting I have so I am good with what works for the majority.
