I have to second that! In discussions would be great but everywhere would also be great! ... View more

I was search under wrong keywords! Yes please.. We have certain subjects, like Accounting, that has grid formatted answers, like a balance sheet, or some accounting journals. Marking typically is done by ticks and/or crosses. Comments in these cases aren't as useful, nor a rubric is as helpful.   I can think of other subjects where this would be very useful as well, like economics, mathematics, statistics and more! As you can see, that's not easy to do on Speedgrader and drawing on a mouse is not ideal nor good for the wrist! I only have a blank script here, imagine I could just click on the stamp or symbol I wanted, then click anywhere on the script to indicate some feedback (via the ticks and crosses) for each part. ...

I'd echo this! I thought maybe I'm doing something wrong when I couldn't find it! Good to know I'm not the only one think this should be in Quizzes.next and surprised that it isn't! We need to be able to provide better feedback to students based on the answers that they have selected and direct them to an action that would help them gain better understanding or help them learn more on a specific concept/topic. ...

Thanks Robbie. I'm trying to do this, almost 2 years down the track, while I can open that screencast link. It doesn't seem to play anymore. (I've tried it in different browsers; try to move the time bar at the bottom also doesn't seem to change the screen.) Would you be able to make it available again? Thank you! ... View more

Maybe an option to show the SIS ID, or the SIS Login or both or none, would be great. ... View more

Lindy, if you ever re-open the idea, let us know, we will help vote it up! At the moment, it involves scrolling and pasting to Excel to get the data out! ... View more

Thanks Rob. Las week I followed up on the JIRA issue CNVS-29400 and found out that it has been closed. So the issue on the new UI should be resolved, in case you didn't know already. ... View more

As for notification, it'd be great to see notifications for mark changes for staff. So they can be notified when marks are changed, and they can choose their own preferences from notification settings. Obviously we can get quite creative here and add lots more flexibility, but to start off, just some notifications for staff would be great! Currently we still struggle with the security around mark changes given the combination of grade history shows 2000 grade points and no grade change notification for staff; some large courses (with over 1000 students) and some small (~200 students) but lots of quizzes (20+) with 3+ attempts each, finally 48 hour default log off (which we are reviewing). ...

Student view has a little checkbox to toggle between the final score and the current score. Go to one of the gradebook and click on an individual student's name, that gives you the look and feel of what the students see. On the RHS, look for the checkbox next to "Calculate based only on graded assignments". Default is the current score. The idea is great and hopefully once students have learnt how to use these features, it would motivate them to work harder! All part of the learning process. ... View more

Thanks for a great session and I can see you and your team had put a lot of work, research, design and thought into these changes. A few quick questions/suggestions: 1. Post Grade setting as automatic (which is what we have now) vs manual - would there be an account level setting that admins can set which one as the default for the account/sub-account? 2. Total grade adjustment, in the future, there's plans for private comments for staff, could a student feedback/comment be considered as well - so staff can provide reasons for students to improve communication and transparency as needed. (Of course, if these can be imported and exported would be wonderful!) 3. Is there any plan for an individual assignment gradebook; that is, a gradebook works like the normal gradebook for the course, with all students listed, except it only shows 1 particular assignment of interest. When you do export/import, also only does it for that 1 assignment. Thank you! ... View more

Rob, thank you so much!! This is great info!! THANK YOU!!!! ... View more

Anyone else has used this feature in their Institution would be able to share some screenshots? 1. Where would one goes to opt out of Inbox 2. What does the Global Navigation looks like 3. Can I still click on Inbox (if the icon itself isn't hidden) and what would I see 4. If you are a student of a course, does that mean the "Ask your instructor a question" option from Help menu disappears? Or not? (a screenshot?) Would Canvas Admin know who has opt out of Inbox? Thank you so much!! ... View more

"Allow users to opt out of the Conversation's Inbox. This will cause all conversation messages and notifications to be sent as ASAP notifications to the user's primary email, hide the Conversation's Inbox unread messages badge on the Inbox, and hide the Conversation's notification preferences." Sorry for being slow here, so the Inbox icon will remain, just the unread message badge will disappear? ... View more

Wow, thank you so much for the super quick response and all the information!! ... View more

Thanks Jeremy. This is very interesting. I have a few questions, if we turn this on for our institution 1. Does this apply to both staff and students? (ie. anyone in the institution can opt out of the Inbox and just check their emails) - I'm assuming this is the case. 2. What happens if Person A opts out of the Inbox; used their email client (we also use Outlook for staff; gmail for students) to respond to Inbox messages (conversations). Some weeks later, they decided to turn it back on, will they be able to see all the past conversations in their Inbox? Thanks. Regards, Sally ... View more

A simple idea we had in our in-house built system since 1995 to allow maximum flexibility for our staff. Each assessment has the "Mark out of" and "Weighting" options, allowing staff to decide how the points would be allocated to suit their marking and rubrics; and what this assessment is worth for the overall course work/assessments. Here's a screenshot if that helps... (you can ignore other options for this feature request) ... View more

I'd like to see the student view works for both the tablet devices as well as the mobile phones. We have staff wanting to try out doing online quiz in class and at the moment, I need to go borrow some people to be added as students to test things out. Also that won't work for our teaching staff to try and do these themselves either. So being able to access student view on the apps (regardless of the device) would be great! ... View more

Great idea! It'd be much easier training people about this as well.. rather than having to get out of where they were, go to Settings... etc, then how to get out of it afterwards! ... View more

Totally agree! It would be nice for it as just another option to select when creating a quiz, that would make it a more obvious feature rather than hidden under "Question Groups". ... View more
