Hi All, First off, thank you for your participation and input in the community. We are trying to work through the solution for this idea. I am wondering if anyone has thoughts on how you would re-activate a student that was previously deactivated from all of their courses? When re-activating do folks face the same frustrations that you currently face when deactivating? I am particularly interested in use cases that you would likely run into. Would the departments (registrar, accounting, etc.) need to re-activate them in a few classes or all the classes that the student had previously be de-activated from? I really appreciate your feedback and thoughts on this in advance! ... View more

HI Gideon, Thanks for your contribution to the rubric without points topic. I am a product manager at Canvas and work on the rubrics. Can you elaborate on what the end goal of using the informative rubric? Is it solely to give students feedback? Are you using the criteria from the rubric to give the student an over "grade" for the artifact? I really appreciate your time in advance!

 @jbower2 ‌ thank you taking the time to post this idea. Many contributors mentioned outcomes but I never asked the necessary follow up questions. Can you or any other contributors elaborate on why you chose not to use the outcomes in your rubric? ... View more

We really appreciate everyone that took the time to contribute their thoughts and experiences in this thread. While I know we aren't going to be able to add this specific request in the next six months. We are doing research to determine what is the best way to get rubrics in Canvas. Maybe redoing the workflow that currently exists would fix the problem or creating a new magic rubric creator all together....more work needs to be done before we have the answer. At the end of the day we need to make it as easy as possible to get the rubrics that educators already have in Canvas so you can utilize the rubric tool to gather data and give students valuable feedback. ...

We so appreciate everyone's dialogue. Seeing the different use cases really helps us understand the various needs and use cases. We do not have the capacity to work on this in the next 6 months so it will be archived at this time. However, we've seen peer evaluation ideas pop up consistently which gives us great data for prioritizing.  ... View more

eportfolio is not a feature that we have plans to advance in the next 6 months.  Priorities can change, however I am confident enough that we will not be modifying eportfolios that I am going to archive this thread. Clearly eportfolios are a priority for you folks. I encourage you to continue having great discussions around eportfolios so we can continue gathering data which in return drives our priorities. ...

Thank you so much for the additional information each of you provided. As mentioned there are some work arounds to accomplish point ranges. Thank you stefaniesanders for your input there! I loved reading the discussions on this post. We are looking into a variety of ways to enhance rubrics: feedback only (i.e. no points), weighted rubrics, rubrics with percents, and point ranges.  The team responsible for this work is already at capacity with the outcome alignment and quizzes work. We will be moving this idea to Product Radar, so don't forget to bookmark or follow it to receive updates. ... View more

Thank you so much for the additional information each of you provided. As mentioned there are some work arounds with sections, differentiated assignments, and individual assignments; we recognize these are not ideal solutions. This idea addresses a variety of use cases, however it is not possible for us to get this work done within the next 6 months.  We will be moving this idea to Product Radar.  Don't forget to bookmark or follow it to receive updates. ...

Thanks everyone for your input. As many of you mentioned there are measures in place to prevent instructors from adding broken links. There has been great recommendations on how others in the community have handled this problem.  Having broken links in the course is the problem here. We will focus our attention there rather than focusing on who gets the error message. ... View more

We love everyone's enthusiasm and suggested work arounds. Given the resources being devoted to other large projects, we aren't going to be able to get this idea in our backlog over the next 6 months. ... View more

The engineers have spent some time researching possible solutions. There are a few "quick and dirty" options out there but none that we felt fully confident in. As the team wraps up the RCS project, we will dig into this more. However, we archiving it at this time since we know it wont get the love in the next 6 months. ... View more

Unfortunately this is not something we are going to prioritize in the next 6 months. We are looking into simplifying the course creation process and this could fall under that. The enthusiasm and dialogue were great to see. We wish we could do it all. ... View more

This type of report will most likely be included once we starts our initiative to improve the outcome reporting. However, I don't believe that project will start until 2017. So at this time we archiving this feature idea. Stay tuned for future Canvas Studio updates. ... View more

We are very confident this will be part of our new quizzing engine. However, I am not confident that it will not get done in the next 6 months. So we are archiving it but that doesn't mean its not happening. We appreciate everyones feedback and conversation! ... View more

Thank you all for the time you took to contribute to this idea. While we understand the use cases mentioned this is a very large investment. Unfortunately, we have to archive this idea since we wont have enough resources to get this done in the next 6 months. ... View more

While this wouldn't be difficult for us to add, at this time we are not going to implement this idea. Our number one concern is student privacy. We would need to add some additional settings and parameters for Canvas admin which complicates the work. We totally understand the need here but protecting the students privacy outweighs the benefit. As always, we so appreciate the dialogue and sample use cases. ... View more

Good news, this has been added to our backlog! I have no timelines available at this point but am confident it will be part of future releases that impact the RCE. Stay tuned with future updates. ... View more

We are currently researching a bigger project that could involve cleaning up the menu bar for instructors and students. We do not have a timeline quite yet. However, it wont be in the 6 months so this idea will be archived. ... View more
