Practice Quizzes would not entirely solve my problem as I have third party software that sends grades to the gradebook as assignment grades. I need the ability to make an entire category ungraded and not show in the student gradebook or if a category is weighted 0% I need it not to show in the student gradebook. I would be painful (because of the number of assignments), but I would accept a temporary solution of if I mark an assignment as "not included in student grade" then it would not appear in student grade book. The reality is if a student sees 60+ assignments (even if half are additional practice and not graded) the student panics. For student mental health, only assignments that count towards their grade should be shown in their gradebook.

Any updates. Our Administration is asking for practice assessments to be added to our courses. Adding these to my course is confusing students when they look at their gradebook as they automatically think that something that appears there is part of their course grade (even when it states "does not count to course grade"). I need to be able to hide all assignments in my "additional practice" category from the student's gradebook view. Only assignments that count towards a students final course grade should be in the student gradebook view.

As a math instructor being able to type math in the comments section when correcting papers would be beneficial. Being able to annotate a textbox entry in the same way you can annotate a submitted document would be outstanding.

I could not agree more. If I have counted correctly it now takes about 5 clicks to add a file/image instead of the 2 in the original RCE. Other issues are that the default for displaying the files is oldest first and the files are pulled from the folders that they are stored in. Present the list with the folders

Katrina, Warning Answer contains html coding -- I do not know html and this answer is based on observation and experimentation In answer to your question 3: The html coding that the file is given when it is inserted has changed to one of the following - depending if you are going into html before or after saving and attempting to preview (differences highlighted) This if you look at the code prior to saving and testing the preview button <a id="78209308" class="instructure_file_link instructure_scribd_file" title="Link" href="https://community.canvaslms.com/courses/989335/files/78209308/preview?wrap=1" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-canvas-previewable="true">Course COR.pdf</a> This if you saved, tested the preview button then the code has been changed to <a id="78209308" class="instructure_file_link instructure_scribd_file" title="Link" href=" https://ivylearn.ivytech.edu/courses/989335/files/78209308/preview" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-canvas-previewable="true" data-api-endpoint=" https://ivylearn.ivytech.edu/api/v1/courses/989335/files/78209308 " data-api-returntype="File" >Course COR.pdf</a> Both of these are different from what is used in the old RCE. You can adjust the html coding (if you are comfortable doing so) to make it work. I don't know html, but through comparing the html code in the New RCE and the Old RCE and experimentation I did get it to work with minimal changes If you change preview?wrap=1 (prior to saving and testing preview) or preview (after saving and testing preview) (highlighted above - either option) to download?wrap=1 (highlignted below) the in-line preview option should work Code after saving and testing preview is shown below <a id="78209308" class="instructure_file_link instructure_scribd_file" title="Link" href=" https://ivylearn.ivytech.edu/courses/989335/files/78209308/download?wrap=1 " target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-canvas-previewable="true" data-api-endpoint=" https://ivylearn.ivytech.edu/api/v1/courses/989335/files/78209308 " data-api-returntype="File">Course COR.pdf</a> If you want the in-line preview to auto-open you need to add auto_open (highlighted below) along with the change made above Code after saving and testing preview is shown below <a id="78209308" class="instructure_file_link instructure_scribd_file auto_open " title="Link" href=" https://ivylearn.ivytech.edu/courses/989335/files/78209308/download?wrap=1 " target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-canvas-previewable="true" data-api-endpoint=" https://ivylearn.ivytech.edu/api/v1/courses/989335/files/78209308 " data-api-returntype="File">Course COR.pdf</a>

Had the same issue, added a new document and could not find it until I sorted alphabetically. When viewing documents added in date order, my most recent documents did not show.

Need help with the New Rich Content Editor. Each of the following I was able to do in the previous Rich Content Editor, but I cannot determine how to do the same thing in the New RCE, am I missing something or has the ability been removed? 1) Create a hyperlink to a new page (I appear to only have the option to link to an already existing page) 2) Delete all hyperlinks on a page at one time by highlighting using control A to select all and clicking break link (I seem to have to do this one link at a time) 3) I use to be able to embed media into my content page by selecting insert/embed media icon and then selecting the Embed tab where I could paste in the iframe code. (I embed graphs from Desmos.com for my math students). With the New RCE I have to switch over to html view and try to figure out where I need to insert the code. 4) Inserting links to multiple assignments/pages/... seems to have gone from a 2 step process to a 5 step process since each time you create the link you have to go through all the drop down menus and find the files instead of having them in a pannel on the right side of the screen. 5) When editing a page, the New RCE is sometimes automatically expanded to show all your content at once so that the tool bar is not on the screen and you have to do a lot of scrolling up and down just to use the tools to insert links and content. In the old RCE the editor was of a size that allowed for the tool bar to be always on the screen -- user could expand the window if they wanted. Is there a way to decrease the size of the New RCE so that the editing tool bar does not go off screen? Overall I find the New RCA cumbersome, time consumming, and a significant down grade from the previous version. Any help in making it more friendly and usable like the old version would be really appreciated. (Note my institution did not make using the new editor optional)
