I think I already know the answer to this question but I thought I would double-check. Per the Canvas guides, in order to award students full credit for a question in New Quizzes, you have to go into Speedgrader, then go into an individual student's attempt, locate the question in question, select regrade, and follow the prompts to award full credit. However, if a question is pulled from an item bank, this process does not work well. The Quiz and Item Analysis report tells you how many students answered a question incorrectly, but does not tell you WHO answered the question incorrectly.  My question is, if you want to regrade a question pulled from an item bank in New Quizzes, do you really have to hunt through individual student attempts in Speedgrader until you find the question you wish to regrade? ...

Hello fellow Canvas users! Last week, instructors contacted me because they started receiving an error when switching between discussion groups. Here's a screenshot demonstrating an example. Let's say I wish to change from 4204/5204 Group 1 to 4204/5204 Group 9: When I select 4204/5204 Group 9, I receive the following error message: Now, to resolve this issue, I can simply select "Discussions" from the group's navigation menu on the left, and I'm brought to 4204/5204 Group 9's discussions. Not really an issue at this point, because it's an easy fix. However, some of my instructors who receive that error message do NOT see the group's navigation menu: In their case, they have to exit the course completely, reenter the class and select the new discussion group that they wish to view. I met with an instructor on Friday to see this issue first-hand and it's pretty odd to say the least. I've tried using different browsers, private browsers and clearing browsing history to prevent the error message from showing in the first place, but it doesn't fix the problem. My questions are: Is anyone else experiencing this error as a result of the interface change? If so, have you found a solution? Thanks! Sarah           ... View more

I work with a few instructors who have reported odd grading behavior in Canvas when they review fill-in-the-blank questions.  Before I start sharing examples, I want to mention that 1) instructors are using old quizzes not New Quizzes, 2) instructors were not entering additional correct answers midway through grading the fill-in-the-blank questions, 3) the instructors were the only person grading the quizzes at the time these issues occurred, and 4) most unfortunately, these issues seem to occur at random times, with random questions, and not with all students. With all of that being said, I've included screenshots of the issues to illustrate the problems.  First, at times, Canvas awards full credit for student answers that are not even close to the correct answers: Second, at times, Canvas awards full credit for a partially correct answer.  I thought that answers for fill-in-the-blank questions had to match exactly, but perhaps I am mistaken: Lastly, at times, Canvas awards partial credit for an answer that is partially correct.  Again, I thought answers had to be an exact match and I'm not sure why this answer was awarded half-credit the previous example was awarded full credit: Basically, what ends up happening is that instructors have to manually grade all of the students' quiz attempts in the course question-by-question.  This is obviously quite tedious.  I was curious if anyone in the community noticed these types of errors as well and, if so, what (if anything) can be done to solve the problem. Thank you for your time and guidance! Sarah ... View more
