Hi Canvas I'm a Canvas admin at VUB. One of our students recently contacted a lecturer with the following issue. When the student was assigned an anonymous peer reviewing assigment, they let the lecturer know that the process was more laborious than it should be.  Because anonymous grading was turned on, the student had to manually go through every single submission to find the person she was supposed to peer review. One of our colleagues suggested having students write down their name on the first page of the assignment clearly to shorten the search time (similar suggestions we found here https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Canvas-Question-Forum/Anonymous-peer-reviews/m-p/147413 & here https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Canvas-Question-Forum/Anonymous-Group-Peer-Review/m-p/153689).  The feature idea we would like to propose is to have a partially anonymous peer review option, where students can clearly see the names of everyone who has submitted an assignment at one glance and can easily find the person they are supposed to grade, but students themselves don't know who graded them. Kind regards Annelies & the VUB team   ... View more

I'm a Canvas admin at VUB. Recently, we ran into the issue where a lecturer wanted to provide a limited amount of time slots for which students could sign up. When all slots were fully booked, she received numerous emails from students, who could no longer see those slots, asking if they had already been posted.  We wondered if it would be useful include the option for time slots to still be visible to students (possibly with a visual marker, indicating that they are no longer available) when those slots are taken. This could also be useful if one student cancels and the others can still see what time options were available initially. ... View more
