Yes, @KristinL , that's right!---I'd like to have the ability to allow a single Rubric to override the entire Quiz score. (If there's even such a thing as a 'Quiz score' when this imaginary checkbox is checked off: I'm envisioning a scenario where I check off the box, and then point-value scores disappear from all questions, the "fudge points" box disappears from the Speedgrader, and the only thing that matters for the grade is the Rubric I create or find for the Quiz assignment.) Hope this helps! ... View more

Just to add my cents: I agree and want even weighting within assignment categories regardless of point values. And if I can't have that, I want the option to restrict students from viewing their grade totals, because the picture Canvas gives them is not accurate. ... View more

If I've told students once, I've told them a thousand times: "your homework should be one single file when you upload it". So, of course, what I get is half the students uploading a separate file for each page of their submission. A multiple-file submission takes longer to grade in SpeedGrader, because the annotations take a few seconds to re-load when I switch between files in a single student's submission, and I can't scroll up to remind myself what I wrote on the student's previous page (because it's in a different file!). It also makes the likelihood almost zero that a student will read all of my feedback/annotations across their different files. (Why would they, when they already see their number-grade and they'd have to click through 10 different files to see all of my comments?? Remember, the SpeedGrader is slow to load files with annotations!) How can I insist that students upload just one single, solitary, lonesome file when Canvas is always helpful enough to provide the "Add Another File" button? At the time of creating Assignments, can instructors be given the option of disabling this infernal "Add Another File" button? ... View more

Agree that this a feature idea whose time has more than come, and that Chrome-only plugins do not constitute a solution. It would be nice to have comments that I could use not only across assignments, but across all the courses I teach. Things like, "I left some comments as Annotations on your submission. Click "View Feedback" to read them!" and a couple other 'tech-supportish' ones are used over, and over, and over again. ... View more

Yes! I want to do this, too, because there appear to be some glitches with the ability to allow replies on student-created in-group Announcements, but I need to play with the tools as a Test Student before I can formulate a question about it. ... View more

I would also like to be able to share a link to *my* contributions to Canvas Commons. Is there a way that this capability can be added for a user?--To compile all of the user's submissions and allow a permalink to that? ... View more
