Agree with this idea.  Our instructors would like to easily 'audit' the peer review contributions. Right now, they have to go into the assignment, peer review, find the students name and right click on each individual peer that they submitted a review for. It would be ideal to have all the peer reviews that they submitted in one place for each assignment. ... View more

This would be very useful. We get a lot of requests from our instructors for this function. ... View more

At the Business school I work at, this was our instructors experience.  They were editing a group assignment comment in the gradebook sidebar and it ended up that only 1 group member received the updated feedback.  Our ideal situation is that the updated feedback given for a group assignment in any area would be updated to reflect for all group members. If that is not possible, very clear documentation on the assignment page and group page that states the expected outcome of using the gradebook sidebar with group assignments. ... View more

It would also be useful to be able to remove a portion of the hyperlink. when you highlight text and remove a link it removes from all of the link, rather than just the specific highlighted text. ... View more

Hi @tim_kato and @mfbutner , Yes, just a few clarifying points.  When the student enters an invalid answer in a rubric used for a peer evaluation, the instructor sees the peer evaluation as 'completed'. this means that a student who does not do the peer evaluation correctly, will still be seen in Canvas by the instructor as being done correctly and get full marks. This also has implications on the students receiving the peer evaluations. If there is no notification or way to identify that a valid peer evaluation was done, the student who submitted their work will get no valid feedback to improve their work.  This majorly reduces the effectiveness of putting in the effort of creating and monitoring this. Once a student fills out an invalid peer eval with the rubric, they are not able to adjust it. So if a student who is evaluating another student makes a mistake and wants to fix it, they are unable to.  Leaving the student who is receiving the feedback with nothing. ... View more

Hi Tim and Steven, We have experienced this as well.  We would also like Canvas to limit the ability for students to be logged into a quiz on two different devices at the same time. We have had several situations where two students were logged in to Canvas under the same account and wrote the same quiz.  Both students wrote the exam (without any indication that someone else was logged in as them as well).  One student completely lost their exam. This was for two final exams, which can be a huge impact on a student’s grade.  Even if there was a warning to the student (e.g. this quiz is already in progress by user) and the teacher (e.g. there are currently two attempts in progress on this quiz) would be a perfect indicator that 1) a student was logged in under the wrong account or 2) one student is logged in on two devices.
