I absolutely agree. Question Bank features haven't changed in over 6 years. Being able to re-order the questions with the hamburger drag and drop is basic code at this point. I would also love to see a time stamp on every question rather than just the question bank and be able to do a sort/ search based off of content in the question. That way, the older versions of questions asking the same concept could be found easily and deleted when you have a bank with years worth of additions. Even duplicating a question is functionality that is missing that is sorely needed. A true question bank has multiple versions of a question at a university level so that different questions can be asked from semester to semester without duplicating the use of the same question over and over. ...

The merged class, even when viewed per student group still doesn't load correctly. It still shows the link to "show all submissions" even for students that only have one submission and doesn't show the drop down in the top right hand corner of Speedgrader that should appear if there are multiple submissions. It would be nice to see this issue added to the next batch of development patches considering it's been an issue for 2 years. ... View more

I am sorry to hear your idea didn't move forward. It sounds like a good one that I would have up voted! With Canvas being use more among colleges and universities Canvas really should think about the Instructional Designers that are working in creating Master Courses that then need to be duplicated into multiple sections and what the user experience is like for them. Worrying about the end user/ student/ instructor is good form. But, designers need to be thought of as well. ... View more

Susan,  I like the way you think. I honestly though the settings button on the Dashboard the first time I saw it was what would allow me to alter my view from cards to a list. Sadly, I was mistaken.  I was also not really thinking I wanted the view to be a real table because you are right- those do cause massive accessibility problems. I was thinking more along the lines of proper code with CSS <div> tags that give the user access to alter the layout in the list view to be either two or three columns across and then allow one to toss in Headers above the columns. Heck, even just the ability to create folders so that I could toss all my ANTH courses into an ANTH folder, etc. . . in a list view so that I could open/ close the folder like you can do with pages and subpages on a website would be awesome.  Can you tell I like to control the way I organize my computer/ files or what? 😉 ...

Hi Jeff, I appreciate the reminder that course cards can be dragged and dropped into any order we want. Unfortunately, it still doesn't reduce the amount of scrolling I have to do when I am looking for a course in the dashboard. Alternatively, is there a way to make it so that upon logging into Canvas the default view is of my full course list instead of the dashboard? I still have to scroll in there but, at least I have it in list view and can see more courses faster. ... View more
