Is this also fixed for the framework, we can replicate this issue still.

Hi, in addition to, or following on from other peoples comments, we recently took a good look at the new enhancements and have a couple of issues with the new feature: Reviewing Peer work Message When a student access the space to assess other students work, the following message is displayed: “Details: Please submit your work here and then review your peers work.” This message doesn’t make sense, as the student has already submitted their own work. Can the wording be changed to “Please review your peers work”. Timely Peer Review How does the tutor know when students have finished peer reviewing? It would be useful if the student reviewing work could have a submit button so that the tutors know whether the student has finished their review. There are some similar requests in comments by other users. Tutors risk marking the reviewer when they haven’t finished marking. Guidance to help students peer review There’s a lack of guidance for students when they complete a review. What’ the students next steps? Should they use a rubric? Should they annotate on the work or just add comments? Is it up to the student? This information could be added to the initial assignment, but it would be useful if there was an area that provided specific guidance to reviewers when they are reviewing. Tutors View of a students submission has not changed When a tutor accesses the students submission from the peer review window, the old assignment window loads: Reviewing Reviewers Part of the peer review process can be awarding marks to the quality of the review. There aren’t any processes for this inside Canvas.

Hi there, In regards to your points, 1 & 5 - I agree, I raised this issue in this blog post: https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Assignment-Enhancements-Users/Position-of-attached-files-on-assignment-enhancements-submission/td-p/539738 We have not yet released this tool, but its interesting to see that this issues it is filtering through to your support. I also raised the issues of using a smaller screen resolution here too. 2 - The positioning is a bit odd, on my smaller screen resolution, if I have the large box for uploading in sight, I don't necessarily see the items upload due to the screen space. 3 - I hadn't anticipated this, but yes I can see what you mean. 4 - this is something that was already highlighted in this post: https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Assignment-Enhancements-Users/Resubmission-Button-Text/m-p/529102#M200 by @v_insalaco which I wholeheartily agree with and also left a comment.

Problem statement: The new 'submit assignment on behalf of student' idea in the canvas release notes for 18/03/23 does not apply to admins: https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Canvas-Releases/Canvas-Release-Notes-2023-03-18/ta-p/558537 Proposed solution: It would be useful for admins to be able to submit work on behalf a student too in the same way. Admins can obviously act as a student, but it would be much simpler if the same process for submitting applies to admins as they now do for tutors. User role(s): admin,instructor

threaded replies aren't available in the new version of the discussions tool though are they? Or have I missed something?

b_w_reid · ‎10-13-2022

Hi @DanielVR , I think you're absolutely right, the creation of rubrics, isn't as easy as you might expect. Moving and reordering things around can be problematic. These sorts of developments however don't really fit in with these recent assignment enhancements - as these are student facing. They tie in more with the creation of assignments and rubrics. It might be worth adding your comments to the general community if there isn't an idea already. I'd be happy to vote on it!

b_w_reid · ‎10-03-2022

Hi @chriscas, yes I think the TII checkbox has always been at the bottom, but I think the placement of the attached files has moved. So if you're looking at the files on my screen, you can't see the TII checkbox, and there's no error message to indicate that this (tii checkbox) exists when you're trying to submit.

b_w_reid · ‎09-23-2022

I've just had a look at the new turnitin developments in the assignment enhancements. I'm pretty sure the position of the attached files have moved, but this does not appear in the change log. Can anyone else confirm whether they have been moved? I'm pretty sure they used to be on the bottom? The reason I'm raising this is because the turnitin acceptance button appears at the bottom of the page: I use a laptop, and I can't see all the content on the page. I have to scroll up and down to see all the content. I worry that some students won't see the 'end user licence agreement' and not be able to submit. If the button is not checked the submit button is grayed out and does not tell you how to resolve the issue. If the attached files were placed at the bottom, it would mean that the students don't need to scroll up and down and will be able to see the 'end user licence agreement' alongside their attached files. Alternatively it might be useful to prompt students if the submit button is greyed out so that they know how to resolve the issue. Thanks Bethan

We've been keeping an eye on the assignment enhancement developments for some time now. The feature has undergone some significant development since its first iteration and I think these changes work really well. We hope to release this in the new academic year, but there are a few outstanding items which we feel could should be looked at. Other community members have already raised: The terminology of the 'try again' button The 'More' button for assignment types Availability of Turnitin Score We also felt that the following items would benefit from additional development: Comments/View Feedback Button When students submit their assignment, they see a 'comments' button, but once feedback has been submitted the very same button displays 'view feedback'. I think there needs to be better consistency here, perhaps by calling it 'Comments/View Feedback'. I don't think the change in terminology is particularly helpful. Attaching a File I have reviewed this alongside my colleagues and we felt that with the 'Attach File' submission, these two options should be switched. Placing the 'drag a file here' on the left and 'canvas files' on the right. For the most part, students submit files directly from their computer, so this should be the first option they see. Attempt Labelling I've noticed that when a student views the attempt box, attempts are labelled as Attempt 1, Attempt 2 etc. When a tutor views the attempts in speedgrader, these attempts are time stamped. It would be much better if attempt labelling was consistent between these roles by adding the 'Attempt 1' etc to the grade centre, followed by the time stamp e.g. Attempt 1 - 19th July at 14:10. Admins When an admin is enrolled on a course as a student, they cannot access any of the assignment enhancements. This is a little frustrating, as although we can masquerade as other students, we cannot use the 'office 365' option. Rubric Feedback When rubrics have been used to provide feedback, it's not that clear which feedback has been selected. I understand that in terms of accessibility, colour can not be used to convey information, but can this be mare more prominent in any way?

b_w_reid · ‎07-20-2022

We would prefer the option to select office without being in the kebab menu. Is there the possibility of configuiring this at account level so that we do not need a kebab menu? Institutions can then select which options appear directly within the assignment? Which tutors can then select as part of the file upload option? I'm just thinking everyone's take on this will be different, so being able to manage this locally might be a better solution?

b_w_reid · ‎07-18-2022

I agree that 'New Attempt' would be preferrable and less confusing.

b_w_reid · ‎07-04-2022

Hi @erik_gustafson, The rubric is collapsible, students can minimise this should they wish to. We fed back on this development citing that Rubrics should be available inline with the submission. Students should'nt have to alternate tabs to see the requirements of the coursework before they submit. The submission details or description are also collapsible. So that if the students wants to they can hide all this information.

b_w_reid · ‎06-23-2022

@v_insalaco , I also agree with this, it might be confusing to students in terms of where they are in the submission process. Is this button only available if they've failed the assignment or is it always there once the student has submitted?

b_w_reid · ‎03-07-2022

Hi, I've created an idea for the submissions filter here: https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Idea-Conversations/Gradebook-Filter-for-Submissions/idi-p/513828#M64867 I thought I might also share it here for the feature user group!

b_w_reid · ‎03-04-2022

We really like the new 'Filter' option in the gradebook, but the 'submissions' filter is a bit limiting. It would be much better if it also filtered which students have submitted or not submitted. Currenltly it only displays or hides the assignment column in the gradebook. Often tutors want to quickly establish who has not submitted. If it could filter the students as well as the column, this would be really beneficial.

b_w_reid · ‎02-10-2022

Hi, I can't see these changed documented here: https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Discussions-Announcements/Discussions-Announcements-Redesign-Release-Change-Log/ta-p/478033 Willl they be added before the update?

b_w_reid · ‎11-18-2021

Hi @Stef_retired, Thanks for clearing this up! 👍

b_w_reid · ‎11-18-2021

When grading a new quiz in speedgrader, it would be useful if the comment icon included an indicator to denote that feedback has been added in this space. When adding additional comments to quiz questions in speedgrader, you click on the comment button, and then click 'done' to add it. This closes the dialogue, so that as you are scrolling through you: either lose place of where you last added feedback you are unable to tell when reviewing feedback where comments have been added. Will an indicator be added to the comment icon as part of new quizzes ongoing developments?

b_w_reid · ‎11-18-2021

Apologies if I've missed an existing idea about this, but i can't seem to link from a page to a New Quizzes quiz. When using the 'course links' option in the Rich Content Editor, the sidebar opens, but does not list any 'New' quizzes.

b_w_reid · ‎11-18-2021

Hi Canvas Community! I was just wondering what the rationale is for including 'assignment type' in the New Quizzes edit page? As far as I can see, you can't edit this and it takes up quite a lot of screen space. Wouldn't it be better hidden?
