Adding my voice to this as well.  We are a 1-1 Apple school, with students having iPads.  We receive training on how to have students create amazing products using iWork software, but it's simply not realistic for a teacher to download hundreds of assignments. ... View more

Just ran into this issue today.  The fact that I have to go in manually to each student in speedgrader, in order to grade the quiz is maddening.   I often have quizzes that have a multiple choice section, and a short response section.  The multiple choice is obviously auto-graded, but I would love for it to show up in my teacher to-do, with the essay questions that still need to be reviewed.  Right now, once a student submits, it marks it as complete and it doesn't show up in my teacher dashboard.  I can't believe that that's the intended action. ...

All of these links seem to now be broken.  Is there any way to get updated links? ... View more

Seriously, I'd be happy with an overhsul of the student selector. I'd rather x out students I don't need,than type all the students I do. On Thu, Jul 2, 2020, 8:12 PM cathy.wilkey@besd.net <instructure@jiveon.com> ... View more

I would also like to add my voice to this.  We have now become a 1-1 Apple school, and teachers are being shown how to use Pages to create interactive worksheets or Keynote to create amazing presentations.  I would love to be able to view everything within the speedgrader, as with 120 kids, downloading, watching, adding comments, uploading, is not practical. Pages, Keynotes, and Number support in Canvas is crucial! ... View more

That would be an amazing option to have. Really, anything is better then the current way of assigning work with a large amount of students that need to be excluded. On Sat, May 2, 2020, 8:57 AM kimberly.smith@sfcollege.edu < ... View more

Agreed with the course navigation issue. I think the way in which students are selected may be the easiest fix, whether it's a checkbox or some other method. On Fri, May 1, 2020, 12:31 PM sara_samples@hotmail.com < ... View more

I also can't believe that this isn't an option. My Use Case:  Students take a comprehension quiz over a chapter, but I have a group of 15 (out of 120) students who get modifications to their quizzes.  It's not a problem to create separate quizzes for them and type in 15 names, but if I don't want the regular quiz showing up, I would have to type in the 105 names and exclude those 15. I think the easiest solution would be to do as recommended above: Block an excused student from completing an assignment.  I've excused students, but if they do they assignment anyway, when I sync my grades to SIS, it includes that excused attempt and I have to go in manually and remove it. Another easy solution would be to simply change how students are inputed into the "assign to" box.  This could change to a checkbox selection with a "check all" function and then unselecting kids it doesn't apply to.  I'm happy unchecking 15 kids instead of typing in (which is a tedius process because you have to type slow for Canvas to not erase what you're typing while it's searching those names) 105 students. ...
