I agree with this idea. It would be great to have a global library and then one specific to each assignment or a way to create categories that could be named for similar assignment types. Our teachers have been asking for this.

candice_mcphers · ‎03-03-2022

@Nancy_Webb_CCSF I agree that if the reply button is disabled, that it should be disabled for both teacher and student users on a concluded course. I have not seen or heard of this behavior in our instance yet. Our main issue prior was that even when the teacher could reply, the student could not view the message for the concluded course. The teacher thought the student didn't respond, and the student thought the teacher didn't respond. Whatever the ultimate resolution is, I agree it will help all to be consistent for both users.

To echo what many others have contributed, we need at least a full year after critical elements are completed for new quizzes. Some of the most critical elements in our context includes: Inter-institutional export capability (common cartridge) New RCE successfully integrated (to resolve video and media challenges and HTML editing ability along with third party integrations like MathType, etc.) Increased capacity with the number of tests and students in a course and how that affects score passback.

What about putting a default feedback feature at the bottom of each page/assignment/discussion etc. that students can click kind of like social media to give a like, disklike, or question mark to demonstrate how they felt about the content. This could be aggregated somewhere in the course and exportable via CSV for teachers and designers to see how students are feeling about different parts of the content they have provided.

I am not sure that this idea 100% fits the the true definition of AI, but maybe could be a bridge to it? What if we had a feature to add an interactive mascot or "helper" that pops out and overlays the content item for students who have a question about the content or how to do something on the page? Maybe have a New RCE button with a symbol somewhere that can add the "helper" to that page or area and gives extra information about the content in an item? It would also be great to have some default "how to info" that maybe links to the Canvas community guides for certain items where users can find support in the item itself. Organizations could adapt the default help items and embed them or also edit and create their own. Let me know if that is a clear enough description. CK-12 has an AI tutor that is pretty cool that really demonstrates a similar example of this.

What can you share about migration of New Quizzes between different instances of Canvas and common cartridge interoperability with other learning management systems?

candice_mcphers · ‎08-23-2021

Are there any plans for the Observer or other specified roles to be able to see this data in addition to the teacher? It would be great for K-12 if parents and other administrators had the ability to view attendance in a class.

I would like to be able to move multiple videos at time from my global studio into a collection. Use Case: We have an American Sign Language course with TONS of videos. We migrated to Canvas in 2018/2019 and studio collections did not exist at that time. To help organize, we uploaded videos to the course studio to establish some sense of organization. Now, collections are the best way to manage and share videos with teachers of that course. There is no way to move all videos associated with a course into a collection. The only way is to search through all of my videos in global studio and select one at a time to move into the new collection. We really like the collections feature for sharing and managing videos; we just need a good way to move videos into them multiples at a time.

I support this idea. It would be very helpful for workflow.

candice_mcphers · ‎05-14-2021

This idea asks that users be notified if they are trying to reply to a thread related to a concluded course. Our Problem--A student in our organization reached out to a teacher by replying to a thread in a concluded course. The teacher saw the message and responded, but the student could not see the teacher's responses since the course was concluded for them. This resulted in failed communication and both stakeholders frustrated thinking the other wasn't replying. This message behavior may be related to a fix deployed in the idea linked below. While I understand the need for that fix, it is still important that both students and teachers are made aware that they are communicating on a thread tied to a concluded course and their message may not be sent. https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Idea-Conversations/Canvas-Inbox-Messages-Fully-Obey-Course-Participation-Settings/idi-p/372079 Being in the K-12 world, we do have year long courses. We keep the year long content broken in to two semester shells for a variety of important reasons. This messaging behavior without any notification to the user concerns us especially for students who are with the same teacher for the year, but switch course shells in the Spring. We recommend adding an auto-response any time a user replies to a concluded course that their message was not sent. Another alternative would be to disable the reply button on threads related to concluded courses.

@Ron_Bowman Thank you for your support and the explanation of the method you use! I am glad that we at least have that method. Some of our teachers have used this method who feel comfortable with spreadsheets and data prep, but they do sometimes have trouble with students ignoring or not accepting the invitation. Other teachers get nervous about doing the spreadsheet set up and feel safer adding students one at a time. Thankfully we have managed to get our SIS to enroll students in two basic sections for pacing, but when we have our special situations like the early seniors or even our IEP/504 sections that requires a more manual process.

candice_mcphers · ‎03-18-2021

Our teachers regularly use Sections to differentiate due dates and pacing for different groups of students. Adding students to a section is more cumbersome than in other LMSs we've used. Our teachers love Canvas, but this is a consistent request/complaint. We would like the ability to add students to a section using a checklist/selection list of users for the course. If a teacher could click on an existing section and see a list of enrolled users not already in that section to select, that would make section management easier. Example: 30 senior level students are graduating early in the fourth quarter. It would be great if a teacher could create an Early Seniors section, choose those thirty people from a list to add, and then assign the section to items needed with their diversified dates. Existing methods have teachers adding these individuals from the people page using at least three or more separate clicks for each person added OR require complicated enrollment using the student ID--which requires students to accept the "invitation" to see the section and also results in more potential for user error.

We are having trouble importing between different instances of Canvas and institutions that we partner with that need a common cartridge. We planned to start our migration from classic quizzes to new quizzes this year, but if it doesn't have migration ability between Canvas instances and common cartridge/QTI file migration abilities for other systems, I am hesitant to make that change. I do see that content migration is a focus for December 2020? Hopefully that is when these abilities will be integrated.

This feature would also be valuable in our K-12 use case. Moodle allowed different passwords for different groups. Just today we had an issue where a school group we serve compromised the password among students. It would be great to be able to assign a new password to just those students rather than having to issue a new password to all schools. In addition to the option for assigning access codes by section, I would also like to be able to change it for individual students (in the same way you can add more attempts or change time limits for just one person). @paula_mcdougald ‌ @sakhtar ‌ @kirsten_wilson ‌

candice_mcphers · ‎09-05-2019

We could really use this feature. We would like for instructors to be able to override requirement completion for individual students. Moodle now has this feature in its adaptive release function. It happens for Moodle in the area where teachers go to monitor completion. In Canvas, it would be great to add this ability in the "View Progress" area for for student completion of modules. In the list of items to be completed by the student, create a switch teachers can flip to mark that item as complete. Reasoning This would be useful in a number of extenuating circumstances where a single student or more needed to skip a particular item. In our particular use case, sometimes we have to move students to a different instructor's shell to even out enrollments size (for our virtual program, our enrollments are in flux and not always set in stone prior to the term). When this happens, those students temporarily "Lose" their check marks and panic. It doesn't matter if we've given them workarounds or told them not to panic. It is frustrating to them and the instructor. If that instructor could go in and manually give back the checks based on the progress they had made in the previous teacher's course, that would be great! A workaround has been provided here Bypassing Requirements/Prerequisites though it is not ideal for our particular use case.

Agreed, please add this feature!
