Why can't we turn off percentages in the Canvas grade book? Please make it so that students are unable to see a percentage in the overall grade unless the teacher selects this option. 🔎 This idea has been archived.

@Stef_retired When I inputted the grade in gradebook it did not show up in Speedgrader. I see now that it's working. I also notice that quite frequently there are delays between 'components' in Canvas. I grade something in Speedgrader, for example, and it still shows it needs to be graded in the to-do list. Is this the same with gradebook-to-speedgrader integration? Is there a way to avoid these delays?

Once again Canvas manages to make extra work for teachers. This time, amazingly, I find that when I post a grade for an assignment in the GRADEBOOK it doesn't register in Speedgrader. Forget about why I need this to happen. How is it not the case that it does? When a teacher inputs a grade for an assignment anywhere, it should post everywhere in Canvas. Am I missing something? Can someone please 'flip this switch' ASAP? Thank you!

When I click on a student, I'd like to immediately see all student-teacher communications that have happened (inbox, submission comments, etc.) listed out by assignment/activity. This should then be linked to those particular assignments (or to the inbox if applicable).

Currently, if I read/respond to a message in Canvas through my email, the message still shows as unread in Canvas. This partially defeats the purpose of being able to use Canvas inbox through email. Can this be changed so that Canvas inbox recognizes replies/reads that have happened through a connected email address? Thanks.

In Canvas inbox we should be able to click on a student's name (the sender) and be navigated directly to the info on that student (gradebook, etc.). This should also go for the course (course page). The number of clicks we have to do to go from the inbox, to the course, back to the student, back to who knows where to find the assignment being asked about is problematic to say the least.

As far as I can tell, currently SpeedGrader/Canvas only shows a total number of 'ungraded' assignments. Is there anywhere I can quickly see the number assignments submitted vs. not submitted? This would be very helpful.

Include a drop down list of all assignments for a particular course (searchable?) in the Speed Grader window so the teacher doesn't have to go back to Assignments/Modules to bring another one back up.

@Stef_retired Thanks!

This would be helpful. Fewer clicks to get directly to other locations.

When clicking on a student name, there could be a drop down (or other method) to immediately go to beginning a message to the student. This should be wherever the student name is visible throughout Canvas, but ESPECIALLY in the people page.

When a student sends an email/message in Canvas, it currently only shows the original section title. This title is often not helpful and later renamed by teachers (ex: Period 2). Can the renamed section be included in the subject line? This would helpful.

Currently, it appears the Student Interactions Report only shows grades in percentages, and will not use the custom grading scheme. Whichever grading scheme is selected for the course (including custom schemes) should be the default grading scheme for the Student Interactions Report.

@Stef_retired Thanks!

It's unclear to me how one "up votes" an idea in this platform. Is it the star rating? Or is there another way? In my mind that should be the most prominently featured part of the UI here.

When students re-submit their work, the original feedback from the teacher is saved. Additionally, students can indicate they've 'accepted' or 'rejected' the feedback (similar to Goggle Docs Comments).

When writing in annotations on speed grader the 'accept or trash' icons pop up way too close to the annotation so it's very difficult to keep writing. Change this so that these icons/buttons are well out of the way of the annotations. A possible solution is that the annotation is accepted by default, and to delete it is a separate process.

When students post a comment (or reply) in Speed Grader, the teacher receives an email/Canvas notification immediately with the comment, and an option to reply directly to the comment through that notification/email. There's also a one-click navigation to that particular Speed Grader page with the assignment.
