Teaching science online it would be SO incredibly helpful to have students categorize IMAGES of species, rock strata, and other examples of scientific content (galaxies, Earth-space-sun-moon relations, etc.). We are able to add images to multiple choice and I believe matching, why not also add it to categorizing!? Thank you for the consideration and hopeful (actual) implementation of this feature in the near future.

It is absolutely absurd to download all of my student responses as individual files rather than compiled to ONE .cvs file or pdf file. I will post this suggestion here (into this void) with the hope that something will come of it. but like this year, Canvas has proven to fall short in nearly every way possible and has only added to teacher frustration, despair, and mental health issues. How about Canvas actually starts to listen to teacher input and make some changes for the teachers. Take a look at the roadmap they have in place and barely anything reflects teacher suggestions. But what the hay! It's fun to pretend like our suggestions are going somewhere and as though we are being "heard," right!?

Why, WHY is this still an ongoing issue if this has been identified since 2018!!!!!!? CANVAS GET YOUR ACT TOGETHER! There are some serious needs and improvements that have been identified and voted on and commented on and have been open for discussion for YEARS. It is becoming GROSSLY MISMANAGED. Hire some more programmers and dedicate them to JUST dealing with these SIMPLE issues that need to be dealt with ASAP. Please! Canvas has created a WHOLE slew of disgruntled, unsatisfied teachers that is being fueled even further by this useless forum where our suggestions are going into what feels like an empty void! Yet you have a program that is FULL of potential that is filled with holes and inefficiency. The ONLY person that EVERY seems to reply from Canvas is @Stef_retired and maybe she will come through yet again with some positivity (as she always has some silver lining) or at least get a message through to the powers to be! Thank you Stefanie for all that you attempt to do for us to get our voices heard.

I was under the impression that students could see how many attempts they had for all assignments- but apparently they do not! For example, when I assign a Google Cloud Assignment (notes) I allow unlimited attempts but my students do not see that they have unlimited attempts! Please enable this so that my students are aware that they can go back and continue to revise their notes and build on their knowledge and improve their growth until the assignment is locked!!!!!! Thank you!

NicLSim · ‎12-04-2020

@Stef_retired Will this be put into implementation anytime soon? Do we have any updates regarding this?

NicLSim · ‎12-04-2020

@Stef_retired any updates on this?

Our district has purchased Nearpod since it is supposed to integrate with Canvas so well. HOWEVER, a HUGE, ESSENTIAL feature is missing: the ability to observe my students in LIVE TIME! Apparently this needs to be fixed on the Canvas end- NOT on Nearpod's end of the integration relationship. "Thank you for contacting Nearpod Customer Support. Viewing progress is not available when assigned in the Canvas External tool, this is a canvas limitation and not a Nearpod one. You can create a code and post to canvas to view progress but the reports would Not show up in speedgrader." This is a necessary feature as I need to be able to determine if my students are drawing models or solving problems correctly IN THE MOMENT-LIVE---- not after the fact. Is it possible to get this feature enabled in Canvas so that I can monitor student progress WHILE they are engaging in the Nearpod lesson!? Why would Canvas integrate with Nearpod and leave this feature out- it's imperative in this online learning environment that we, as teachers, are able to take advantage of these features.

It would be REALLY helpful to have the terms defined for all not just so that we, as instructors understand what we are looking at, but so that we can effectively make use of the data. Otherwise, the data is pretty useless if I can't tell a parent what "participation" means. Is that simply asking questions via email? Is that answering discussion questions? Is it any interaction within canvas where the student is actively producing some sort of unique submission linked to that individual? OR is it just logging into the course and opening up the tasks---links, assignments, pages, etc.? At the very least please add definitions in the Canvas Guides!

NicLSim · ‎11-17-2020

YES!!! Please, please please! It's SUCH a pain to grade and mark all students with precision and accuracy- late, missing, complete/incomplete because each individual student has to be manually entered as such.

NicLSim · ‎11-16-2020

@ anyone from Canvas have ANY updates on this? This has been requested for 4 years now. Original post was sent in from 2016. Is anyone listening?

NicLSim · ‎11-16-2020

@Amanda_Edlink thank you for being our advocate. It is truly appreciated.

NicLSim · ‎11-16-2020

@Stef_retired it's Fall 2020 and Speedgrader still doesn't let us grade Google LTI assignments. Any feedback on this? I am grateful that LTI is now working with fewer glitches, but the grading of these assignments is EXTREMELY CUMBERSOME. Thank you for any updates as the other post you had referred to has now locked out all other comments. @raudabaughwill and @svonderbruegge make excellent points and I want to second both of them! Anything to reinforce this and get this moved to a top priority status 😉

NicLSim · ‎11-09-2020

YES! Please allow for partial grades for these question types! They can be so powerful but also so damaging without partial credit!

NicLSim · ‎11-06-2020

When attempting to regrade this question type (drag and drop/matching), the instructions state that I CAN change the correct answer .......after 3 hours with customer service and back and forth with email correspondence- no, you cannot do this with this particular question type. So, this is not so much of a "feature suggestion" rather than a correction that needs to be made to the instructions provided in this particular set of coding for this question type in the regrading program.

NicLSim · ‎11-02-2020

Can we please allow for external tools and submissions to be ungraded??? Why do they have to be graded? I'd like to be able to provide my students with a copy of notes that they get to modify for themselves via an assignment that I expect them to complete during class time, but I am not planning to grade that task. Not ALL assignments need to be graded or checked for completion- sometimes, it's just on the students that this get done. For Example: External Tool: Google Drive Cloud Assignment So students can get notes like this: Without having a grade attached or having it show up in the gradebook. or External Tool: Nearpod ---> can't even use Nearpod External tool if you don't grade it with at least with 0 points. WHY!? This is so confusing for students when they look at their grades in the gradebook- there is simply no need for the additional panic and alarm. Thank you.

NicLSim · ‎10-29-2020

@Stef_retired, am I understanding this process correctly that we've gone backwards from moderating to open to open for conversation?

NicLSim · ‎10-29-2020

So Canvas!? Where are we at with this????

NicLSim · ‎10-29-2020

Why can't we get to Speedgrader from within the Quiz details? This is SO incredibly frustrating. PLEASE enable a link/button to launch speedgrader from within the Quiz Page. Or even link it in the three dots as an option- but why are forced to go to either our TO-do list, assignment list, or the gradebook to launch speedgrader? Please streamline these options so that they are all accessible in the same locations.

NicLSim · ‎10-26-2020

Yes, PLEASE!!! I thought I'd be able to do this with Flipgrid, but nope- now I'm hoping that I can grade student submissions within flipgrid using the rubric there and that the grades will integrate. SO FRUSTRATING. It's these little things that make these integrations not effective.
