Hi In assessment situations, our organisation currently uses observations quite extensively for assessing Performance Tasks. Moving the format of current assessment templates to the Canvas rubric has proven to be quite challenging, due to the lack of any sort of enhanced editing/formatting capabilities within the rubric. It is not really satisfying our requirements as it stands. Not sure if there are any others in this VET space that have any thoughts on this. Just an embedded RCE would be a good start. The reason for this post, is if you would like to see some development in this space, there is a post up on the Idea exchange if you would like to contribute/rate   Hyperlinks and Basic Formatting in Rubrics - Instructure Community (canvaslms.com)   thanks and regards Andrew   ...

Searching for good strategies or a tool to manage multiple observations at once. Scenario: A teacher is managing multiple students in a workshop and needs to acknowledge individual student achievement and make comment against identified performance tasks. Currently they are using a rubric attached to an assignment on a mobile device however the challenge is they must use the dropdown box, arrows or open multiple tabs. This can lead to confusion while undertaking multiple observations at once. The unicorn solution: A way to mark off performance tasks against a group of students, acknowledging individual achievement, not a group assignment. Ideally a rubric (or similar) that lists the student group and tasks, feeding the marks into the speedgrader or individual assignment/rubric. We have explored the use of outcomes in this scenario however the challenge of how to mark individual achievement against a group of students remains. Looking forward to any creative solutions or comment.   ... View more
