I'm trying to figure out whether Canvas Portfolio will work for me this year with my 11th graders. We are introducing a curriculum that has a portfolio component but does not specify the platform. I would like to try Evaluation Portfolios but am confused by the information in the guides. The Guide for Portfolio says Once…
I am setting up my courses for this year and I realized that when I opend the mastery-based gradebook, there is no color coding. When I open last years's course that had color-coding last time I opened it in the spring, it no longer has colors. The colors appear in the individual student view, but not in the all class view.
I have a course with combined sections, and I'd like to be able to limit students to interact with their own section only. I know how to do this for one student at a time (explained here), but I have over 500 students. Does anyone know if there's a way to do this in bulk? Thanks, Alistair

Here is a screenshot from an attempt to create a new Athena account. What does it mean when it says "supports open Canvas connections" or "Canvas Connection Open"? Can we close our Canvas instance to connections?
I really like the ability in speedgrader to make screencast (video) comments. However, I would like to know if the student viewed them. I see that the recordings do show up in the course files under 'uploaded media', but I see no way to get the analytics on these. Thoughts?
