Whenever a student turns in late work I have to manually change the grade from missing to late even after I enter a grade. It automatically changes it if I use speedgrader, but not when I am at the gradebook. When I enter my pile of late work at the end of the week it doesn't make sense to go to each speedgrader option…
I have an instructor that says at a previous university, he was able to export all student quiz responses. He wasn't sure if he was using Classic or New Quizzes, but I'm not seeing a way to do that in either one. I showed him the reports, but those aren't what he's looking for, he wants to export all student responses.…

I removed the assigned tags to the page and the one tag to the student thinking maybe if I remove and reassign…
Has anyone found gaps in their course analytics ? I'm currently seeing missing last view date, last participation date, and participations at overall course level, even though the same data is present at individual week and student level. Am also seeing truncated asset counts ie we are seeing only the global header counts,…
It would be very beneficial for observers (parents) if they could view instructor comments. If they had access to this information, they could better understand the grading of individual assignments and better understand the errors that their student made.
I am trying to import a quiz from Cengage Publisher into my Canvas LMS, but the quiz keeps showing up shaded, making it impossible for me to import. What am I doing wrong? I've done it before, but I don't know what I'm doing wrong now. Please help. Thank you.
I would like to know about tokens what are they? Are they something I will need to use ?
