I'm using peer review in Canvas for the first time this semester, and while I appreciate that there's a native function, I have noticed that students are not able to see rubric feedback from each other until I post their grades. Part of my goal with peer review is to help them receive some feedback from each other more…
I feel like it would be extremely beneficial to both the students and instructors to include the option to negate 0's when looking at the average scores. I feel like this gives a much more relevant score to see where everyone is performing, rather than allowing the students who failed to submit anything weigh the entire…
Hi, I advised faculty member against using a new quiz with multiple attempts together with a late submission policy because of these two notes (https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-apply-a-Late-Submission-policy-in-the-Gradebook/ta-p/965) * When taking a multiple-attempt quiz, a student who makes a…
Hello there, Is there a current solution to allow a singular Group Discussion assignment with, let's say, three groups, each with its own prompt to discuss? We could set up three separate discussions with the individuals assigned. But this solution opens the can of worms with assigning users. This course is being developed…
Curious to know if anyone knows how to print out a list of pairing codes for students. I know teachers and admins can print out observer codes using the People button, but only for that class. I tried going to Admin, Settings, Reports, and creating a Provisional report, but I could not manage to get student names and…
When an essay item has a required word count, why isn't displaying the word counter the default? I set up an essay question in an item bank and checked to require a minimum word count and to show word counter. Then I copied the item, replaced the text with a different essay question, and saved it in the bank. Somehow, the…
I want to create a course with Modules. Each module is a video where I share information to other teachers. At the end of each module, they either have a quiz or post to a Discussion Board to complete. I want them to watch the video again if they don't get the quiz answers correct. The idea is that my regional school will…
I submitted this as a ticket and I still have not gotten a response from support. I'm hoping I can get support here as I'm meeting with this group tomorrow. We have created a manual course for a non- degree required, non-credit, but part of curriculum. I have faculty asking the following question: We are wondering about…
I have contacted Canvas and get the same answers with no results. I have the access code ( previous page on the module ), I have gone through all the previous modules and I am at this page and I am not able to Take the quiz. The take the quiz button is greyed out- so it does NOT allow me to click on it and direct me to…
Hey folks. I've been in the LMS space for a while now, and I wanted to hear other people's ideas on how they use SCORMs in Canvas. More specifically - I have a number of courses that I have to build out around a series of SCORM modules. Yes, I know, it's not the most ideal situation, but it's the hand I've been dealt.…
