I'm trying to set up a quiz/survey in which students receive credit for each question they attempt (regardless of whether they answer it correctly) but do not receive credit for questions they leave unanswered. Currently, in the Graded Survey format, it appears that a student who leaves all questions blank will still…
How can I post a video at the discussions post? I am having troubles because the video format is not supported by the Discussions Page. I am working at MyVC (From Valencia College) and I had to publish a video work by yesterday.
After creating courses in my external LTI Cengage (MindTap) and ensuring the links work, the grades do not passback to Canvas once the students complete the assignments as in the previous years. I have Cengage working on it but there may be an issue on the Canvas side. What to do?
Starting sometime last year and with increasing frequency, students' submitted papers will randomly lose formatting elements in the SpeedGrader view. It happens with PDFs, docX, Googledocs, etc. It seems especially to appear if the file originated in a browser-based version of Word 365 or in GoogleDocs, but it does happen…
1. If I don't want the attendance tool grade to count toward student grades, do I have to mark it to not count both in the tool, and in the assignment? 2. If I mark it not to count in one or both places, what will I see in the gradebook? 3. If I mark it not to count, does it matter how many points I assign it? 4. If I…
I have recently added students to a new course page. When I added the students, they were added by their email addresses without their names. The students have manually changed their names in their profile, but these names have not synced over to the course page. Their Canvas accounts are not attached to any grade system.…
I work at an institution where, for historical reasons, Canvas exists alongside Moodle. One thing I noticed about Moodle which, in my humble opinion, is better than Canvas is the "Course Overview" menu. This creates a list of all sections and subsections within a pullout on the left…
The option for ensuring the students can't view their answers until the quiz is ended is missing? I need this because the students are online and they have a week to complete the quiz. I do not want them seeing the answers until the quiz is over.
I am writing to share a concern about how rubrics currently function in Canvas. At the moment, rubrics only total points across criteria rather than averaging them into a single proficiency score. This creates challenges for teachers, especially those using standards-based grading or a proficiency scale (1–4). For example,…
Student's generally do not seem to engage or respond to comments/replies given to them on Discussion posts or Assessment/quiz comments, so I am unsure if they are even seeing this feedback. It would be great to know that they are notified when these occasions occur.
