Disable/disallow students from being able to submit an attachment through graded comments
Has a feature been requested by faculty to have Canvas disable/disallow students from being able to submit an attachment through graded comments?
I have occasionally had students do this. I just tell them that they must submit the assignment correctly in order for me to grade it.
Good afternoon, @GloriaGuerra ...
I think I have found an existing Feature Idea here in the Canvas Community that might be similar to what you are asking for. You can find it at:
Disable file attachments in comments for assignment submissions
If you feel that this Feature Idea is similar to something you'd like to see implemented in Canvas, you can leave a comment on that Feature Idea as well as give it a star rating. (More about the star rating system at How do idea conversations work in the Instructure Community?.) Please know that this isn't the only way that Instructure gets feedback from us as end users of the LMS on what things should be developed in Canvas. That is covered in the section called "Discover" on What is the feature development process for Instructure products?.
Hopefully these resources will be of some help to you. In the meantime, I agree with the suggestion from @SusanNiemeyer.
Let us know if you have any other questions about this...thanks!
Still no action taken that I can see. I'm left getting inundated with comments like this "This was pretty fun to do. A nice break." along with comments including questions, request to grade easily because "I really struggled with this" and files being attached to comments. Too many un-actionable comments to sort through to find the students that are trying to ask for help. I post instructions in my syllabi and in the instructions on each assignment to use my official university email to contact me if questions or problems arise while working and not to ask for help in comment sections and also that no work is accepted for grading via comment section posts... students don't read or don't understand what that means.
This may only affect large enrollment courses that have limited staffing, but this is a huge issue for me. I spend the majority of my work time searching through hundreds of comments to find legitimate questions/pleas for help every day or replying to angry emails from students that feel they are being ignored because they posted comments that didn't get replied to even though I've specified that I won't so they need to email me. I would love to be able to devote this time to developing course materials and interacting with students or to helping TAs develop their abilities.
We've had settings to disable comments on announcement for a long time. Please add the same option for comments on quizzes and on assignments.
I assigned the first draft of an assignment. Each student got rubric comments from me and from one peer. The Speed Grader view gives me a "Select Rubric" menu, allowing me to toggle between my comments and the peer comments. But the Gradebook's "Bulk Download Rubrics" command generates a CSV file with only the peers'…
Looking for the addition of partial credit for alternative format questions in Canvas, like ordering and category/matrix. We can only do it in close drop down, matching, and multiple response.
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 have a new React + Flask webapp. It has its own login for users to start using the app. I have added this as an external tool in Canvas. What I want initially is to see of canvas users can start using the webapp without having to login if they click on the external tool link in a canvas course. I have 2 methods…
