I would like to merge a 5 point canvas quiz with an uploaded pdf assignment score into an overall chapter score. Is there a way to do this?
Hi @lilliepe,
Each assignment/quiz/graded discussion will have it's own unique column in the Canvas gradebook, and to my knowledge there is no way to combine those columns together, short of making a new single assignment and manually inputting the grades there and deleting the original assignments (which I would not recommend as it would also remove student answers, feedback, etc). Depending what the need is, you could use assignment groups and weighing to put the two assignments into a category and weigh that towards the final grade.
I hope this helps a bit! If it doesn't, could you please provide additional details in what you'd like to accomplish so someone might be able to come up with some alternative options.

Is there a trick to importing a rubric when using the Canvas rubric template?

With the new SpeedGrader UI, we are seeing student names appear in the page title even when the “Hide student names” setting is enabled. When using Classic Quizzes, there is no option within the quiz settings to enable anonymous grading, so we rely on instructors using the hide student names setting in SpeedGrader to…
Speedgrader chaning file name when being downloaded. Speedgrader: When downloading a submitted assignment, the file name is being changed to an unrecognizable name — (Student's actual name was part of the file name — changed for privacy.) Ideas???
We are all familiar with the standard Course Calendar, where assignment due dates are automatically added. However, at my institution, we structure our assignments as Challenges that develop over a period of time, rather than just a single deadline. Currently, the calendar only highlights the "end point." It would be a…
