Hello,
Has Canvas changed how dropped score show in student Grades. The dropped scores are gray text that is difficult to distinguish from non-dropped scores. Before didn't Canvas use an icon to indicate dropped scores.
@lherdan -
I have never looked at my student account grade display before. Looking at it now, I see what you are saying about the dropped grade being slightly gray and somewhat hard to distinguish between an actual grade. I agree that Instructure should make it a little more obvious as to which grade is being dropped - gray out the entire line or put a symbol next to the score as well (which it seems they used to do based on your remarks). Someone else may be able to reply and indicate if previous versions of Canvas denoted a dropped grade in some fashion - i.e. with an icon
It may be too early to create an idea post - without knowing if the dropped grade display is permanently set for how it is now, but you can always go and create an idea at: creating ideas and themes

Is there a trick to importing a rubric when using the Canvas rubric template? I download the csv file and fill in the Canvas Rubric template from the Enhanced Grading feature and nothing happens when I try to upload it. It only shows the file name, but not it's size. Yes, it is still a CSV. I've tried removing all symbols…
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…
