Hello!
I would like to have access to Emojis, Reactions (like on Zoom), GIFS, and other interactive ways to provide feedback and add comments to assignments.
Is this possible? In the works?
Thanks!
I'm not sure about reactions and gifs, but emojis are already available in Speedgrader when you are providing student feedback! However, your institution might not have turned them on for your school or you might need to manually enable them in your course. So if you aren't seeing them as an option, reach out to your campus Canvas folks.
The Canvas feedback comment guide has a section on adding emojis that explains the process and what you would be looking for.
Additionally, most of Canvas supports Unicode - so you can put in just about whatever characters that you want, such as all the emojis - https://unicode.org/emoji/charts/full-emoji-list.html and other UTF8 characters such as shown below:
You can even put these characters into module names, page titles, etc.

I tried the Quick Reassess feature today. Once I approved the questions and created the assessment it went to the tracker for Block 1. But I can't find the new assessment in my assessments to add to Blocks 2 & 4. If I have to recreate for each class, they won't have the same questions. I also cannot find the option to…
Hello, I’m wondering if Differentiation Tags can be configured as part of a Blueprint course. Our goal is to store differentiated content (pages, assessments, etc.) centrally within the Blueprint and have it already associated with specific Differentiation Tags (e.g. Support, Core, Extension). After the Blueprint is…
Dear Forum members, In the past, I asked students to hide some worksheets in the Excel files they would upload to Canvas. I was only interested in the results of their Excel analysis, and asked students to hide the worksheets with raw data in them. This worked until last Fall, but now SpeedGrader is rendering all…
