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.

Hi all, Quick question about the Gradebook color status for a 2-part checkpoint discussion. If a student completes the first due date (initial post) but does not complete the required replies by the second due date, is there any way for Canvas to automatically show a color (e.g., missing/late) instead of staying as…
