With the new filters feature, is there a way to select more than one section filter to display at the same time? I have eight cross-linked sections, and toggling to each one individually is time-consuming.
Hi @JessicaRussler,
Thanks for posting this question! I did some digging and found that unfortunately there is no way to select multiple sections in the Gradebook filters currently. You can select multiple students or multiple assignments in the search fields (guide here) but that functionality does not currently exist for sections.
If this is something you'd like to see implemented in Canvas in the future, the next recommended step would be to document your idea in our community. The best way to share product feedback is by submitting an Idea in the Roadmap section in the Canvas Community. This forum provides users a space to participate in current product priorities and share and collaborate on ideas to improve or enhance Canvas. This is where our software developers will go to prioritize their work. These two articles also dive into this process:
The workaround I can offer is having each section's Gradebook opened in different tabs on your browser so that you can go tab to tab rather than changing the filter each time. I realize this is probably not the most ideal solution, but it may save you some clicks! Let us know if you have additional questions.
I agree with this. The new filter system is way more clicks than it used to be. Now if I want to filter a section, I have to click filters, click sections, click the section I want. And then to change it, I have to clear the filter, and then go through all the original clicks again. I want my dropdown menu back where I can change the section in only one click.
The new interface is much less user friendly for daily grading. Also, the gradebook does not seem to hold teacher preferences so they have to reset their gradebook each day. I haven't had this many complaints since New Quizzes. 😞
I am trying to enable differentiation but it is not coming up as an option in my settings. Can someone help?
I have one student who is unable to see the Canvas quizzes. He can click the link to the quiz in the modules list, but the next page is completely empty (except for the usual Canvas navigation on the left). I can't clear the cookies because of the school security settings, but I have tried him on other Chromebooks and…
I recently had an exam provided as a Canvas Quiz in my class, and used some questions copied from question banks from other sections and prior years of the course. Some of those questions had "General Answer Comment" text already saved in them. I changed that text in several questions as I updated/changed the questions.…
I would like to suggest improvements to how collaborations function within Canvas LMS. Currently, collaborations are somewhat limited in how they can be accessed and integrated into course content. One potential improvement would be allowing collaborations to be directly linkable within Pages and Modules. This would make…
We are using the Learning Mastery Gradebook with an rubric on account-level. When we enter the gradebook, the sorting does not make any sense. How can we make the sorting so it makes sense to us. It feels like a randam sorting.
