Why can't Canvas fix it so that assignments don't require points? An incomplete/complete assignment with feedback, but no points should be possible. Like, now. Frustrated!
Hi @PatriciaSulliv2
Generally speaking, assignments in Canvas are set up so that the grade for an assignment can be used as part of the total grade calculation, which means that it needs to have a numeric score or a percentage attached to it.
However, after the upcoming Sept. 16 update, you will at least be able to avoid showing that information to students, using the "Restrict View of Quantitative Data" option. See https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Canvas-Releases/Canvas-Release-Notes-2023-09-16/ta-p/577167#toc-hId-731282810
It'd be nice to be able to limit auto-feedback to section so that when working on feedback in class, your feedback is given by actual classmates rather than students in different sections. This would make it so that the students could ask their classmates questions about the feedback in person!
I think it would be nice to have the option to make the WYSIWYG editor the full height (instead of a fixed position when you open the assignment editor). Then just have the editor tools stick to the top of the page as you scroll through the assignment. This would make is so that you don't have a tiny view to work with that…
Screen readers seem to read out the LaTex and not the equation.
Whenever possible, I prefer to have my students take in-class quizzes and tests on their laptops. But to make sure that they do it in the classroom, I've always put a password on the assessment and then given them the password. That way they can't take it somewhere else on their own (or somewhere else, not on their own).…
I use Respondus 4.0 for loading questions to my pools in Bb and now that we have moved to Canvas, I want to load them to an Item Bank. However, to do this, I need to have them downloadable as a QTI 2.1 option. My options or limited. #1 I can load to a Classic Quiz which my university does not prefer, download the questions…
