Hello,
I give a daily participation grade to each student, so I want to be able to use the attendance feature to assign grades other than "on time" and "late" and "absent." Is there a way to do this?
Thanks
Hi @ibrown3,
The attendance tool really is made only for tracking attendance, and not so much participation (but I can totally see where tracking participation would be useful too). I think the best you'd be able to do currently for participation is to have a "no submission" assignment (or multiple of these) created to award participation points. It may not be the prettiest thing in the gradebook if you want a separate assignment each day though. I know some people create one assignment, and then use the rubrics feature to track participation through multiple weeks (a "week 1" criterion, then a "week 2" one, etc). Do you think that may work for you? If so, I can provide some guides if you need them. Just let us know!

I'm not sure that this is the right place to post about this, but I was wondering if anyone has a fix for how the scroll bar for the entire page covers the scroll bar for just a document viewed in Canvas. The scroll bar for a document will stay visible until one attempts to interact with it, at which point the bar for the…
Hi There, We are in the process of transitioning to Canvas this year and were wanting to connect with any other MYP schools to see how you setup Assignment and grading under your modules. Or you could guide us to any resources you may have.
After using Canvas for a while, I picked up a small habit that’s saved me some last-minute stress with written submissions. Even when drafts are original, longer explanations and summaries tend to reuse common phrasing, especially in research-heavy assignments. Before submitting, I usually do a quick cleanup pass to reduce…
In the "How do I use the Learning Mastery Gradebook" page, under "Student scores" (https://community.instructure.com/en/kb/articles/660932-how-do-i-use-the-learning-mastery-gradebook-to-view-outcome-results-in-a-course#view-student-scores), the displayed gradebook shows a little colorful square and also points for each…
