Has anyone used or can tell me about the chrome extension "tasks for canvas"?
https://www.tasksforcanvas.info/
Looking at it, the main goal is to provide a more visual look to the task list normally provided on the right side of the screen. The visual might help students to pay less attention to that spot.
Circling back to this question regarding "Tasks for Canvas" Is there any plan for any sort of percent to completion dashboard? I am finding that students love badges and love to know how close they are to finishing. They like being able to "get it done" and find visuals like this are great motivators to keep them going. They also see this in some of their apps. When trasitioning to Canvas in K-12, this will be super helpful and a great motivator. Soon, those K-12 students will be on the Campus. Something to consider. Maybe on the course card…. 30% Complete based on Date or assignments in the course or something like that. A bar that shows progress?? Could also be in the right "To Do" Navigation Menu?? Just a thought to circle back to.
Hi @DawnMcCarthy-Ha,
Just to make sure thta it's clear, the extension being referenced is not anything officially developed by Instructure. While the Github code repository for the project does show some activity a few months ago, the latest release still appears to be from 2023. Unless the developer fo that extension is a member of the Instructure Community here, there probably isn't any way for anyone to answer any questions about the future of this extenison.
As a short aside about extensions that modify or interact with Canvas, it's important that you understand what the extension is doing and that you trust the developer. Extensions essentially have access to everything you do in Canvas, which can be good but can also be used in bad ways (often without your knowledge).
I hope this info helps!

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…
Canvas Portfolios provide a powerful platform for students to document their learning journey, reflect on their progress, and showcase competencies. However, in programs where multiple educators are involved in assessment—such as team teaching, moderation, or competency-based evaluation—there are important questions about…
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.
