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!

Yesterday, after much trial and error…I concluded the new quizzes matching choice options do not work as I expected, and have used with other LMS. I thought that I could provide students a matching choice quiz with multiple attempts that would report incorrectly answered matches on the first attempt, and display the…
I have seen documentation that says you must recopy your iCal link and resubscribe when you are enrolled in new classes, does this mean my iCal feed link changes each time, or do i just need to re-fetch the .ics file?
We use course pacing to manage due dates, because we run ~20 something courses each quarter and manually setting due dates would be a nightmare. Several courses have two core topics. We want to allow students to choose which of these they will pursue first. Is there any way to configure multiple course paces with different…
Hoping someone can explain for me. We're using pacing to avoid manually dating regular assignments each quarter, but the dates I see are based on when the course was instantiated, while students see dates based on when they were added to the course by [backend software I don't know anything about, presumably]. If I set…
Has anyone else had issues with an influx of duplicate users in Canvas? Ours is currently in the form of an email that already exists, becoming a new user - and not automatically merging with the user ID with the same email that also is linked to our SIS ID correctly as well. For example, user 1 is xyz@gmail.com without a…
