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!

We have enabled the automatic migration of Classic to New Quizzes. When we import QTI files, though, they always fail to load as New Quizzes. If we disabled New Quiz Migration, it works. Why does it only work for Classic Quizzes? Are there any guaranteed tools that will generate QTI files that will import correctly as New…
Is it possible to change the system-wide notification defaults for a hosted Canvas instance? Since I can't find a way to do it, nor any reference to doing it, I'm assuming not but wanted to make sure before I give that as an answer.
Hi everyone, I had a teacher reach out with an odd (and concerning) LockDown Browser issue and wanted to see if others have experienced something similar. A student was taking a quiz using Respondus LockDown Browser on a Chromebook 300e Yoga G4 (8GB), a 2‑in‑1 device that can flip into tablet mode. During the active quiz,…
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…
