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!

My Canvas shell has three different sections that all meet at different times throughout the week. I need to be able to batch edit assignment due dates by section, but right now Canvas can't filter by section for batch edit. My only option is now to manually (tediously) edit due dates for each assignment individually.
Morning! One of the more frustrating aspects of Canvas are groups and the issues that show up when copying courses that have them. But now we have yet another issue. Most recently we have had instances where people mark an assignment/discussion as a group assignment but then do not link the discussion or assignment to any…
So, we have encountered a few assignments where the Speedgrader presents the teacher with the "Empty Course" page, even though the course is not empty. I have discovered two New Quizzes in the same course where this has occurred, despite multiple students being assigned (at Module level, which passes the permission down to…
A teacher has expressed concerns with the recent update. Exact concern is as follows: "My Canvas has been acting glitchy since the last "update." For instance, when I grade essays the highlight and cursor tools do not always work. I have to try highlighting several times,or come back later to finish. It's told me I "ran…
A recent change my students have been complaining about is that they now have to wait for Canvas to process submissions so that it can be displayed within the browser before they can check that the submission worked. When the servers are heavily loaded I have seen student need to wait 5 minutes for this. When submitting at…
