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!

There seems to be a change in my current rubric that it no longer shows different colours when marked via Speedgrader ie Red for Below Standard, Yellow for At Standard and Green for Above Standard. No it only shows Green across all Ratings. Is this able to be fixed?
We have a campus reporting that notes/comments entered directly in PowerTeacher Pro are being removed after a Canvas-to-PowerSchool grade sync runs.

Does anyone have suggestions for bulk aligning questions at the quiz level, not the item bank level? I don't know much about API keys, but would one of these work for a bulk alignment? We have a school that is preparing for accreditation next year and they must get their quiz questions aligned to outcomes. We know they…
The most recent quizzes and question banks (including renames) are not showing up as options in the Course Import Tool. As I was creating a new quiz in one course (Classic), I went to add the questions from the Question Bank, but what I needed wasn't there. I went back to the other course to make sure everything was…
In the wake of the recent Canvas security incident, many instructors are rethinking how they protect their course materials and ensure continuity for students if the LMS becomes unavailable. A common question we’re hearing is how to effectively back up courses “just in case,” especially with an eye toward re‑distributing…
