In speedgrader, When entering a comment then hitting the submit button, a pop up dialogue box with "Your comment has been submitted" covers the zoom controls. Now that's annoying! Any fixes?
Hello there, @Sixecho ...
I tested out posting a comment in the SpeedGrader to a dummy student account in my own sandbox course, and I'm not sure I understand where you are seeing the message covering up zoom controls. Here is what I see in my own SpeedGrader:
I can click on the "x" to the right of the green message, and there isn't anything behind it.
When you say "zoom", are you referring to the Zoom video conferencing software? Or, are you referring being able to zoom in and out to make your screen look bigger/smaller? Maybe a screenshot or a short videocast of the issue you are trying to describe would be helpful? (Please be careful not to share any student identifying information in your screenshots if you choose to go this route.)
Looking forward to hearing back from you soon.
After grading 360 pages of assignments in Canvas, adding many comments, I must say the "Your comment has been submitted" popping up a myriad of times and covering up the zoom controls has become a frustrating annoyance. Since the 2023 positing to which I am replying, there has been no attempt to change the situation. I urge Canvas programmers to rid us of the visual disruption "Your comment has been submitted" and replace it with some other style or type of notification, if it is even necessary to have. Make it time out in four or five seconds. Have a sound play to indicate the submission. A single pleasant tone would be sufficient and quickly ignored if the submitter of the comment must mover quickly to more of the myriad of submissions being assessed.
A colleague asked me how to reuse the questions from the 14 quizzes he has already created as a large question pool to draw questions from for a cumulative exam. Each of the 14 quizzes has multiple question groups, and none of them was linked to a question bank at the time of creation. The best thing I could find is the…

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…
We have recently encountered an issue where two students were unable to see the "Take the Quiz" button. These students were taking different exams for different courses within our Testing Center. Both exams required Respondus LockDown Browser and were restricted to specific IP addresses. In both cases, the students were…
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…
