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.
I have Canvas set to drop the lowest quiz score, however, my students can only barely tell that the grade text is slightly grey when dropped. Can it have a tag like the "missing" and "exempt" ones in the student gradebook?
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…
