I spend a lot of time commenting on Student submitted work. Could Canvas make these comments pop out to students? It is just a little tiny box next to their grade. I think the comment is more valuable than the number grade.
Good morning, @JenniferJaehnig ...
If you would like to make requests for enhancements to Canvas, there is a separate place to do that here on the Canvas Community website. First, I suggest that you read through the links Guides listed under the heading "Ideas and Themes" located at: Instructure Community Guide - Instructure Community (canvaslms.com). Then, when you are ready to submit your Idea, head on over to: Canvas Ideas and Themes - Instructure Community (canvaslms.com). Click on the blue "View and Submit Ideas" button. Then, on the next page click on the blue "Submit an Idea" button.
Hopefully these links will help to get you started on your Idea so that it can be considered down the road. Good luck to you!

However, at my institution, we structure our assignments as Challenges that develop over a period of time, rather than just a single deadline. Currently, the calendar only highlights the "end point." It would be a…
The current placement of the "Submit" button creates a "slip" in user behavior where habit-clicking "Next" leads to an accidental final submission. I think Canvas could easily fix this by: Moving the Submit button away from the navigation buttons (maybe above the question instead of below it) and/or Adding a "Confirm…
This is my first time using the new discussion "checkpoints". I'm hoping the multiple due dates are effective, but using the "checkpoints" does seem to create other problems: They only allow for ONE "reply to topic". The way I use discussions in some of my classes is to allow for students to ask MULTIPLE questions per…
