Is there a way to let other teachers in a course know that you've made a submission comment for a student in Speedgrader? Would be great o be able to @ a certain teacher as a way of keeping supervisors in the loop.
Hi @shelby_hanna ...
Not that I know of. There is a general "Notes" column that you can enabled in the Gradebook for each student, but you can't @ mention someone like you can on social media. How do I use the Notes column in the Gradebook?
One way you could possibly do this as a work-around is by using the Discussions re-design. In the re-design, you can mention other people. However, if you turn it on in your course, it's for all discussion topics...so students would have access to it as well. So, you'd want to first try out the re-design to make sure it would meet your needs before enabling it for an entire course. You may have to speak with your school's Online Learning / eLearning / Distance Education team first to get it enabled. The idea here would be that you could have an unpublished discussion topic in your course that is meant only for you and other instructors. Then, you could essentially have a private discussion topic and post a message mentioning other instructors when you've posted a grade comment. It would be another step in your grading process...to be sure.
How do I mention a user in a discussion reply in Discussions Redesign as an instructor?
As another option, you could submit this as an idea here in the Community for people to evaluate. First, go to this page and look at the section on "Ideas and Themes".
Instructure Community Guide - Instructure Community (canvaslms.com)
Then, on this page, click on the blue "View and Submit Ideas" button: Canvas Ideas and Themes - Instructure Community (canvaslms.com). On the page that follows, click on the blue "Submit an Idea" button. Here is where you can begin to create your idea...and it may even find an existing idea that someone else has already created. If that is the case, then you don't need to submit again...to avoid duplication of submitted ideas.
I hope this will be of some help to you.
Yesterday, after much trial and error…I concluded the new quizzes matching choice options do not work as I expected, and have used with other LMS. I thought that I could provide students a matching choice quiz with multiple attempts that would report incorrectly answered matches on the first attempt, and display the…
I have seen documentation that says you must recopy your iCal link and resubscribe when you are enrolled in new classes, does this mean my iCal feed link changes each time, or do i just need to re-fetch the .ics file?
We use course pacing to manage due dates, because we run ~20 something courses each quarter and manually setting due dates would be a nightmare. Several courses have two core topics. We want to allow students to choose which of these they will pursue first. Is there any way to configure multiple course paces with different…
Hoping someone can explain for me. We're using pacing to avoid manually dating regular assignments each quarter, but the dates I see are based on when the course was instantiated, while students see dates based on when they were added to the course by [backend software I don't know anything about, presumably]. If I set…
Has anyone else had issues with an influx of duplicate users in Canvas? Ours is currently in the form of an email that already exists, becoming a new user - and not automatically merging with the user ID with the same email that also is linked to our SIS ID correctly as well. For example, user 1 is xyz@gmail.com without a…
