I am an instructional designer at my university's CTL. We had a student call in about an error he was getting during a mid-term where near the save button on the bottom of the page, he was getting an "error" message. He restarted his browser and the work he had done on the free responses were lost. His final is coming up and wants to make sure this issue doesn't happen again. Is there also somewhere where the responses were saved in some type of log that he can find?
Hi @mit2114,
Was this an assignment or a quiz?
If it was a quiz, the teachers could review the quiz log and would likely see records of the text the student has entered into the essay type questions, as it autosaves at certain intervals. Students won't see this information from their end, and the teacher would have to go look specifically to find it in the log, so it's something the student should definitely inform their teacher about whenever it occurs.
If it is an assignment with one big textbox, I don't think there is the same sort of auto logging (because assignments are technically very different than a quiz), but the rich content editor (textbox) should have autosaved the student's content for them. Depending on what the original issue was, it could have also affected the autosaving of content. For issues like that, it's almost impossible to account for every possibility and have a recovery mechanism, especially if the underlying issue is an internet connectivity problem. Hopefully this was just a one-off incident though.
Hope this helps!

Our institution is setting up 9 institutional outcomes in Canvas. Several of our outcomes have multiple skill sets within the rubric. For example: Critical Reading – Skill Set A Critical Reading – Skill Set B Critical Reading – Skill Set C Our understanding is that Canvas Outcomes data reports can provide the overall/total…
I am just curiousas to why there is not a field to enter a description for an outcome at the account level? Or at least edit the rating when you attach/link an account level outcome to a rubric. When you create a new criterion for a rubric, you enter a decription for a rating, but for an account level outcome.
We use a pre- post- model to measure learning which requires student-question matching from two time periods. This requires exporting quiz data to CSV to do the analysis properly. (I can get into more detail if needed.) The New Quizzes Student Analysis CSV export has repeated blocks of ItemID then columns related to that…
Hello! A caution to my fellow Admins and support folks that Instructure updated their live-chat link (the one in the "(?) Help" menu, if you license their Support Chat service) fairly recently, but the old broken one is still online and appears as if it still functions. If someone hits the old link, after entering their…
