assignments index

WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?? - Module info that an Assignment is listed in is now GONE!

Your own documentation: (item #5 below) Indicates that is WAS there and SHOULD be there.

--------------------------------

View Individual Assignment

Each assignment displays the assignment name [1], due date (if any) [2], the number of points the assignment is worth [3], and assignment draft state status (published or unpublished) [4].

You can also set varied due dates for an assignment and create due dates according to course section. Varied due dates appear as multiple dates.

If an assignment is associated with a module, the module name will appear on the individual line item of the assignment [5].

-----------------------------

But now in our canvas courses this is now MISSING. No longer there. What happened? We really need to have the Module Name listed on the Assignment in the Assignment Index.

Please bring it back!

Thank you @jwalz for including the screenshot and for quoting the Canvas Guides document How do I use the Assignments Index Page? I confirmed this same behavior on a couple of Canvas instances where I roam. I will share this feedback in the places where I can, and I hope that you add your voice in a couple of places:

Contact your local Canvas support team. This is the quickest way to get the information to the developers who can update Canvas
Select the Leave Feedback button on the bottom of the Canvas Guides document. This is the quickest way to get the information to the document team here in the Community, and they too will be able to notify the developers

Thank you again for catching this!

I’m going to mark this reply as a solution. I realize it does not solve the problem, but our colleagues who make the same discovery will know the best option.

Thanks for the assist.

The documentation is not the problem. The problem is that someone in the system seems to have removed the excellent feature of the Module name being listed under the Assignment name (which is next to the due date and the points assigned).

It was an EXCELLENT feature and it needs to come back.

To everyone at Instructure - bring it back! Please re-instate the module name on the assignment name next to the due date and the points assigned.

If an assignment is associated with a module, the module name will appear on the individual line item of the assignment [5].

Thanks!

I used support chat to report this as a problem, and was informed it's in process to fix, there is an existing help ticket. You can use Canvas support chat to get your name added to the ticket so you'll know when module information will be added back to the Assignment Index page. Or just wait till it's back. 😄

New Speedgrader UI Showing Student Names
With the new SpeedGrader UI, we are seeing student names appear in the page title even when the “Hide student names” setting is enabled. When using Classic Quizzes, there is no option within the quiz settings to enable anonymous grading, so we rely on instructors using the hide student names setting in SpeedGrader to…
File Name Change

Could "Timeline Visualization" be the Key to Improving the Student Calendar?
We are all familiar with the standard Course Calendar, where assignment due dates are automatically added. 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…
Better Submit Button UI to prevent accidental Submits Message
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…
