I’m currently teaching a large class and I’m looking for ways to automate certain aspects of the grading process for group assignments. Specifically, I’m interested in the following:
Group Assignments: I’ve been using the Group Assignment feature, where one submission counts for the entire group. Is there a way to have these assignments automatically graded as ‘pass’ or ‘not pass’ based solely on whether a submission has been made?
Automatic Feedback: After grading, I’d like each group to automatically receive a text with a suggested answer. This is intended to encourage group work and prompt students to self-grade their answers by comparing them to the suggested answer.
Non-Submission: Groups that do not submit their assignment should automatically receive a ‘not pass’ grade and should not receive the suggested answer text.
Up until now, I’ve been manually grading these assignments and providing feedback, but due to the size of my class, this is no longer feasible. I understand that the LTI tool can return grades and feedback to Canvas, but I’m unsure how to set this up for my specific use case.
Any guidance or suggestions on how to achieve this would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance for your help.
Hello, I am using checkpoint discussions. When I see that I have some submissions in my To Do list to grade, I click on it, go into Speedgrader, and now have to search to see which students have posted or not. It used to designate which students had posts to grade so it was easy to just go to those students. Something has…
A teacher at my school set up her coursework category to "Drop the lowest score" in both Canvas and PowerSchool (we use both). At the end of the semester, 13 of her 78 students had different percentages, with 8 of those being corner cases, resulting different letter grades. And all of those scores were higher in Canvas. I…
I'm not sure that this is the right place to post about this, but I was wondering if anyone has a fix for how the scroll bar for the entire page covers the scroll bar for just a document viewed in Canvas. The scroll bar for a document will stay visible until one attempts to interact with it, at which point the bar for the…
Hi There, We are in the process of transitioning to Canvas this year and were wanting to connect with any other MYP schools to see how you setup Assignment and grading under your modules. Or you could guide us to any resources you may have.
After using Canvas for a while, I picked up a small habit that’s saved me some last-minute stress with written submissions. Even when drafts are original, longer explanations and summaries tend to reuse common phrasing, especially in research-heavy assignments. Before submitting, I usually do a quick cleanup pass to reduce…
