I have an interesting and somewhat annoying situation. * I have a first year Business subject with 1700+ students. * 108 students has been allocated to a marker for an assessment. * These students are across sections so we created a new section and added the 108 students. * The subject is live so invitations went out to students but not all have accepted the invitation or visited the Canvas site since then. * The new section can be filtered in Gradebook and all students are listed. * However Gradebook has only 83 students those who have accepted the invitation or been back to the Canvas site. is there a workaround, or a way, to get ALL students to show in SpeedGrader, in a new section?

Adding a section and SpeedGrader

I have an interesting and somewhat annoying situation.

I have a first year Business subject with 1700+ students.
108 students has been allocated to a marker for an assessment.
These students are across sections so we created a new section and added the 108 students.
The subject is live so invitations went out to students but not all have accepted the invitation or visited the Canvas site since then.
The new section can be filtered in Gradebook and all students are listed.
However Gradebook has only 83 students those who have accepted the invitation or been back to the Canvas site.

is there a workaround, or a way, to get ALL students to show in SpeedGrader, in a new section?

Hi @John_Gaspar

Interesting problem - our institutional End to End Assessment solution also generates marker sections, but doesn't depend on students accepting any invitations. If you would like to share more details of how you are currently generating the sections and section enrolments, I'm sure someone in the community will be able to suggest a resolution.

Hi @paul_fynn. Most sections are created automatically, based on enrollment and timetable information. Those sections are created before the start of each session and student enrolments, withdrawals, and class changes are updated by our systems in real time.

The section that's causing a problem was created manually (in settings) and populated in People. That part's fine. They show in new section in gradebook but not in Speedgrader.
