A student was typing up his response, but hit 'next' instead of 'reply' and now his entry is gone. Any way to get it back?
Hey, @AmyBardwell ..
It pretty much depends on the circumstance. Several times, especially if it's something like a discussion post or an assignment text submission, if the student navigates away and returns within a short amount of time, most times it will detect that there was already something typed in the submission, and it will ask if you'd like to re-add the existing content that Canvas identified from previous times your student has been on that page, and with what they've written.
However, there are also times where Canvas for some reason doesn't manage to save all of your student's work, and that's just the basic technology that we all know and love, and it will not be able to recover anything your student wrote for that assignment in that scenario. And unfortunately, that happens sometimes.
If you are using a tool such as the 'Chat' tool in your course, and your student was using that for his entry, to my knowledge and understanding you can't recover your entry if you navigate away from the page... but I could be wrong there. However, based off of what you've described, it appears your student was completing this in more of an assignment or discussion thread than using the chat feature (if thats even enabled for your school).
So that being said, if your student went back to the assignment after clicking next and re-started the assignment and that pop-up box asking if he'd like to recover what he's written isn't there, then I'm sorry, but there's no way to really recover your students work, especially if there was no submission from him.
I hope this helps point you in the right direction, always feel more than welcome to reach out with any more questions or concerns you have about this topic, or any others!
Best,Noah
Our H5P LTI assignment scores are not returning to the gradebook 9 times out of 10. It's been going on since 15 September, and we are not aware of any event or change at that time that might have caused the issue. The H5P reports confirm students have completed the assignments, therefore ruling out user error. Is anyone…
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…
I have been asked to discover whether Canvas Catalog can accept eCheck payments. My thought is that since Catalog is configured to redirect to a payment form at our Payment Gateway, that this might be more a question of configuring an additional option into the Catalog and payment gateway settings. Has anyone done this?
