I'm trying to organize a self-paced orientation on Canvas for next year's summer intake.Any advice on how to set up a course where students can go through the material at their own pace but still stay on track?
Hi @OliviyaCarter ,
You can make use of a combination of prerequisites and requirements in Modules. Prerequisites require chosen earlier Modules to be completed. Best used when there are requirements for earlier module items. Requirements mean that certain items have to be done, marked done or viewed (depending on the item).
For keeping them on track, I assume you do have some sort of a deadline in mind, but more of a guideline than a hard deadline.
For that, I'd suggest, at the end of each Module (if you have more than one), a very simple quiz or acknowledgement of completion of the module as a requirement, with a due date, but no until date.
You can play around with these according to your priorities.
I have Canvas set to drop the lowest quiz score, however, my students can only barely tell that the grade text is slightly grey when dropped. Can it have a tag like the "missing" and "exempt" ones in the student gradebook?
My Canvas shell has three different sections that all meet at different times throughout the week. I need to be able to batch edit assignment due dates by section, but right now Canvas can't filter by section for batch edit. My only option is now to manually (tediously) edit due dates for each assignment individually.
Morning! One of the more frustrating aspects of Canvas are groups and the issues that show up when copying courses that have them. But now we have yet another issue. Most recently we have had instances where people mark an assignment/discussion as a group assignment but then do not link the discussion or assignment to any…
So, we have encountered a few assignments where the Speedgrader presents the teacher with the "Empty Course" page, even though the course is not empty. I have discovered two New Quizzes in the same course where this has occurred, despite multiple students being assigned (at Module level, which passes the permission down to…
A teacher has expressed concerns with the recent update. Exact concern is as follows: "My Canvas has been acting glitchy since the last "update." For instance, when I grade essays the highlight and cursor tools do not always work. I have to try highlighting several times,or come back later to finish. It's told me I "ran…
