Can I recover students text entry information from an in-class test that was lost because they were accidentally timed out and submitted after the time deadline
Hi @KarenShmukler ...
Most likely not, unfortunately. If they were typing text as part of the assignment submission process and it was timed out, it is probably lost. I'd recommend that you ask your students to type out their response in a Word document, for example, and then copy/paste in the content to the Canvas assignment. That way, students still have a copy of their text saved on their computers.
Sorry I don't have better news for you, but I hope this helps to answer your question.
Hey @KarenShmukler!
Based on your question, I am assuming that the assessment you had set up was a Canvas Assignment with a submission type of Text Entry an Until date and time set up as a part of the Assign to fields.
In my experience, If there is an Until date set on a text entry assignment, the students need to submit before the time expires. If they attempt to submit after the time expires, the student will be locked out of the assignment and the text entered will not be saved.
One somewhat backwards fix for this issue is if a student is working and time has expired, the student can copy and paste the text into another document for safe keeping until the instructor opens up the assignment again, if they wish to do so.
If this does not describe what your set up was, please reply with additional details and some specifics of what the assessment was and how the time limit was set.
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…
Speedgrader chaning file name when being downloaded. Speedgrader: When downloading a submitted assignment, the file name is being changed to an unrecognizable name — (Student's actual name was part of the file name — changed for privacy.) Ideas???
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…
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…
This is my first time using the new discussion "checkpoints". I'm hoping the multiple due dates are effective, but using the "checkpoints" does seem to create other problems: They only allow for ONE "reply to topic". The way I use discussions in some of my classes is to allow for students to ask MULTIPLE questions per…
