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.
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…
A recent change my students have been complaining about is that they now have to wait for Canvas to process submissions so that it can be displayed within the browser before they can check that the submission worked. When the servers are heavily loaded I have seen student need to wait 5 minutes for this. When submitting at…
