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…
Hi there. I started playing with portfolio this week. I'm looking at how a portfolio can be used across several semesters for programmatic assessment. In my Canvas site I can create a portfolio and link courses and assignments from this semester, but I can't edit it to add new courses each new session. Is that on the…
