Alpha and beta are sections in my canvas course and I would like this to be real-time, so as graded discussions are posted by alpha, beta can review them without assigning a grade to beta. Can this be done?
Hey @JimPorto!
I am going to answer based on my interpretation of your question. If this is not what you are looking for, please reply with additional details of the specifics of your situation.
If both sections of your class are assigned a graded discussion, the Gradebook is expecting a grade for the students in each section. One thing that might work for your situation is to go into the Gradebook and excuse the students in the section you do not wish to assign grades.
Please let me know if this is what you were meaning or not.
Thanks!
Probably one of the easiest ways to excuse students is to click Grades in the course Navigation menu. I would then apply a filter to only see the section of the students you want to excuse from the assignment. Enter "ex" for the grade for the first students in the column for that discussion. Press Enter/Return on the key board and then do the same for each student until all of them have been excused form the assignment.
I tried to set the default grade to Excused for the assignment once I filtered for the section. It gave a message stating that the default grade had been set for the number of students in that section, nothing was changed in the gradebook. I am thinking that maybe you need a numerical grade for this to work. Feel free to try this though to see if it works for you. To set the default grade, hover over the title of the assignment in the Gradebook. Click on the three dots that appear to the right of the title and select Set Default Grade to se if this method works for you. (Only typing "ex" gave me an error. Typing "excused" Gave me a confirmation method, but nothing changed in the Gradebook.)
Good luck and I hope you find a way to make this work with your workflow! Would love to hear your results, which may help other Community members too.
Workable solution to the problem. Thanks.
Breakout Discussions would enable instructors to orchestrate multi-phase discussions that mirror effective classroom facilitation patterns. An instructor creates a master discussion topic, then segments participants into small breakout groups for focused conversation, and finally reconvenes everyone into a unified thread…
Hi all, Quick question about the Gradebook color status for a 2-part checkpoint discussion. If a student completes the first due date (initial post) but does not complete the required replies by the second due date, is there any way for Canvas to automatically show a color (e.g., missing/late) instead of staying as…
Among all the things that I wish Canvas had is that one! Is it something that is been worked on? We had it in Blackboard (legacy) and I sorely miss and need in Canvas (we just transitioned to it from Bb). Please add this very needed feature!
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…
