When viewing a student's grade record in Blackboard, a teacher can see if assignment feedback has been viewed by the student. Does Canvas have this feature? If so, how do I find it? TIA!
Hi @DanielBarwick,
It depends on where the teacher left the feedback but the answer might be yes.
If you review the How do I view the details of a submission for a student in SpeedGrader? - Instructure Community - 762 support article, it has a "Verify Student Annotation Views" section. In that section, if a student has viewed annotation feedback that was left in the SpeedGrader, there will be a reference displayed there underneath the submission date.
Another recommendation I have come across is:
If you add annotations using the DocViewer in Speedgrader, you can see when the students have opened and viewed your feedback [as I explained above]. There isn't a way to see if they have viewed comments left from the gradebook or under assignment comments. However, you can require them to respond to those comments as a way to verify they have viewed that feedback.

When you are creating a quiz and/or also reviewing a quiz in Canvas after the class has taken it, the questions aren't numbered so after you get past the first few questions, there is no way to even tell what number you are on. Can someone change that?
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…
