I have seen previous posts about having a word count in SpeedGrader for Discussion Board assignments. This is helpful for rubrics that have minimum word counts. Is there an update to this idea?
Hi @skjohnson2,
Anytime the "Rich Content Editor" is used, there is a word count feature underneath the textbox. This is described in the What is the Rich Content Editor (RCE)? - Instructure Community - 12 support article.
Does that help you?

I have Canvas set to drop the lowest quiz score, however, my students can only barely tell that the grade text is slightly grey when dropped. Can it have a tag like the "missing" and "exempt" ones in the student gradebook?
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…
