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?
Thanks for your reply - I am aware of the feature - it does show the word count when I write a post. I would like the word count to show when I am grading a discussion assignment so it shows me how many words the student typed into their initial post and replies when I am grading. My grading rubric has minimum word length requirements

I also have a word count requirement for discussions and would love to see this feature added!

If I set…

Ours is currently in the form of an email that already exists, becoming a new user - and not automatically merging with the user ID with the same email that also is linked to our SIS ID correctly as well. For example, user 1 is xyz@gmail.com without a…
Canvas Portfolios provide a powerful platform for students to document their learning journey, reflect on their progress, and showcase competencies. However, in programs where multiple educators are involved in assessment—such as team teaching, moderation, or competency-based evaluation—there are important questions about…
I have a student that was in a tag called "ac" and recently moved him to a different tag, "AC." I did ensure the old tag was removed; however on a canvas PAGE he sees both pages the "ac" and "AC" Canvas Pages. I removed the assigned tags to the page and the one tag to the student thinking maybe if I remove and reassign…
