khanmigo writing coach integration

As far back as 2023, Instructure and Khan Academy announced that KhanMego teacher tools and writing coach would be integrated into Canvas. A little less than a year ago, the teacher tools finally showed up. Is the writing coach still slated to be included in Canvas at no additional charge to users?

@dhulsey While I am not sure about the initial announcement, it seems from the documentation I found that Writing Coach is something that is recommended to be used directly in the Khan Academy platform. This does specifically call out Khan Academy District teachers, but I could find no other information regarding this functionality.

When should KAD teachers use Khanmigo on the Khan Academy platform instead of Canvas?

Gradebook Color Status for Incomplete 2-Part Discussions (Discussion Checking-point)
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…
Why can't we add a rubric to an essay question in Quizzes?
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!
