With a lot a self-paces course work, is there a way to trigger an email when a student completes the course to the correct teacher?
Hi @ShawnHuff ,
I'm a CSM, part of the EMEA team. I came across such a similar request before but Canvas doesn’t have a built in “email when a student completes a course” feature, but there are several ways institutions have set this up.
Approaches that work well:
Module Requirements & Prerequisites – Many institutions make the last step of a course a “completion activity” (like a required short quiz or survey) and set it as the final requirement in the last module. Once that’s submitted, the teacher can be notified and its an easier way to filter out students who have completed the whole requirements and course.How do I add prerequisites to a module? How do I add requirements to a module?
API – Some institutions use this to detect when all module requirements are met and automatically send an email to the correct teacher. This option does require technical setup and would depend on the inhouse resources you have. Canvas has an open API which is great for integrations or getting data.Welcome to the Canvas LMS API DocumentationThis also was discussed in discussion regarding notifications on completion as mentioned by @james_whalley.
Cheers,
Jay
@ShawnHuff It looks like there was a discussion regarding notifications on completion a couple of years ago. Do I understand correctly that you want different instructors to be notified based on which students complete the course? I do not believe there is a direct way to do this. It might be possible by using code, the API, and some sort of database, but it is not part of Canvas' current functionality.
Hi everyone, It looks like the multiple rubric idea has bounced around a bit with the different feature request methodologies over the years, including a mention in New & Next 2024 according to this post, interviews in the enhanced rubrics features group, being listed as "under consideration" on the new roadmap, and this…
I recently had an exam provided as a Canvas Quiz in my class, and used some questions copied from question banks from other sections and prior years of the course. Some of those questions had "General Answer Comment" text already saved in them. I changed that text in several questions as I updated/changed the questions.…
I would like to suggest improvements to how collaborations function within Canvas LMS. Currently, collaborations are somewhat limited in how they can be accessed and integrated into course content. One potential improvement would be allowing collaborations to be directly linkable within Pages and Modules. This would make…
We are using the Learning Mastery Gradebook with an rubric on account-level. When we enter the gradebook, the sorting does not make any sense. How can we make the sorting so it makes sense to us. It feels like a randam sorting.
Can Canvas please create the option to use a "total points" system such that both the gradebook and the student grades page can show accumulated total points, not as a fraction of total points earned/total points possible? This would be SO helpful for progress tracking in a self-paced course where I do not want 0s entered…
