Default Assignment Group-Weights

luftr

Is anyone familiar with a way to setup/create default assignment group categories and weights for an entire sub-account at the Canvas District Admin Level? Our goal is to decrease grade pass back issues with teachers creating these on their own.

Hi @luftr,

The only way you would be able to do this is:

a course template, like described by @stimme
providing your faculty with a designed and programmed template (using done through the API when courses are initially created)
a blueprint course of some sort (that would get awkward to manage)

Hi there @luftr ,

To my knowledge, there isn't a direct way within the Canvas LMS UI to create assignment groups for every course at once. This is really something that the teacher creates and can organize to their liking. However, you could make it so your teachers need to create these assignment groups prior to the school year starting to ensure it's set up the way you wish.

I hope that helps a bit!

Although it doesn't apply to existing courses, if you created a template course for your top-level account and built the default weighted assignment groups there, they would be copied into future courses.

Check out this guide: How do I select a course template in an account?

Max Score on Canvas Quiz when Retaking
Our district has a max score students can earn when they re-assess on something (like a quiz). Does Canvas have any settings to set that max score to allow kids to retake a quiz and not have the teacher go in and manually change the kids raw score to the max amount they are allowed?
Mastery Paths Available From date not applied to student assigned by path
I'm testing whether Mastery Paths can be used to give students early access to an item based on their score, while making the same item available to everyone else on a later date. Here is my setup: A 4-point assignment is the source for the Mastery Path. Students scoring 75–100% are assigned a Solutions item. The Solutions…
Discussion Checkpoints
Faculty are wondering if they can make individual motifications from the Gradebook setting rather than having to go to the Discussions themselves to open up and recompute scores. We find where it adjusts for all students in mass but it would be nice to have that feature independently as faculty go to Gradebook to get an…

Canvas needs the same Speedgrader tools available for Canvas Discussions. Highlighting, point annotation, text comments, strikethrough, area annotations, etc. This would make instructor feedback easier.
