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?

How does "Participation: Course" + manually input start/end dates play with Course Pacing?
Hoping someone can explain for me. We're using pacing to avoid manually dating regular assignments each quarter, but the dates I see are based on when the course was instantiated, while students see dates based on when they were added to the course by [backend software I don't know anything about, presumably].

Student moved from one Tag to another but can see both Canvas Pages
I have a student that was in a tag called "ac" and recently moved him to a different tag, "AC."

I removed the assigned tags to the page and the one tag to the student thinking maybe if I remove and reassign…
