Hi there does anyone know if marks can be scheduled for a time to be posted? Eg: marks are loaded during the day but would like the marks to be held until the end of the school day to minimise disrupting students while in other classes.
Hi @BronwynJackson - Thank you for reaching out. Unfortunately there is specific feature to give Canvas LMS a "default/scheduled" time to release marks, I would suggest investigating the Grade Posting Policy via this community article How do I use posting policies in a course? You can use posting policies in the Gradebook to manage assignment grade visibility for students. Posted grades are visible to students in your course. Hidden grades are visible to you in the course gradebook, but students cannot see them.This can be set at the assignment or for the entire course allowing teachers to have the confidence to "post" grades at a time that makes the most sense. Enjoy!
Sounds like awesome idea and thank you for posting. I'd suggest searching the Ideas for Canvas LMS first and if nothing fits your idea, then suggest lodging via How do I create a new idea in the Instructure Community?
@BronwynJackson - I found this as well: https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Canvas-Ideas/Gradebook-Settings-quot-Grade-Release-Date-quot-Option-in/idi-p/425490

We use course pacing to manage due dates, because we run ~20 something courses each quarter and manually setting due dates would be a nightmare. Several courses have two core topics. We want to allow students to choose which of these they will pursue first. Is there any way to configure multiple course paces with different…
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]. If I set…
Has anyone else had issues with an influx of duplicate users in Canvas? 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…
