Is there a way to color code the classification of assignment categories:
Homework-Blue
Classwork-Green
Tests- Red
Quizzes- Orange
To see the different categories in the grade book? I know we can see for late, resubmission, etc.
Thanks,
I have never seen an option for that (instructional designer here).
Something like that might also not be accessible or up to WCAG 2.2 standards. Those with colorblindness likely wouldn't be able to tell the difference between classwork/tests/quizzes.
Though I could see an icon in the assignment title in gradebook being potentially useful.
Just my 2 cents!
Best,

Hi @TerriSchmidt ...
As @KyleighBecker mentioned, there is no option for color. However, when you are editing the title of a module, you can right-click with your mouse and then select the "Emoji" option (or whatever is similar on your browser of choice), and as Kyleigh has suggested, you could add icons to your module title to distinguish one from another.
I hope this will be of some help to you. Good luck!
There seems to be a change in my current rubric that it no longer shows different colours when marked via Speedgrader ie Red for Below Standard, Yellow for At Standard and Green for Above Standard. No it only shows Green across all Ratings. Is this able to be fixed?

Does anyone have suggestions for bulk aligning questions at the quiz level, not the item bank level? I don't know much about API keys, but would one of these work for a bulk alignment? We have a school that is preparing for accreditation next year and they must get their quiz questions aligned to outcomes. We know they…
The most recent quizzes and question banks (including renames) are not showing up as options in the Course Import Tool. As I was creating a new quiz in one course (Classic), I went to add the questions from the Question Bank, but what I needed wasn't there. I went back to the other course to make sure everything was…
In the wake of the recent Canvas security incident, many instructors are rethinking how they protect their course materials and ensure continuity for students if the LMS becomes unavailable. A common question we’re hearing is how to effectively back up courses “just in case,” especially with an eye toward re‑distributing…
