One of our faculty accidentally deleted an assignment. I restored it by using the "undelete" option, but grades that had been manually assigned have disappeared. Is there a way to restore those grades?
@GuidoReverdito If the grades were entered before Saturday, you could try going into your Beta instance of Canvas, exporting the Gradebook, editing the file to only include the assignment in question, and then importing the grades back into the production instance of the course.
James, ciao and thanks for your quick response. Disgracefully enough, the story of the course in which the grades were accidentally deleted is sort of peculiar: the first six weeks there was one faculty to teach it. He was the one who graded the Oral Presentations which were one of the graded Assignments of the course. Then he suddenly left and another one took over who accidentally deleted the Oral Presentations Assignment. I restored it, but grades had disappeared. The first faculty is now not reachable, and that is why I was trying to recover the lost grades.
Have you tried checking the Grade History to see if there are records for that assignment now that it is restored? How do I view the history of all grading changes in the Gradebook?
Based on what you described, unless the Oral Presentation assignment was graded by the prior teacher this week, you could potentially see the grades on the Beta instance of your Canvas site as @james_whalley suggested. How do I access the Canvas beta environment as an instructor?
For this option to work, it is important that you check before Saturday when the Beta instance resets to match the current version of the production site.
I have Canvas set to drop the lowest quiz score, however, my students can only barely tell that the grade text is slightly grey when dropped. Can it have a tag like the "missing" and "exempt" ones in the student gradebook?
My Canvas shell has three different sections that all meet at different times throughout the week. I need to be able to batch edit assignment due dates by section, but right now Canvas can't filter by section for batch edit. My only option is now to manually (tediously) edit due dates for each assignment individually.
Morning! One of the more frustrating aspects of Canvas are groups and the issues that show up when copying courses that have them. But now we have yet another issue. Most recently we have had instances where people mark an assignment/discussion as a group assignment but then do not link the discussion or assignment to any…
So, we have encountered a few assignments where the Speedgrader presents the teacher with the "Empty Course" page, even though the course is not empty. I have discovered two New Quizzes in the same course where this has occurred, despite multiple students being assigned (at Module level, which passes the permission down to…
A teacher has expressed concerns with the recent update. Exact concern is as follows: "My Canvas has been acting glitchy since the last "update." For instance, when I grade essays the highlight and cursor tools do not always work. I have to try highlighting several times,or come back later to finish. It's told me I "ran…
