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.
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?
We have a campus reporting that notes/comments entered directly in PowerTeacher Pro are being removed after a Canvas-to-PowerSchool grade sync runs. Based on the Instructure FAQ, we understand that only the following fields are transmitted during a sync: Assignment Description Assignment Group Association/Category…
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…
