Among all the things that I wish Canvas had is that one! Is it something that is been worked on? We had it in Blackboard (legacy) and I sorely miss and need in Canvas (we just transitioned to it from Bb). Please add this very needed feature!
Thank you @cferna5 for your contribution to the Community . Your post is a suggestion to make Canvas better, and Instructure this year has improved its process for collecting ideas like yours. This is called the Canvas Collaborative Roadmap, and that is the best place to share your proposal. That is where Instructure’s developers go to be inspired by folks like you. For more information about the process, read the blog post by Instructure's chief product officer, Shiren Vigiasingam.
I’m going to mark this response as the answer to your question. That will help others find the best place to support your contribution and keep this space focused on questions and answers for what we can currently do in Canvas.
@cferna5 While it is not possible to add a rubric to an individual essay question, it is possible to add a rubric to the quiz itself and even to use that rubric to assign a grade for the entire quiz. Would this work for you? https://community.instructure.com/en/kb/articles/661104-how-do-i-add-a-rubric-to-a-quiz
Thanks for your message, dhulsey. Yes, adding a rubric to a quiz is a very good thing to have. However, quizzes can have different types of questions. In Spanish, we test students comprehension and interpretation of texts (oral o written) as formative assessment. The questions to test comprehension are multiple choice. But, for the interpretation part, a short answer is a good way for students to show connections or comparisons, or expansion on certain topics. It is necessary to evaluate such response and both students and teachers need a criterion to follow. That is why the option to have a rubric assigned to this open-ended question is highly necessary. I know I can have such question in separate quiz, but then the gradebook would become extremely long!
Yesterday, after much trial and error…I concluded the new quizzes matching choice options do not work as I expected, and have used with other LMS. I thought that I could provide students a matching choice quiz with multiple attempts that would report incorrectly answered matches on the first attempt, and display the…
I have seen documentation that says you must recopy your iCal link and resubscribe when you are enrolled in new classes, does this mean my iCal feed link changes each time, or do i just need to re-fetch the .ics file?
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…
