Is it possible to set the numeric grades in a course to show to the tenth decimal only? It currently shows to the hundredth. I've seen some posts that say it's possible to change it but wasn't sure how to make the changes.
I could not find settings for changing the formatting of numbers on the Grades page, and I looked at the admin and instructor settings. I do see that the second decimal only displays if a second decimal is available. In other words, if I type only one decimal then only one is visible. Of course I don't have as much control when a student takes a quiz where automatically graded score results in a decimal.
Your question reminds me of a situation I encountered using another LMS that does allow the users to choose the number of decimal places to display. They chose zero and there was a group of assignments where a student's scores were 7, 7, and 7 but the group total was 20! We thought that the system forgot how to add until the instructor shared that they actually awarded 6.5, 6.5, and 6.5 for the three assignments. Those add up to 19.5, which rounds to 20. Perhaps there is wisdom in displaying those extra decimals if they are present.
This screenshot shows the problem I'm encountering everytime I try to view course videos on Canvas. Occassionally the videos can be played but most of time it's stuck on this status even after I sign in.
There's a lot of edtech that promises results and not much that shows its work. We're collecting questions for an Educast 3000 podcast episode on how to tell the difference, and we'd like yours. What are your questions about evidence-based edtech? Ask us anything: how to read a vendor's efficacy claims, what…
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…
