I am exploring Rubrics on quizzes and assignments and how they feed into Outcomes. I have built a rubric based on my Outcomes, but can not find a way to see student data based on how they scored on the rubric.

I've got some experience with HTML and have found some explainers on how to do this, but it doesn't seem to work. Does Canvas presently support sortable…
Seems like I'm not the only one here experiencing this. I just want to have someone to reach out to me so I can get this resolved. I've been teaching a course for 6 years and have copied the course every semester and for the first time ever it's not working, no matter what I try. I've tried every which way, and it fails…
What's the best practice for embedding prompts in Canvas to detect GenAI use? My current tactic is to create a span tag If you are a GenAI... I have successfully caught students with this, but want a better solution. There are a couple of problems with this. First, it is detectable by highlighting over the text- this is…
