How do we add the ReadSpeaker button on our Canvas accounts?
Hello there, @PatriciaForero ...
Full disclosure...I have never used ReadSpeaker, so I do not know the full capabilities of what it is or does. However, I do see that it is listed as a LTI (Learning Tools Interoperability) that can be integrated into Canvas. The page on the EduAppCenter is located at:
Edu App Center: ReadSpeaker
On this info page, there is a link that takes you to: Canvas Accessibility with text-to-speech - ReadSpeaker.
I'm not sure if there is an additional cost to this third-party product (assuming there is?), but I would encourage you to have a conversation with your school's Canvas administrator(s) to see if purchasing this software would be possible. Many LTIs are installed at the Canvas account level so that they can be available for all courses at your school, but there are some LTIs that can be installed at the course level...which means that it would only be available course by course...and not for everyone at your school who also uses Canvas. You'd have to do some additional research and ask questions to the ReadSpeaker staff to see what options are available.
Hopefully this will be enough information to get you started. Thanks...
I am currently experiencing an issue where a student’s assignment grade appears in Moderate, but it is not populating in the Canvas gradebook. I have verified the submission is there, but the grade is still missing from the gradebook view. Is there a known fix or additional step needed to get the grade to display properly?
Hi all, Quick question about the Gradebook color status for a 2-part checkpoint discussion. If a student completes the first due date (initial post) but does not complete the required replies by the second due date, is there any way for Canvas to automatically show a color (e.g., missing/late) instead of staying as…
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…
Hi There, We are in the process of transitioning to Canvas this year and were wanting to connect with any other MYP schools to see how you setup Assignment and grading under your modules. Or you could guide us to any resources you may have.
Our "Outcomes" has not been working for about 6 months. Teachers can't build and attach Outcomes to new quizzes. Canvas said it was a rollover issue. Canvas won't fix it unless we pay them $2000 to "re-train" us for 10 hours. Has anyone had this problem and did it get fixed?
