News from the Director...Canvas Update 9/21

From time to time, Canvas will be producing updates to the LMS. I'll try to share those via this blog and keep you informed of changes that will be occuring. The next update will occur on 9/21 and will not effect us as we are not using the "New Gradebook" feature...yet. Here is more about the upcoming Canvas release scheduled for 9/21:

In this Canvas release (September 21), the navigation menus have been updated for improved accessibility. Noted updates have also been included for APIs and Live Events.

Feature Options

 

For institutions using the New Gradebook, SpeedGrader can be filtered by student group via an option in course settings. When this feature is enabled, SpeedGrader will only load submissions from a selected group.

External Tools (LTI)

 

For institutions using New Quizzes, Multiple Choice Questions support individual feedback for each answer.


As always, feel free to email or phone with questions or concerns,
