Question:
So far I really like Canvas and a lot of it’s components. Unfortunately, for those of us who cannot yet use the grading program as part of our Canvas we cannot fully utilize it. Using the grade program allows students to see what is coming and to keep all of their classes in order. When will the rest of us be able to use the grade program in Canvas? I have a lot to learn with the program I know, but it feels wrong to only use part of the program.
Response:
We currently have a new grading program that is close to release. When we learned of Canvas this summer we saw it’s grading features. Dale Roberts in Information Systems is working with Canvas to see if the grading features in Canvas can do everything our grading program can do. Part of this has to do with programs talking to Discovery (our student information system).
Great Question!
