There are some exciting changes coming to Canvas in the month of November. The sprint on the 20th will include:
A New Submission Feedback Indicator
If you've ever had students be oblivious to the comments you added to their assignment submissions, this new feature is for you! Now, in the Assignment Details page, the Show Rubric and View Feedback links indicate when new comments have been added as an annotation or in a rubric. This change allows students to see when new comments have been added to a submission.
Settings Tab Links
This change allows users to remain in a specific tab after a Settings page is refreshed. When multiple Settings tabs are viewed, the browser back/forward button will return to the previous/next tab that was visited.Previously, the Settings pages always reloaded to the Course Details tab regardless of the tab previously being viewed.
Word Count in SpeedGrader
The word count for assignment text submissions is displayed in SpeedGrader in the sidebar. This only applies to text submissions.
