Retaining existing and concluded terms with their associated grading periods aligns accuracy with grading reports. Reporting functionality will be added to grading periods in a future release.

 

 

Existing Course-level Grading Period Changes

Admin Edits: Currently in new and existing courses， admins can edit grading periods at the course level， but changes are associated with the account-level grading periods and apply to the entire institution. Canvas engineers are adjusting this behavior further to discontinue admin editing at the course level. This change should be added to the beta environment shortly.

 

Instructor Modifications: Currently at the course level， instructors can modify grading periods inherited from an account for their individual courses. After these grading period code changes are made on July 16， grading periods can no longer be edited on a course-by-course basis. Any current and active courses with instructor-modified grading periods will not be affected; this behavior is to retain the existing grading periods of the course and not disrupt grades and assignment due dates. Once the course has concluded， prior grading period data will be retained with the course for reporting purposes， but any course copies will be subject to the grading periods in the new term.

 

Future Grading Periods

Once a grading period has concluded， existing grading period sets should never be edited and reused for future terms. Future terms should be added to a new grading period set， with dates defined specifically for the future term. As term dates most commonly last an entire year， new grading period sets should only have to be created annually.

Retaining concluded terms and their associated grading periods ensures accuracy in grading reports. Reporting functionality will be added to grading periods in a future release.

 

Reports

Course Storage Report Total File Size

The Course Storage report shows the total of all files in a course. Previously the report only showed the storage used for each course， which did not account for any files that had been copied or referenced from previous courses. The report shows the amount of storage actually used in the course as well as the total of all files.

Rich Content Editor

Sidebar Assignment links

When an instructor created a new discussion or quiz， the page sidebar included links to create a new assignment， discussion， or quiz， respectively. These links have been removed from Discussions and Quizzes creation pages.

 

 

MathML Whitelist

In HTML View， the Rich Content Editor supports MathML tags， including presentation and content tags.

 

User Account

Profiles User Account Menu

The Profiles feature applies to an entire account and must be enabled by a Canvas Customer Success Manager.

When the Profiles feature is enabled， the User Account Menu does not include the Home or Logout links. This change removes redundancy and improves coding consistency between the non-Profiles user navigational menu.
