Canvas Update – August 25, 2018

Every three weeks, Canvas releases new features, updates to existing features, and bug fixes to our platform.  In this Canvas release (August 25), the Mark as Done module requirement synchronizes with the student Dashboard List View and Card View to-do list to automatically complete items that have been marked as done.

For instructors using the Scheduler tool in the Calendar, the Calendar Feed link includes Scheduler appointment details in the calendar feed export.

Feature Options

• For institutions using the Anonymous Grading feature option, SpeedGrader does not display submission details for anonymous assignments until after the assignment is unmuted.
• For institutions using the New Gradebook, admins can enable the New Gradebook feature option for their entire institution.
• For institutions using the Learning Mastery Gradebook feature option, the Learning Mastery Gradebook includes filters to hide outcomes with no results and hide students with no results.
• For institutions using the Student Learning Mastery Gradebook feature option, outcomes include an information icon that display details about the outcome.
