Canvas Teacher

Un Lms qui change la vie d’enseignant, le suivi des élèves et leur autonomie à mettre entre toutes les mains

Do his job, but many things could be improve

I used to use the app to rapidly respond to student posts. Now, pressing ‘Reply’ brings up a buggy text box while the rest of the app content disappears. It takes some combination of random taps to get to a usable response field and it is even harder to use standard text features like copy and paste. Please go back a few versions to figure out where this went wrong.

Did anyone think about functionality and user experience when creating this app, or is it just supposed to be a selling point for when you’re trying to win over new customers?

Is it just me, or is speedgrader running slowly lately?

When using dark theme, the status bar remains light theme, this makes it invisible against the banner of the institution. If this can be controlled independent of the client configuration, that would be great.

The interface in this app lacks functionality that the desktop web interface allows. Please allow highlighting and copy/paste for the text. Please allow the user to assign peer reviews from the app. And while you are at it, the resolution of the handwritten feedback needs to be improved, or at least adjustable. My students frequently can’t read how the app scrambles my handwriting.

The grader has gotten progressively worse in the past few months. Currently it doesn’t properly scroll and the loading times have increased as well.

Suddenly the iPad version will not open the students’ assignments. Their work is uploaded as plain text files. The app says the file is not a pdf. Worked great with text files until about a week ago. Now nothing

The fact this isn’t a feature after multiple infrastructure posts going back to 2018 means the developers really don’t care about users or their code is so bad they can’t figure out how to implement this fix without bricking their kludge of a repository.
