Canvas - Messaging Students from Within the Gradebook

Patricia and I were walking on the treadmills.  In between talking about "The Straight Man", Miley Cyrus' twerking her way on the VMA stage and how "Gravity" was not all that, we talked about our classes, students, and Canvas.

Patricia said: "Did you know that you can message students who have not turned in their assignments in Canvas?"  I said: "Yes, you can use the Inbox email." She said: "No, you can message them right there inside the Gradebook."

Here I thought I was the Canvas "expert."   She showed me after we went back to her office and I have been using it every since.  The following two image instructions should be self-explanatory




As you can see, you can message those who haven't submitted yet, or those who scored less than a certain score. You can also simply congratulate those high achievers. You can even just send out a reminder before it is due. What an efficient and helpful feature!

Welcome to the Teaching, Learning, and Technology Round Table Blog

Hello, Fellow Faculty and Staff Members, and Random Visitors!

We thought a blog discussing technology-related issues, tips, and solutions relevant to your teaching, learning and working at NLC should be helpful.  Therefore as a committee we have decided to create and maintain this blog.

You don't have to "Like" us on Facebook, or "Follow" us on Twitter, we just want to provide what little help we can.  Your visiting is all we want! :)

In order to provide the most relevant help, we would like to know what technology(both hardware and software) you would like to know more about.

Create your free online surveys with SurveyMonkey , the world's leading questionnaire tool.
