The New Canvas Gradebook
The New Canvas Gradebook went live May 28, 2019. And, while most features and functions are the same, there are also some new features.
New Features
The new Canvas Gradebook includes many features designed to improve the grading experience, especially in classes with large numbers of students and/or assignments.
To learn more about the new features, and learn how to use them, click here.

Should you use the microphone? Yes!
“If our colleagues and students can’t hear in meetings or in classrooms, they can’t participate. Those of us with low hearing, a hearing impairment, or a hearing-assistive device need you to speak into the microphone so we can fully understand your words. In a crowded or large space, amplification makes it possible for everyone to engage and learn.
Simply talking loudly isn’t enough. It’s not about the fact that you took a high-school theater class and learned to project from the stage. Or that you can use your “teacher voice” to be heard in the back of the room. It’s not about your belief that you are a good speaker.”
