Students cannot see Outcome scores in Learning Mastery Gradebook

[bbennett2]

We ran into a problem recently where Canvas isn't displaying Outcome results to students in the Learning Mastery gradebook. Here's a detailed report - I'm curious if anyone else has run into this. We've already opened a ticket with Instructure because it's not a course or account configuration issue:

Description of Problem
A course has the Learning Mastery and Student Learning Mastery Gradebook enabled. The teacher has imported Outcomes and attached them to Assignment rubrics. There are five alignments with rubric scores. 

The teacher Learning Mastery Gradebook shows the aligned rubric scores. The teacher can also confirm these exist in the Individual gradebook when looking at a student record.



Students have the Learning Mastery tab visible but do not have alignments shown in their Individual Grades view.


If a student opens a single assignment, they can see the rubric score in the Submission details:

Expected behavior
Students would see their rubric scores in the Individual Gradebook view.

Actual behavior
The Individual Gradebook View reports there are no assessment results available for the assignment alignments.

Steps to reproduce

1. Enable the Mastery Learning and Student Mastery Learning gradebooks in a course.
2. Import outcomes into a course.
3. Create an assignment and attach a rubric.
4. Use Find Outcome to align an imported Outcome to the rubric.
5. Assess a student submission with the rubric.
6. Either sign in as the student or masquerade as the student and navigate to the Learning Mastery individual grades view.

Other notes

• Calling outcome rollup scores for specific student IDs is successful when calling from a teacher account.
• Calling outcome rollup scores with the `self` parameter (as if the student were calling their own report) results in an empty response.

Hi Brian,

Was this test built in Quizzes.Next or New Quizzes?  I know that I tried doing this last year and was told that these assessments would not show up in the LMG.  Super frustrating! I don't know if that is what is happening for you as we abandoned that practice and have not reattempted it.  I was hoping that was fixed by now.

None of this is quiz data - this is using rubrics to attach outcomes to general assignments. I've pushed my teachers away from New Quizzes for outcomes for that very reason. I was just curious if anyone else was seeing this issue with the student learning mastery grades view or if it is isolated to our institution.

I am having the same issue.  I did mine through an assignment and graded with a rubric that was linked to the Outcomes.  I can see their scores, but they can't.

I ended up extending an internal LTI we have to serve as a service account. I snippet of Javascript is calling the server, which then requests the student's information from the Canvas API as an admin. This gets around the student authentication also returning empty. I then append a simple table to the top of the Learning Mastery tab in the student view.

It's not pretty, but it works. We have a support ticket in with Instructure - 04739475 - to look at the issue.

If anyone comes across the same issue and wants to see my (internal) solution, I wrote it up - with code samples - on my blog.

I am having the same problem.  Last week it was working.  I think Canvas should have the solution and we shouldn't have to do it ourselves, right?

[bbennett2]

Continuing the thread of workarounds...neither of these are solutions, but they're better than nothing in the meantime. Students can see rubric evaluations from individual Assignments in two places:

1. On the Assignment details page, they can click on View Rubric Evaluation on the right and it will show the rubric scores:

2. Students can also see their rubric by going to the submission details. There's a link to show the rubric there as well:

Updating (and closing) this thread:

We received an update today that Instructure had pushed a solution to Canvas. After checking, our students can now see alignments and their scores in the Learning Mastery Gradebook! Glad they got it worked out quickly.

My solution above still works, but it's now irrelevant.

I still have one class where students cannot see that they have met any standards. It is still saying each assignment has not been assessed. Has the fix been pushed for all courses or only some? 

[bbennett2]

I'm not sure. All of our courses were fixed. I would open up a new issue

with tech support at instructure.
