[Mobile - Canvas Teacher] Please Bring Back Swiping On iPad!!

[paxton_helms]

Problem statement:

In previous versions of the Canvas for Teachers app on my iPad I could swipe from student to student when grading a question on a Quiz that was a combination of multiple choice and short asnwer. So, I would open the assignment in To Do, grade a question or two on an assignment, and then swipe to the next student that had completed the same assignment, and grade the next student's work. This functionality has now disappeared on both my iPad and iPhone. This is indescribably frustrating and defeats the whole purpose of using the iPad because, of course, the Web browser SpeedGrader just cycles through students rather than going directly to assignments that need grading. Please please please bring this functionality back. I cannot imagine what possessed you to take it out but the increased burden on teachers is imply enormous.

Proposed solution:

Allow swiping from a graded assignment to the next ungraded assignment . So, after I grade a student's work, i want to be able to swipe to get to the next ungraded Quiz or Project in that same assignment group. So, if I am grading Colonial Era quizzes, I want to be able to swipe from one ungraded Colonial Era quiz to the next without having to go through all of the Colonial Era quizzes I have already graded.

Hi @paxton_helms - Thank you for sharing this idea with the Instructure Community. I was able to swipe in SpeedGrader with assignments and discussions, so I'm wondering what your experience is with Quizzes. Do you use New Quizzes or Classic Quizzes in your courses?

Hi @paxton_helms -

I have collaborated with our Mobile Team, and they are unable to duplicate this behavior. Which version of iOS do you have on your device?

Hi @paxton_helms -

I'm checking back! Are you still experiencing this issue? Have you worked with Support? If you are unable to provide an update regarding this idea by November 8, we will need to archive it to help the Community Team focus on current Ideas. If you need more time, that's okay too! Providing an update before that time would be helpful and appreciated.
