[Speedgrader] Canvas grading of discussion groups participants should be available inside the group

[deval_popat]

While grading the groups it becomes difficult if the participants are not graded inside the group section, they are far apart in the main discussion topic speed grader. I don't have a reference of submission as usually one person uploads the discussion file/presentation. Even though they can put a comment on the discussion section inside the group, I would like to have a grade menu inside the group. At present, we only have "Home, Announcements, Pages, People, Discussions, Files, Conferences, Collaborations". Please add grades.

@deval_popat  Thanks for sharing this suggestion. To clarify, would this be a Grades navigation item on the group menu that is only visible to instructors, such that instructors would need to navigate to each group separately to grade the discussion assigned to that group by accessing that instructor-only Grades tab?

[deval_popat]

Yes, that would be the right interpretation of the idea request. Thank you for joining.

@deval_popat  Thanks for the quick response! We've moved your idea forward for broader discussion.

Thank you for sharing this idea with the Instructure Community!

With the release of the Announcements/Discussions Redesign, the Product Team reviewed some related feature proposals, and unfortunately, this request was identified as one that they would not be able to include in their current or future plans. While we appreciate your proposal, we also want to be transparent about the likelihood of something like this making it to production.

Thank you for collaborating, and we hope that you submit another idea in the future!
