Student Feedback Analytics

[Chill_Cait]

I am an English instructor in a 9-12 high school. I spend time adding feedback to student essays and written work submitted through Canvas only to find out they are not reading the feedback. Is there a way to 

1. Make feedback more visible to students

2. Allow me to see if students have opened the feedback 

3. Track how much feedback I am giving

I verbally remind students in class to check their feedback, but often students cannot remember how to click three times to get to the feedback screen. I have tried using the comment box as a reminder to check feedback, but students do not always read the comment box. 

I would love it if the comment box popped up like a popup ad when students open their grades. Same with feedback.

Hi @Chill_Cait,

My institution has not yet enabled it but your only option (its availability is determined by the team that manages your Canvas) is to enable "Assignment Enhancements".

What is Assignment Enhancements? - Instructure Community - 416679

For a comparison of the steps, you can review the two support articles below:

• How do I view annotation feedback comments from my instructor directly in my assignment submission?
• How do I view assignment feedback from my instructor using Assignment Enhancements?

For more information about "Assignment Enhancements", check out  Assignment Enhancements Users - Feature User Groups.

I've found that when teachers need students to access feedback the most powerful approach is to add an assignment (Yes graded...) which requires them to access feedback (though multiple submissions for one assignment and possible grade changes for improvements made would also work
