and re-share my screen. And I think we're gonna go ahead and get started. It's about 100 for right now, I'm gonna go ahead and get started. So this is the link that I shared with you, this document here. So at any point if we happen to be going over things that you are completely re familiar with and you want to kind of move ahead a little bit as I'm going through things to kind of take a sneak peak, you're more than welcome to do that. So without further ado, I am going to go ahead and I'm going to start out with kind of the written comments. And what I've done, I have my little staging site here, and I've just kind of created. An overview for us. So my hope is that we can get through all the levels today. I want to help you kind of rethink some ways with the written comments where that through the inbox and Canvas, also through the submission comment area. If you ever use Speed Grader. And really a lot of these things are available through the gradebook in speed grader. So just kinda keep those things in mind. We'll talk about ways to communicate with students through grades with the message students too. I'm not sure if I saw anybody. Some people said through grade, so I didn't know if you meant messaging students, you meaning if a student has missed an assignment or something like that, there are ways to kinda get in touch with the student to just do a, a general poker reminder about an assignment. Get in, say a recording, audio media comments. Also their feature, that's the speech to text. If you don't want to type and you want to just kinda put your punctuations. And after you've submitted your comments, we'll talk about that. We'll get into the annotated features that are available through the dark viewer when you're doing assignments in Canvas. And if time permits, we will also touch on grading rubrics as well as a way to provide feedback. So again, this is the document that you have access to, which is just a Google document. So without further ado, I am going to move out the way and I'm going to click next. So right here I've just simply created an assignment in canvas. But for purposes of just showing you written comments, I'm just gonna go ahead and click on SPB grater. So if you've never used, be greater for any assignments, I've just used the test student. I highly recommend using the test student to do assignments and quizzes and to just kinda get a little bit of an idea of what it looks like from the student perspective whenever you're doing things. So outside of that, I've just uploaded just this sample here, right? This image from what I already have in Canvas. I've assigned it points and then writing here is where I can create communists. This is how you comments. So right in this field here. And then what happens is you can just submit this. And if students have their notifications on for submission comments, they know they'll get a message that says, Hey, so you've got this comment, they can look at that common right there. So this is one way their assignment is here, the submission comments in the break here. So that's the first way. That's a real simple way. We'll get into these tools a little bit later on if you want to take it to the next level. The other thing that I would highly recommend is if you don't use the inbox and Canvas, everybody's a little bit different with preferences. I like to use the canvas inbox specifically for communicating with students. So right here is your inbox. This is on the Global Navigation Menu. So any correspondence you have across all of your courses in Canvas will be listed here. So it's just simply writing an individual student if you wanted to do that, where you simply just compose, you select the course for which you want to send a message. This is my staging sites, so I don't have anyone other than myself in this course. And I can just simply send a message to a student. This is a really good backup as well, if used in submission comments and maybe your students aren't paying attention to their notifications. You can very easily send an inbox message to say. Hey, Lauren Kelley, I've sent you some submission comments. You'll want to check them in Canvas mixture and you know, and make sure you see me or email me once you receive this. And you can just simply submit the message and it'll appear in their inbox. There is also a way to, if you, if ever just an Outlook or if you use Gmail, whichever platform you use, sometimes you want to blind copy and you want to send a message out to everyone. This is where you can use this feature right here, where you can just do a check in and just say, hey, how are you doing this week, right? And individual students think you are talking to them directly, although you have send it to the whole class. So that's another way to do that. Okay. So I'm going to come and event. Does anybody have any questions about those features? We did have one question come in, Loren. Okay. And it was How about the chat function in Canvas? What can it do and what can it not do? So the chat function in Canvas is really fairly simple. I, I mean, I would recommend it. But at the same time, what I have noticed in Patty, I don't know if you've used this before. I have to always toggle a minister. I keep turning on that notification. Have a hard time recognizing when I do get the notification. So sometimes I actually missed that notification. Whereas if a student sends me a message and the inbox, or even if a student says me a submission comment, I'm alerted to that because I have those notifications specifically turned on. I prefer those methods for that same reason. So Chad is there if you want to include that as a functionality. But I really think it's all about how you sell it. If you put that in your syllabus, if you make that an expectation that you'll be using that feature and you rally your students around that feature than it could possibly be beneficial. But I haven't personally found any benefits from using the chat feature because again, I missed I don't see how the notification lets me know. Sometimes I can just be playing around and then I'm like, oh, somebody actually use the chat here. And it's also something that you have to turn on to. So if anybody is familiar with that, it's a setting rate and then you go into navigation and it's actually a feature that you have to turn on. So i would enable it. And then I have to go all the way down and save that. And then what ends up happening is it then appears on my course navigation menu. Now if I click on it, it brings me into it. And then depending on how many people are online, you'll show this but see, this is what I was talking about here, where I have to keep turning the alert on cuz I feel like I've turned it on, so it should stay on, but sometimes I see a toggled off. So I'm not sure that this is a feature that canvas is paying a lot of attention to as far as continuing to update that. Just because so many other features are so much better. But it's an option. I think students like knowing that they have lots of different options to communicate with you. So if it's something that you want to try, that's exactly how you turn it on. If you wanted to use it. Jimmy opinion. Thank you, Barb. We do have one more question on this topic. And that is, are there best practices on when to use announcements versus when to use Canvas message inbox. Absolutely. I think that you could use them in tandem. In padding. You can add in here too if you need to. And if you if you feel like there's something that's been helpful for folks that you've been working with. Two announcements, I choose to save those. I actually kind of do that. Delayed where I have them set up to automatically come out based on the timing of my courses. So I teach at another institution right now we're just starting our no-show reporting period. Still between the tail end of last week and this week I've been doing kind of those auto, those delayed announcements that fold out and they hit uncertain times during the week to remind students, hey, I had some academically related assignments that you need to complete that count as attendance. Do you need to make sure you complete those other things that I'll say, you know, Have you check to make sure you have your notifications turned on. So I save announcements for updates for really, really important information. I need students to know reminders about assignments that are coming out. Particularly if I have an instance where It's 24 hours before something is due and half the class hasn't done it. So that's the exact time and I'm going to use announcements as a reminder. Some other ways that I can do it as if I'm giving kind of raw or cheer on for people that might have started the assignment early. And I want to give them some shout outs and we do that. If you happen to be teaching in a hybrid capacity and you actually do have some classes that are on-ground. Announcements are great if there's a room change or if something in some way happens. If you are going to be offline for the day where typically you would be online all the time. That's where announcements, I think, would come into play where you can kind of redirect students as to what's happening. Syllabus changes, things like that. Okay. How did you have anything you want? There is one other time that I always and that same thing for the very things that you mentioned Lauren, but there is one other time I always do a welcome announcement right at the beginning of the course. And I put in all of the things that they would need to do in order to get started and kind of direct them to the appropriate areas within the Canvas course such as the syllabus and the modules and where to get help, that sort of thing and then Canvas support. Does that answer that for everybody and have questions. We get on questions, Patti. Yes. Thank you. Okay. All right. So let's move on. Let's take it to the next level. So now, I know that a couple of people said that they actually use the Gradebook to send out messages. So this one's really kind of a feature that if you just select grades from your course navigation menu at the left. Ok. And you'll see my play assignments I've put out here. Well, if I hover over any one of them and access these three dots, right? There is this message students too right here. Everybody see that? And if I were to click that, what ends up happening is it gives me a drop down in there a couple different messages I can send to students. So I typically use this one because I don't use kind of the scoring that you needed to score less than or greater than. But I can see how that could come into play for you as media. If you're in the math and sciences area and students need to score within a certain parameter because this is impacting their grade or something like that. But really, what I use this for is for students that haven't done the assignment. So remember, like I talked about, I might use announcements for reminders. This is another way to use the grade book as a way to remind students, right? So if I'm at that 24 hour turn around, 50% of my students have not submitted. This is a really great catch-all. Now the only drawback here is I'm using my staging sites so no students are listed. But typically like right underneath this header would be all of the students that have not submitted. It'll already be auto populated for you. You click the topic that you want. And then this is where you can draft your general message that's going to go to everybody saying, hey, everyone, just wanted to check. And I noticed that you haven't submitted this assignment. Are you able to access the assignment, please let me know if you need any help. Just Emacs me. And then I can just send that message in that shoots out to the canvas inbox for those students. Ok, any questions on that? But I saw some things flashing in the chat and question and you just answered at that line, it says, does this end individual message to each student? Yes. It will go to their inbox. Absolutely. Yep. So does this sound like something that folks might use? You can raise your hand, you can say yes, some chat or something. Yeah, cuz I definitely think that's a great way to alert students about things. And keep in mind, you can still use that as a way to still reach out about something else too. So even though if this haven't submitted this assignment that gets the students attention for that topic or that subject line. But you can also still kind of adds something else in that message because at the end of the day it's still a canvas, inbox messages what it is. Okay. Alright, so we are going to come out of here. Alright, we'll provide tomatoes. Alright, so we'll take it's a level three now. So I'm going to stop sharing my screen for just a second. And I am going to reach there because I want to include my audio for this particular one. Okay. So for this one, this year I just again, just created another. This one is a discussion in this case. So what's going to be important here is when you create a discussion, you just want to make sure that it is graded, okay, so threaded and graded. If we have time, I can go back in more detail and share that information with you with how you access that and do those things. Okay. So again, the three dots right here, I'm going to access my speed grader. Okay. And then right here, I've prerecorded this ray here using this feature here. So I'm gonna go ahead and show you what it looks like. Hi Lauren. It's really great to meet you. I see that you have been working from home, just like a majority of our population of people during covert. It is a pleasure to meet you. It sounds like you just left Valencia College and you now at UD. So we're happy to have you as a new blue hen. Alright, so you see what that looks like if you chose to use the video and the audio. Now want to show you kind of another feature that I think pretty cool and I need to use this more. I think I just forget about it. So let's just say you don't necessarily want to just do the typical written comments. Maybe you had a student's submitted paper. You've downloaded it, you have a printer at your leisure at home, and you've written some commons and maybe you've scanned it and you shared it back with the students, something like that and you want to upload it. So that's where you could choose that file if you've saved it to your computer and you can attach that as comments if you wanted to do that. And then there's this other cool feature here, and of course you would access it and attach it. But there's this other cool feature here, right? So if I click the record button, Mrs, Just speech to text right here. Hi Lauren. I want to give you feedback based on your assignment. And it looks really great. Thanks so much for your great work. I'd stop it. And you can see right here, these are my comments. I can just go ahead and use my little grandma leads or do any punctuation and make stuff look pretty and my capitalization here or whatever, and then I can simply submit it. So that saves me a lot of time if I chose to use that feature. So speech to text here. This is the media, the audio right here. And also when I click on this feature, this is what it looks like, right? So if I chose to record, I could set my mike right now because I'm on zoom. I don't think it's going to do everything for me, but you can set your mike here based on whatever your preferences are. You can do your webcam based on whatever your preferences are and simply start recording is what you can do. Also, if you wanted to do media on your phone or something like that, you could record and then you can just simply upload to media to there's you can do that as well. So those are those options don't sound like something that you would maybe use. Thumbs up, something in the chat. Maybe you're like, I don't know if I want to be on camera, you could do an audio file. So that's also an option. I hear somebody high, that's me, Francisco, to go in all this levels that you're putting new suggest follow-up with an inbox message. Like if we record a comment or something like to the students, they get like some pop up or something that tells them that we required the masseter naught. So they would see it here. But again, these are, that's a great question. Okay, so here is where you could say, Hey Lauren, I'm giving you feedback. You want to make sure that you checking the feedback. So for example, when we get to, Let me give you a great example. When we get to assignments, there's a way that students access the assignment and the access to view their feedback. And I can walk you through what that looks like. And that's right in this space right here where you can put that information to guide the student as to where they go to access and information. But the student can come right back here and they can look at the information. Because what happens now? Go ahead and just, just like if you'd comment on their war, they don't receive direct Macedon dairying box or something. They should receive, cuz I think we tested this out a couple months ago. They should get an email. That lets them know that there is a message or a notification because they have push notifications to let me show you this, because you bring up very valid points. And I just want to make sure everybody gets it. So if I click on my face right, my account level, and if I go to notifications here, this is how the students turn all their notifications on, okay, so for this class, what would happiness for you? You would designate what things you want them to turn on. Bus, what's extremely important. So you may tell them, I want you to turn submission comments on, right. And you'll put it on to notify me immediately. So that way there'll be in there. Now, if it's a group assignment, they might need to turn. You know, if you're doing something with the discussion in a group, they might need to turn all of their posts on. But maybe after that assignment is done, they could turn them off, right? If you use scheduling or anything like that in Canvas, they are still notifications you turn on for that. So unfortunately, this is something that's directed by the student. But you can encourage this as part of your online expectations policy. Put this in your syllabus that says, hey, you know, during part of that course orientation that you stress that this is super important and you need them to have certain things turned on. But from that, the other thing that I wanted to make sure I mention is that there is settings from this same thing. This is a second set of settings. This one's a little bit different. And then this is the contact methods, right? And this is where they, China can make the decision where things will go. Along with notifications here. Cuz there's also see they've changed this a little bit since told him I think you guys are in a way. You can. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Guess Joe, I didn't mean to interrupt. But you're good on the notifications. I believe that's a global setting too. So yes, it is mentioned that that's going to affect globally. There are works. That is true. And I'm glad you said that, Joe, because hold on a second. Let's go back for it. Oh, I forgot this when you can't get out right away from here. So let me go back a second. My dashboard is faster. Okay? So if we click home, there is also for the course navigation notification specifically. So this is nu where this, this came about maybe, I don't know, three to six months ago with Canvas. So I am just at home for me. I sent home to be my modules. You might have a homepage, you may have the syllabus, but my home pages just the modules for now. At the rate here, if I click on view the course notifications, This one is supposed to be specifically for this course. The one I was showing you to Joe's point, that one is a more global one. So this is where it can get a little tricky when students might say, Well, I never got your feedback or I'd, I never got anything from you. This is where that education process for students has to occur, particularly now in the online environment. Does that help answer those questions? And thanks Joe for their own benefit. Reminding me about that. Do you have any other questions? I see some stuff flashing sign on you. You're welcome, Francisco. Very good questions. We get, we get a move on. Alright, so I am going to go to level four. So this is just where I've created an assignment. Now for purposes of this one, I am going to go into the Edit mode for the assignment because there's something really important that I need to show you in order for this to all work out. Okay, so when you do an assignment in canvas, I'm going into edit mode. So I just went to assignments. I click the blue plus the assignment, right? If I went into an assignment, I click the blue plus the assignment to get there does exactly what I did. Okay? Alright, so on level four here for this assignment, I'm going to go into the Edit mode. Okay? Now what's going to be important here is that you have to designate the submission type for the assignment. Ok, so if you hit this little carrot, it gives you some options, no submission online on paper external tool. So for purposes of what we're going through today, you need to stay online because that means a student can submit something into Canvas so that you can in turn grade it using the dark viewer that's critical. You don't have it on. They can't submit. You can't use dark viewer, okay? And there's some options that you have here. You could do a file upload. You can actually restrict the type of upload they have. Maybe can only be a Doc X or maybe it's only a PDF or they can take a picture of something, then that's where these are the pitcher files that are available. Okay. Or you could do text entry as well too, if you want to allow them to use like a Google Doc or something like that, Office 365. So that's where that comes into play. But for purposes of this demo, I'm just gonna do a file upload and is actually an image, okay? Are actually it'll be a PDF file, okay. And then really that's it from there. So just to make sure you know that, just make sure that you have it as an online submission. So again, I'm going to access those three dots are actually speak readers right here. So we can do the Thisbe grid array here. So we'll click Speak greater. Okay, that brings us into SPE greater. And so of course I've done a little bit of commenting here to just let you know. So we're actually going to use the second attempt. And that's where this PDF file came into play. Okay, so if you'll notice here, you have this annotated tool up here, right? So you can, you can make it smaller and you can make it bigger, right? You can go full screen if you wanted to. We're going to come back now. This right here always brings you back. If ever you get a little confusing, you can't turn some things off. Always come back here and it represents like you back into cursor. Ok. Here is just like if you wanted to mapping location, that's this one right here. I can click here and it allows me to create a comment on great work, right? And there, there is now my comment. So if the student comes on here, the student can actually reply and have a conversation with you. But again, that's where this education piece comes in. Gray and Francisco. This comes to the point where we talked about before. I'm going to show you what you can tell the student so that they'd be able to actually access your feedback. Okay? So this is like kind of a point on a map. Then you're able to use a highlighter. You'll notice here at the left, you can change the colors if you wanted to. So I'm going to grab some of my texts here and I'm going to make it green. I can highlight. Oh, there we go. Think that's my connection. So I can highlight and from there I can create another comment. Looks great. Okay, enter and that's there. There's also text that's available. This one. I was playing around with this one and it's not as great. I'm going to delete this one and I'll do another one. So I can do this. This is great, but there are some features to help you. So if you took the background off, you see, it's hard to see. But if you added the white background, that helps it pop. Again, you can change your colors if you wanted to, based on this as well. You can increase the size of your font if you wanted to do that. Okay, so I think it's a pretty cool feature As far as out if you wanted to highlight something. There's a straight through that's also available here. Like if you are editing some things as if it was stored for me with my connection. There we go. So there's your strikethrough. And from there you might want to have a comment or say something. This is a kind of free tool for you to scribble all around a document if you wanted to do that or circle something. And then finally you have this one where you can actually just treat a huge box and then put a comment from there. Okay? And what happens is this information is saved here for the students is seen. And so again, I may say, hi Warren. I left some comments in your paper. Please go to grades on the name of this assignment. And then click on View feedback. Okay, and that those are the actual directions to help the student. So now what I'm going to do is I'm going to, I'm going to come out at this real quick. Alright, modules. Alright, and I'm going to go back to my level for assignment. And I'm actually going to hit the little glasses. The cool thing is that this student view is everywhere now in Canvas before there are only specific ways you can access it. Now it's everywhere. So I'm gonna click on my little glasses here to see what this looks like from the student perspective. Now what's really cool? Canvases change some things. So the student actually has a progression bar now to kind of show when they assignments available that they have uploaded it, that it was successfully submitted in that, hey, guess what? Now your assignments actually graded. So this is if the student goes back into the assignment itself, ok? So that's kind of what it looks like. And so from the student perspective, this is kind of what the student would see. But these are the directions that we would give the students. So they would click on Grades. Okay. So they would go to that level four right here. This is the name. It's hyperlinked, and this is exactly what students see and their grades. And click here. Okay, this is their attachment, right? And then here's that view feedback. But you can also see my comments right here as well, right? And if I did a video or something like that, it would also be here at the right. So if they click on feedback, here it is right here where they can see it. So here's all the feedback here on my comments for the students to see. Now, if a student accesses this from a smartphone, it's gonna look way different, is probably going to smash it up, possibly. So there is this little arrow right here that helps them look at it full screen. So it could possibly look a little bit better if they're accessing it from a device other than a computer like a tablet or something like that or their smartphone. Ok. Any questions on any of that? What do you think of that? Look pretty cool. Would you use that if you didn't assignment? Ok, so again, back to your question, Francisco and your comment. This is where I do consistently follow, particularly if I notice that a student does not come back, right? Because what happens is let me show you something. So if I go back into modules, and if I go into, let me go back into this here. So if I go into speed greater. Do you see right here Student document viewed. So you can see if the student has gone back in to see, right? And more importantly, they should have been able to see your comments if they came back in here. So if a student, if you had a question like, let me know you missed this part, you can resubmit by this date. Let me know if you are interested in resubmitting and they don't respond back to you. That's where you can very easily follow up again with another comment or follow up with a canvas inbox message to say, hey, I sent you a submission comment and I gave you an opportunity to resubmit this assignment. Did you get my message? And that's where you can open the conversation up. Or maybe the student doesn't know to turn on notifications. Maybe they didn't know how to do it or they started to try to do it and they gave up. And that would be a moment where you can help that student. So it makes sense. Everybody going up, we do enough questions. Okay. Go for it. Is there a preference for word or PDF documents? I take both. As far as this submission goes, I haven't had problems between either of them. What I will say is that you want to be careful with when people are using a Mac because you can't read pages. So that's where if you noticed Hold on a second. This is where this can come into play. Me move, zoom out of the way. Hopefully I did not positive recording. The. So if I went into this assignment and if I go into edit mode, ray, that is specifically why I do this right here where I restrict something so you just want to be careful. So depending on if something requires students to take screenshots and things like that, you want to make sure that you don't prohibit them from submitting the images. You want to allow that, but you just want to make sure you restrict things to certain types, right? So it tells you here enter a list of acceptable extensions. So you'll see pages is not one of them. So if the student is trying to submit and its pages, it will now allow them to submit. Okay, so that's a, that's a good way to kinda censored that. When there is, there is another question for an H E I C document. Can somebody tell me a little bit more about that one would start extension. I'll just say I get that extension a lot when I do these assignments. And I think it's from a scanning app of some kind and I have trouble with Canvas reading them. To you. I would offer if the student if they scan and can they save it as a PDF file? That's what I try and get them to do, but yeah, interesting. I haven't heard of that one. I know that there are apps that let you do free scans and students will often use because they don't have any other way to stingy stuff or it's too difficult to kind of take a picture with their phone. They don't want to be bothered with that. So yeah. But this is this is one way to kind of help, but I don't I haven't heard of that extension zone. Any other questions? They do have an HE I see converter. Can maybe share with your students, Sara. Okay. If you do a Google search for that. Alright. Awesome. Thank you, Patty. Awesome. Alright. Any other questions? Before we move on to the Fifth Level? We're not doing so bad on time. Wow, I'm I'm I'm I'm impressed that we've been able to get through the well, plus we've had a lot of questions. Alright? So, okay. So I think I had a couple of people that have used rubrics before a show of hands, yes. Alright, awesome. Okay. So I will tell you that I think rubrics are great because rubrics make the process a little bit easier for you in terms of kind of taking a lot of the thinking out of the grading process. So what I have done with this example is I'm using this for discussion between discussion inbetween assignment. You access creating a rubric a little bit differently. But the rubric is, I think in this case, a little bit easier. So I chose to use to add a rubbery to a discussion for, for purposes of this demo. But again, if you came to the welcome bar later, we could do both. We could look at an assignment as well as look at the rubric for it, for a quiz or anything else you have so up to you. Alright, so for purposes of right now, we're just gonna do the discussion. So what happens is you hit these three dots, three dots or like everything. Just know that three dots are always everything. And so for this one, I have created a rubric. I've started it, so it's going to tell me Show rubric. But if you have never started one, it's going to say add rubric right here instead. So for right now Show rubric. And so this is what I kind of started. Okay? So it'll just pop itself up. It's right here. There's a little pencil right here. Now, if you have created a rubric or you or your colleagues charitable program with you from another section or another course that you have access to. You can actually pull that and, and use that in your course. So you could just search and then see it lists your class this year. You could always grab another bit from somewhere else, so you have access to do that as well. Okay. So for right now for purposes of this, I'm going to hit the pencil to edit the rubric. And all you're doing is you're adding criterium, right? Those criteria are right here. Those three that I started here, I did like a language and mechanics. And then I hit the plus and then I did a created initial post and then created a peer response, for example, for discussions, right? So let's say I thought of another one, Patty give me and maybe another one that I could create. Something else for discussions, padding, What do you think? Well, there's a lot of different ones, but you could say thorough hurdle that you may already have that. Who would about word count? You could do WordCount, Absolutely. Because Canvas has workout now has anybody noticed them? Has the proper counts. Wins. B's structures. We're just creating one for fine. Ok. So now you'll notice now I have four criteria, right? And then here my rating is right, so I can just carry these through all the way down. I'm just going to change the description, right? So for this one, since this was based off of creating the initial post, I may say, you know, created a new show, opposed these instructions, right, for that one. And then I would do like my number three. Well actually let me change this whole nano-second because this one I said excellent. So this would be excellent. And then for number three, this one would be my good. For the initial post. Initial post. Closely on instruction. I don't know something like that, right? Where you're basically going to kind of base this off of your scale is what you're doing. Let's say I completed all of this is kind of tabulating the points here for me, it's saying all together this is going to be 20 points. Now the key that's going to be important to really get the best use out of this is by default, these will not have checkpoints. But if you want to use this in speed grader and for it to kind of automatically calculate for you when you're grading, you need to say select, use this rubric for grading, assignment. For grading, you update the rubric. It's gonna sometimes yell at you and say, well, there's some numbers here. Do you want to change it or leave it different? You can go had to change it. Ok. So now if I were to go into user three dots again, if I go into speed greater now, I see my little sample posterior that my students at which this is clearly not up to the criteria that I have submitted in my rubric, right? And if I click view rubric, I'm going to slide this over. This is really cool too, because you could look at every day, you could look at their posts as well as see the rubric side-by-side, right? So I have my things here. Literally all that I need to do is just click on, well in this case they don't have anything, right? So I'll click all the way here. You can also have written comments here. What happened, Richard? With your opposed or something like that, right? That you can totally add these comments here. So you can have comments as well as you have the grading. All you're doing is clicking on the things here. You have to make sure that you save that, right. My comment shows here all of the grading is here. It automatically tabulated in, went here at the top of the grade. And then I can also submit comments here to say, hi Richard, I missed you on this assignment. Forgive my ears. What happens? You know, I added some comments in the rubric for you, that type of thing, and you can just submit it. And so again, you want to direct the students to let them know they are comments in the rubric, I've given you submission comments. So again, it's just making sure between the feedback, you communicate that feedback, communicate how they get there, how they access it. So same thing. They can go to their grades, right? Actually, since we're doing great on time, I can actually walk you through that again. So let's come out of here. And to keep moving zoom way. Alright, so we're at level five, right? Okay, I'm going to click while my glasses again for student view. Okay, so I am now the student. So the teacher tells me, oh, okay, so you can see here I have this notification, Francisco, You're asking about notifications. So here's another way that students should know that there's this number here. Well, what does that mean? So if they click on grades, they come integrates. There it is. Again, there's a notification letting them know something is new, right? This expression, it's new. So there are a couple of things that students can do. They can click right here on my comments, right? And bam, there my comments right there I am is John's assignment, yada, yada, yada, right? I can close that. I can also click on the little rubric icon and look, the rubric is here. They can see my comment in the rubric, right? So this is basically how that they can, how they can access that. They can still click on this as well, right? And they can see this here. They could see the rubric here as well off to the side. So there are lots of ways for the students to be able to kind of see that any questions about that? Using the rubric, okay? Alright, I'm going to leave student view, okay? And I'm actually going to click over here and forgive the scroll. So these are the things that I kinda wanna stress, right? We've been talking about this throughout, showing you all of the levels. But really you need to set the expectations because the students don't know Re, because think about it. If they're taking three or four other classes, they have three or four other youth that are different, right? Who say don't use Canvas inbox or say, use this or I don't use that or. Look at the syllabus. Or they don't use Dimension comments, or they don't use Canvas is heavily. Maybe they use Publisher content in the student accesses publisher content. So please just keep that in mind. Everybody that's teaching, your students, that's taking your class has completely different expectations. So it will be so imperative for you to set. Your expectations are what your personal style is, and how you want the students to interface with you, communicate, and what your expectations of your feedback are, right? Like if feedback is super important in your class because it's an English class and they're gonna be doing drafts and they need to build off of the feedback you're giving them. You have to make sure they know that, right? That we talked about the notifications and canvas, super, super important. Make sure that that is part of that course orientation in that first module, that first week. Cuz if you can set the standard of them constantly making it a habit just like their social media, where they get in, they check their email every day. They check the course every day. They check to see if anything's changed. They check due dates, they check feedback, all of that as part of expectations, right? So I can't stress that enough. Make sure it's in the syllabus. Make sure it's in the orientation module. Make sure you remind them and announcements, inbox messages. But I think outside of that, if you do those things, I think that will help you with your overall communication and feedback with your students in your classes and avoiding some. So any questions on anything else I can help you out with or make suggestions or what do you think? You can unmute? You can chat. You can oh, that I can look at the chat now because now not multitasking. We did have one question come in. That was regarding Can you restrict file types in quizzes? So I looked that up and it seems you are not in the, in the Canvas quizzes, but you can and new quizzes. So I dropped a link in there, or whether they're awesome. Thank you, Patty. Awesome, awesome, awesome. Anybody using nucleuses are new? Some Sarah, You were just audit it off. I'm OK. Well, if there's anything else, I can answer. I will stick around until two o'clock. We could try some stuff if you all want to share your strings. I think we have access to a lot of people, don't. You see? I will turn it on for you to share your screens if there's something that you want to show off or what, how should show us something that you're trying to do? We can help you right here. We have plenty of time. Okay. Thank. Thanks, guys. Thanks so much.
