Technology Tips & Updates

Canvas has recently updated the process for posting an assignment’s grades to be viewed by students inside the Gradebook. Instructors can prevent students from seeing an assignment's grade until they are ready for that information to be released. In previous versions of the Canvas Gradebook, this process was enabled by using the mute/un-mute grades feature. The new method is called Manual/Automatic Grade Posting Policy.
