Upgraded Canvas Grade Sync
Due to a limitation with Canvas’ implementation of LTI 1.3, there were some issues with Feedback Loop’s grade push to Canvas, particularly in large courses. This update uses Canvas’ much more performant API connection instead to deliver the following improvements:
- Sending grades from Feedback Loop to your Canvas gradebook is now much faster.
- Grades are automatically sent when a survey closes. No additional click needed!
- Grade push works seamlessly even in very large courses.
- Any late penalty that is set in Canvas now automatically applies to Feedback Loop’s grades.
Update Teams Button
Some of our users create new surveys before importing their teams. To better support this flow, we added an update Teams button that displays in a draft state survey and allows instructors to retrieve the latest team roster before scheduling or sending a survey. This button also triggers an LMS sync to ensure you have the latest student and team roster.
Teams Page Update
Editing a team’s name now requires an explicit action (clicking the edit button) to avoid any mis-clicks and accidental renaming when scrolling around the teams page.
Student Performance Reports PDFs Now Available in All Results Views
Our previous update added a PDF export for “released results” which are the performance report views for students. This update brings released results to all three layers of results views:
- All Teams: provides a single PDF document with one page per student to easily view students’ released results in bulk. Also useful for classroom printouts.
- Team Results: A pdf that displays every student on a given team’s released results view.
- Single Student: PDF export of one student’s released results report.
Improved Report Load Times for Very Large Courses
In 500+ student courses, load times for exports have been improved. This includes results exports and released results PDF exports.
Bug Fix: Response View Tab Ordering
In rare instances, students’ response view tabs were mis-ordered. This did not block the student from completing the survey, but it created an inconsistent user experience across students. This is now fixed and student’s response views always place themselves first, then their teammates, then any non team-targeting questions last.
