The Comeback Kit: Managing Make-Up Work in Canvas

Every course handles grade recovery differently, and make-up policies are yours to set. But whatever your policy, Canvas has tools that make it faster to find out who’s behind, reopen work for the students who’ve earned a second chance, and show students exactly where they stand, without a flood of email exchanges. In this session, we’ll cover:

• Making sure your gradebook tells the truth: posted grades and correctly configured extra credit
• Reopening assignments and granting extensions with “Assign To”
• Sending targeted outreach with “Message Students Who”
• Running missing-assignment reports in Course Analytics
• Showing students the “What-If” grade tool so they can answer their own “can I still pass?” question
• Connecting students with support using Starfish referrals
