Gradebook – Select Multiple Gradebook Filters
In the gradebook, instructors can now choose multiple filter options for each filter type to simplify the process of managing filter selections and to provide increased customization options. Please review the feature release video:
For more information about filtering your gradebook, please see the Canvas guides, How do I filter columns and rows in the Gradebook? and How do I create and manage filters in the Gradebook?
New Quizzes – Answer Frequency Summary for Additional Question Types
This update to the Item Analysis Report provides another question type for instructors to evaluate student responses. The Answer Frequency Summary charts now display the total number of correct responses, incorrect responses, and no responses for the Fill in the Blank type question type. For more information about the statistical data available for New Quizzes, please see the Canvas guide, How do I view reports for a quiz in New Quizzes?
Rich Content Editor – Removal of Non-Web Safe Font Options (February 28 deploy)
Canvas has removed the following non-web safe fonts from the rich content editor (RCE) interface: Andale Mono, Book Antiqua, Comic Sans MS, Helvetica, Impact, Symbol, Terminal, Webdings, and Wingdings. This update did not impact any current user content, and existing use of these fonts persisted after the update. Removing these fonts from the RCE interface ensures all users view the same font.
For more information, browse the Canvas Release Notes to find updated features or bug fixes that apply to you based on your Canvas usage. If you have any questions about the changes or about how to use Canvas effectively, IT-Academic Technology Services staff is always available at the IT-ATS Welcome Bar or you can send your questions to canvas-info@udel.edu.
