What feature options are currently available for Canvas courses?

Allow Outcome Extra Credit allows you to award more than the maximum possible score on an outcome in a rubric.

Note: Excess points for a rubric criterion can be awarded at any time and are not managed by this feature option.

Anonymous Instructor Annotations allows instructors to create assignments with anonymous instructor annotations in DocViewer-supported submissions. When students view instructor comments in DocViewer, comments do not display an instructor's name.

Anonymous Grading requires all course assignments to be graded anonymously in SpeedGrader. Students can view whether or not an assignment was graded anonymously in both the student Grades page and the sidebar of the assignment submission page.

If this feature option is off, you can still set anonymous grading for individual assignments in the SpeedGrader Settings menu.

Moderated Grading allows anyone with assignment creation permissions to specify an assignment submission to be reviewed by one or multiple graders, review the assignment grades, and select which grade should be set as the final grade for each student.

For each moderated submission, the moderator does not have to personally grade the assignment, but only they can specify the final grade for each assignment. Once the assignment is created, only the moderator and admins will be able to change the assigned final grader.

Anonymous Moderated Grading

When the Anonymous Grading and Moderated Grading feature options are both enabled, content creators can create assignments that hide student names from graders and set moderating options. All options for both anonymous grading and moderated grading are displayed for the assignment on the assignment details page.

MasteryPaths allows you to customize learning experiences to students based on student performance. Along with course designers, you can identify activities for each student’s learning path and differentiate assignments for required learning, optional learning, or choosing their own content and assignments within a specific path.

External Collaborations Tool allows users to view an updated interface for Collaborations. This feature option only applies when the Microsoft Office 365 LTI and Google Apps LTI are enabled as external apps.

Enabling the External Collaborations Tool removes the links to all existing collaborations and no longer allows users to create collaborations with the existing Google Drive option. If you want to retain existing collaborations, do not enable the External Collaborations Tool feature option.
