Greetings, CAHS! 

How to Create a GIF Using After Effects

Student to Faculty:  Hi Dr. Nemo, I left a very important comment under the feedback that you left for me in the gradebook?

Faculty to Student:  What comment? 

Did you know that students can respond to the feedback comment that you leave them in the gradebook?  If you are interested in also learning how to receive an alert notification if a student leaves a comment after your feedback comment in the gradebook, see the screenshots below.  Also, you also have the capability to check students comments within your Canvas inbox.  The instructions for this are also listed below.  As always if you would like to learn more or need a tutorial please don’t hesitate to reach out to me.

Turning On Submission Comments Notifications – Canvas

On the left sidebar in Canvas, click “Account.” In the expanded bar, click “Notifications,” and scroll down until you see “Submission Comment.” If the Submission Comments setting is off (gray crossed-out bell icon), please click the icon to set it to your desired notification frequency. 

Checking Student Submission Comments within the inbox.

On the left-hand sidebar in Canvas, click on “Inbox.” Click on the top bar labelled “Inbox” to open up the drop down menu, then click “Submission.”

You can now view student comments here. Clicking the blue text on top of the student message will bring you back to their submission.

Best Wishes!
