Issue for instructors with comments made in SpeedGrader when using Chrome

Hello Faculty,
I just wanted to make you aware of an issue with the SpeedGrader in Canvas.  I have heard reports of this issue at CCC.  Comments in SpeedGrader made on students’ papers may not display correctly for you when using Chrome.  Using Firefox seems to work fine.  Your students should not experience the issue.  Instructure is working to resolve this as quickly as possible.  

Please let me know if you have any questions

Canvas Bug Bulletin
Annotation display incorrectly in Chrome 31+

Hi Admins--

Annotations applied to documents via Crocodoc are displaying poorly in Chrome 31+. The problem appears on both Mac and PC, but it looks a little different on each:


We're working with our friends at Crocodoc on this issue. It's something they will need to fix on their side. We don't have an ETA to share yet, but we will keep you informed. Since this is not a Canvas issue, you don't need to submit further tickets to us about the problem--although you're certainly welcome to do so. :-)

Thanks,

Canvas Support

Mobile Series: Submissions From the Student Point of View

Students and instructors who use Canvas Mobile Apps need to know how to move documents and media files from their mobile apps into Canvas for their assignment submissions. This session will address the four of the most common assignment workflows from the student's point of view so teachers can provide better instruction and assistance.

Peering Inside Peer Reviews
Graded discussions and graded assignments can easily function as peer review assignments. Yay! Yet, ambiguity exists surrounding what you can and can't do with the peer review tool. Boo! These sessions will dive deeper into the peer review tool and shed some light into designing effective peer reviews in Canvas.
