Do you find yourself scrolling through your Canvas Gradebook, looking at the variety of students who haven\u2019t submitted a different variety of assignments, wondering how to cajole them all to successfully cross the finish line? Canvas provides a way to reach out efficiently.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">With the Message Students Who feature, you can craft specific messages and send them only to the students they apply to. This is most useful to remind students who haven\u2019t submitted an assignment yet, or students who scored lower than a certain number of points on an assignment (I know, I know, we don\u2019t grade. But some of us use numbers as indicators of completion. We\u2019re working with Canvas\u2019s limited worldview.).\u00a0 You can also communicate with students whose assignments you haven\u2019t had a chance to grade yet, just to let them know what\u2019s up. And if some students scored more than a certain point value, you can message those students to give them kudos, or to provide class-level feedback to students who are finished with an assignment, but not to those who haven\u2019t done it yet.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><br \/><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Here\u2019s the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/community.canvaslms.com\/t5\/Instructor-Guide\/How-do-I-send-a-message-to-students-from-the-Gradebook\/ta-p\/741#:~:text=Students%20Who%20link.-,Select%20Message%20Category,deselecting%20their%20role%20%5B2%5D.\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">step by step guide to Message Students Who<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, straight from the makers of Canvas.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Timothy Corvidae (he\/him), Instructional Designer at the Washington Center, brings a range of experience in curriculum design, instruction, and facilitation.&#46;&#46;&#46;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10237,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mi_skip_tracking":false,"_s2mail":"no"},"categories":[1,95,111],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.evergreen.edu\/ltc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5889"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.evergreen.edu\/ltc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.evergreen.edu\/ltc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.evergreen.edu\/ltc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/10237"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.evergreen.edu\/ltc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5889"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/sites.evergreen.edu\/ltc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5889\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5891,"href":"https:\/\/sites.evergreen.edu\/ltc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5889\/revisions\/5891"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.evergreen.edu\/ltc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5889"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.evergreen.edu\/ltc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5889"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.evergreen.edu\/ltc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5889"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
