Question
How do faculty in clerkships get notified of assignment submissions to grade? How can they customize notifications only for one canvas site?
Answer
Background
- Canvas takes an end-user focus approach to notifications, meaning each user has complete control over how they get notifications: globally (meaning every course) and individually on a per-course basis.
- Notifications can either be received immediately via email, a daily digest, a weekly digest, or not at all.
- For faculty in the clerkships grading direct observation or other assignments, the recommendation is to make sure at the minimum to receive an immediate notification for assignment Submissions.
- Faculty will only receive notifications for students they are supposed to grade.
- If faculty only wants to receive assignment notifications for their course, they can turn off assignment notifications in their global settings, then turn them on at the specific clerkship canvas site.
- Specific instructions to adjust global and course specific notifications are available in the following google doc: Canvas - Clerkship Assignment Faculty Notifications Guide
