AssessmentTable
What does it look like?
Rather than representing each module as a card, the AssessmentTable representation represents each module as the row in table. A table designed explicitly for summarising the assessment for a course. The properties section below provides more detail on the displayed columns.
The following animated image shows the same vanilla Canvas course, but using the AssessmentTable representation. The first module of the Why? collection has been configured with metadata for weighting and learningOutcomes and this information is displayed. None of the modules for the What? and How? collections have learningOutcomes, hence that column is not visible for these collections.
Properties (columns)
The columns of the AssessmentTable representation (Title, Description, Weighting, Due Date, and Learning Outcomes) are populated from various properties of the allocated modules.
Not all columns, all the time
If none of the modules have defined the weighting and learning outcomes properties, then those columns will not appear to students.
Title
The title column is taken directly from the name of the module.
The intent is that the module name represents the title of the assessment task students need to complete.
Description
The description column is taken from the standard Canvas Collections description property.
The intent is that the description provides students with some additional high-level information about the assessment task.
Due Date
The Due Date column is taken from the standard Canvas Collections dates property.
The intent being to provide the student some indication of the due date for the assessment task.
Weighting and Learning Outcomes
The Weighting and Learning Outcomes columns are specific to the AssessmentTable representation. They are populated using Canvas Collections' metadata feature. The table below shows the metadata names and example values for the Weighting and Learning Outcomes columns.
The intent being to provide students with additional important information about the assessment task.
| Metadata Name | Example Value |
|---|---|
learning outcomes |
1, 2, 3 |
weighting |
10% |
