Kandue for Canvas LMS

Every Canvas deadline in one queue, ranked. For a course you teach or TA, what is left to grade, longest wait first.

Kandue puts every Canvas deadline from every course into one queue, ranked by what to do first: how soon it is due and how much it counts toward your course grade. For a course you teach or TA, the same panel holds a second queue: which of your students still wait on a grade, longest wait first. It opens in Chrome's side panel, beside your work, from the toolbar button or from the Kandue item in Canvas's own navigation. If you hand work in - One queue of every deadline: overdue, due today, this week, later. Each row says when it is due, what kind of work it is, and what share of your course grade it carries. - Each assignment opens inside the panel: its instructions, why it ranks where it does, and a what-if for your course grade. Mark it done there. - Your announcements from every course in one list. - A find bar: type part of a name and it opens the course page, module item, assignment or announcement you meant. - Your deadlines in Google Calendar, Apple Calendar or Outlook: Settings adds Canvas's own calendar feed, which keeps due dates current there. - Done on Canvas too: with write-back turned on in Settings, marking an assignment done here also marks it done on your Canvas planner. If you grade - A queue of every assignment with students of yours still to grade, longest wait first, and behind each the worklist for your block, each student linking straight into SpeedGrader. - Who grades whom, worked out for you: an even block per grader in Canvas name order, moving on by one every assignment. It can also be read from the grades already entered, from Canvas groups named for the TAs, or set by hand. Students nobody has graded yet are named rather than dropped. - Find one student and see every assignment of theirs at once. - Copy for Sheets: what is left to grade as a table for your TA team's Google Sheet, one row per grader with how many they have left, one row per student naming who grades them, every cell still to grade linking to SpeedGrader. Pasting again over it updates it. - The course report in a page of its own: every grader's backlog, the scores each grader gave against the course mean, each criterion's average from each grader, and every student's row. - Teams: who hands in each assignment (each student, every team, or only some teams) checked against Canvas, so a group set copied by hand with a member in the wrong team is caught before a group grade reaches the wrong students. Fixed in one click after a preview. Peer scores, from Canvas peer reviews or peer-evaluation Word files, in one table of who gave whom what, and entered as grades if you choose. - Comments students left that still wait on a reply, in the queue. Paste a sheet of comments onto an assignment in one go. - Reminders when work in your block has waited, and a morning summary. Settings sets the threshold and quiet hours, or turns them off. A preview before every change Before it writes to a course you grade (group sets, comments you paste, grades from peer scores), Kandue shows exactly what will change and waits for your button press. Where it opens The toolbar button shows a brief: how your week stands, and the next thing to do, whether that is work to hand in or work to grade. From it, the side panel opens with the deadline queue and, for a course you teach or TA, the grading queue. The course report and Teams open on Kandue's dashboard page, which needs the width. Getting started Kandue works with the Canvas sign-in you already have and reads which role you hold in each course. On a .edu or instructure.com address it finds your Canvas by itself; on your school's own domain, enter the address in Settings. If you grade, check in Settings which students it puts in your block.
