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: what is overdue first, then the next 7 days, one day at a time, each day's work ranked by what to do first, with how much each 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, peer reviews Canvas assigned you included: overdue, then the next 7 days, one day at a time, then later. Each row says its course, when it is due, and what share of your course grade it carries; one that is not open yet, or closed, says so. - 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. - Work you handed in says where it stands: the score once released, else that it is graded but not released yet, not graded yet, or excused; with any late deduction and, where attempts are limited, how many you have used. - 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. - Reminders: a notification when work is due within 3 hours or has just gone overdue, and one morning summary. Settings sets quiet hours or turns them off. - Write-back: with write-back turned on in Settings, marking an assignment done here also marks it done on your Canvas planner. - Claude connection (optional, off by default): Claude can answer what is due and what to do first from Kandue's ranked list, your assignments' instructions, announcements and grades. In a course you grade, Claude reads each quiz question's distinct answers with how many students gave each, and suggests a decision on each with its reason; you keep, change or drop each one and save. Claude changes no grade. If you grade - A queue of every assignment with students of yours still to grade, longest wait first (practice work that counts toward no grade is left out), and behind each the worklist for your block, each student linking straight into SpeedGrader. - Submission page: a student opens on one page with their work beside a score and comment box. Word files are drawn as pages, PDFs and images open in Chrome's viewer, and files they attached to a comment are listed beside the submission's own. Saving checks Canvas first, so a grade another grader entered meanwhile is never overwritten unseen. - Who grades whom: an even block per grader in Canvas name order, rotating by one grader each 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. - Student lookup: every assignment of one student in one list. - Grading report through Claude: with the Claude connection on, Claude reads what is left to grade from Kandue by grader, student and team, with peer scores on request; Claude's own Google Sheets connector writes it into your team's sheet. Kandue itself edits no sheet. - 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. Kandue fixes it after a preview and your confirmation. 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. Pasted comments from a sheet are added to an assignment in one step. - One morning summary of what waits in your block, beside your own deadlines. Settings sets quiet hours or turns it off. - Quizzes question by question: a student's answers beside the key with a score and comment on each, or one question across the class as its distinct answers, each decided once for everyone who gave it. A preview before every change Before it writes to a course you grade (group sets, comments you paste, grades from peer scores), Kandue shows a preview of the change and writes only after you click. 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 Kandue detects the Canvas address; on your school's own domain, enter the address in Settings. If you grade, check in Settings which students it puts in your block. Independent project, not affiliated with Instructure or Canvas LMS.
