The University of Wisconsin System instance of Canvas held a meeting on February 23, 2022, to review upcoming features in Canvas. New Features available in Canvas after 03/19/2022

System Level

  • Rich Content Editor - Equation Editor Update: When a user creates equations in the Rich Content Editor. the Equation Editor displays an updated user interface.
  • Improved Outcomes Management - Individual Outcome Rating and Calculations Method Options: Outcome rating levels and calculation methods can be set for individual outcomes. This update will have no immediate impact, because the team has made the recommendation to stick with Classic Outcomes until more of these kinds of improvements are made to Improved Outcomes Management.
  • New Quizzes - Item Bank Filtering Terminology Adjustments: In New Quizzes item banks the All My Banks and All My Course Banks filters have been replaced as the All Banks and Banks Shared to Course filters. Additionally, the This Course filter has been added to the filter options. 

Course Level

  • Gradebook - Enhanced Gradebook Filters: When the Enhanced Gradebook Filters feature preview is enabled for a course, instructors can create filters that can be saved or used one time. 

The 03/19/2022 release does not contain any items that allow for changes made at the user level.
