Strictly Snakes (ID: 000000128d95a18c) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 08/02/2023 WOW, I have just come across this, this is going to help with my reporting to my HOD. Keep up the good work.

Gregory Bruich (ID: 000000cdac8d6f83) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 01/10/2023 CanvasCape solves a huge number of administrative problems for the large undergraduate classes that I teach at Harvard. The tools we use the most are the batch grade upload tool, which facilitates uploading a spreadsheet of grades where not all the student identifiers may be available, and the roster export tool. The latter tool creates a formatted spreadsheet with each student's email address, name (with separate columns for first name, last name, and full name), IDs, as well as "role" (e.g., guest, enrolled, prospective enrollee). These are essential pieces of information needed to properly manage a large class, but were not easy to access. We have also used the "roll call" with ID card scanners, which allowed us to take attendance easily and accurately.

Alex Naar (ID: 0000008a9ebfba72) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 09/06/2022 A wonderful tool that makes working with Canvas so much easier! Regularly updated and developer is very responsive. Can't recommend enough!

Cortney Leigh Cox (ID: 0000006096e390d3) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 03/23/2022 This is a great tool with many features and short, easy to understand video guides. I love the Add Gradebook Notes Columns. Grader Analytics gives you a nice overview of what is going on with teaching assistant grading to help balance work loads. The Photo Roster is a super way to get an at a glance look at your students. Especially helpful for asynchronous class instructors that don't get to see all their students in live meetings. Thank you for building this tool!

Sarah Ledoux (ID: 000000bcb3810a22) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 03/23/2022 This tool is the missing puzzle piece, the key to the locked door, the magic word for Canvas! It puts a lot of disparate functionality at the tip your mouse, and makes many complicated and time-consuming tasks doable. As an account admin and faculty member it's infinitely useful account-wide and on the course-level. It helps to create a better end-user experience. Gabe has opened up so many possibilities with this extension and is so easy to work with.
