Canvas: Sending different Google Forms questionnaires to different sections in the same course

Suppose I have a course consisting of a mix of online and residential sections and I want to distribute a different questionnaire to each section as a Google Form.

One option would be to send the link to the form as an Inbox message where the recipients were specified by section.

Suppose further, however, that I want to put the link to the questionnaires in the course Modules so that students only see the link for their questionnaire?


First I set up two assignments, zero points, submission type "No submission" and assign each assignment to the intended section. 


There is a warning dialog. Just click on Continue. This is what you mean to do.


Set up the link for the other section, in this case the online section, in the same way. Now you have two assignments, each assigned to one section.


Add both assignments to the desired Module. You will see both.


A student in the residential section, however, only sees the assignment assigned to them.


A student in the online section only sees the assignment for the online section. And, yes, this student in an online section has 103 unread Inbox messages. The struggle to communicate is real.


If one is willing to forgo use of Google Forms, Classic Quizzes in Canvas has an Ungraded Survey option. Quizzes, like assignments, can be assigned by section, so one could make two different Ungraded Surveys, assigning each the desired section. With an Ungraded Survey assigned to only one section, only that one section would see the quiz. As far as I know the two Ungraded Surveys could be added to modules and would behave just like the addition of the two assignments.


Another possibility would be to send the Google Forms link out by email to the students' edu accounts, the addresses can be found in People for a course.

Traditional food dishes of Micronesia

Image
Clara, Jennette, and Joanie presented ground hard taro cooked in an umw, effectively a hot rock oven. Pohnpeian: rotama. Pingelapese: sero. Mwoakillese: rodma. Mortlockese: Amahd. Kosrae: rodoma. After cooking in an umw the rotama is pounded with the petiole of a palm frond. Rotama is made from hard or swamp taro, known as mwahng on Pohnpei, mweian on Pingalap, pula in Mortlockese, and pahsruhk on Kosrae. In traditional times on the outer islands the women had primary responsibility for tending the taro while the men handled fishing and climbing tasks. Joesen and Noeleen presented fermented breadfruit from the outer islands of Yap such as Woleai and Eauripik. The raw ingredients were actually brought in from Yap, Noeleen prepared the maare.  The leaf wrap is ti leaf - Cordyline fruticosa. Pauleen, Barnson, Trisha, Verginia, Con-ray, and Maylanda from Kitti, Pohnpei brought in mahi umw, koahpnoair koakihr, and uht sukusuk. Above is breadfruit umw, mahi umw, o...

Setting up a boxplot chart in Google Sheets with multiple boxplots on a single chart

Image
The  Google Statistics  add-on for Google Sheets can display multiple boxplots in a single chart. The key is the layout of the data. One column should be the variable by which the data is to be grouped, the other column should be the data to be box plotted. Set up the Statistics add-on with the data to be plotted as the variable, and the grouping column as the "by" variable. In this image I had deselected all but the boxplot option, the result was the appearance of the Moment, Standard errors, and Confidence intervals options. The default is apparently a 95% confidence interval for the mean. The result is multiple boxplots on a single chart with a common scale. The new tab that is created also quotes 95% confidence intervals for the mean. Note that as of 2018 the Google Statistics add-on cannot be found by search in the add-ons. In addition, as of May 2018 the add-on no longer verifies, possibly due to the add-on not having been updated since August 2017. One may ha...

Plotting polar coordinates in Desmos and a vector addition demonstrator

Image
In an earlier post I noted that Desmos did not directly plot polar coordinates. Not only was I incorrect, but Desmos responded to my blog to correct me! Although I had at some point seen that one could define a function f(x)=3x+5 and then have Desmos calculate f(6), I had not absorbed how this might be used to plot polar coordinates. The above works beautifully . Realizing that I could effectively program Desmos, I applied this thinking to demonstrating how to add two vectors when given the magnitudes m and the direction angles theta. The graph calculates the i and j components for the two vectors and then adds the vectors, graphically displaying the result while also providing information on the magnitude and direction of the vector sum. m1 and theta1 are the magnitude and direction angle for one of the two vectors, m2 and theta2 are the magnitude and direction for the other vector. All four are dynamically interactive and can be changed. The diagram purports to illustra...
