Overview

The Learning Mastery Gradebook, an optional feature in Canvas, lets instructors and administrator see at a glance whether students have mastered learning outcomes defined at the course, department, school/college, or campus level.

The Learning Mastery Gradebook provides both a student and teacher view for optimal usage. The default teacher view gives color-coded mastery scores for each student and summary statistics for the entire class. Results can be exported to a .csv file and filtered by mastery level. An optional student view or Student Mastery Gradebook, which must also be enabled, lets students see which outcomes they have mastered and which require further development.
