An instructor asked me if his extra credit setup in Canvas would mess up his gradebook. He was using a weighted assignment group and the extra credit group was assigned a 0% weight, which I know you are not supposed to do, but I also thought that going over 100% in Canvas was also a “no-no.” Back when I was learning Canvas, I was told that there wasn’t a good way to do extra credit; but there have been many updates since then and I had to ask around again for a solution. I was hoping someone would have found a way by now and my coworker, Dena, came in with the win.
If you are also looking for information about adding extra credit to your course, then I encourage you to read this Canvas Instructor Guide article, How Do I Give Extra Credit in a Course?
