Simplify the planner tab
Simplify the Planner Tab: Offer a simplified version of the new planner tab for students who find the current interface overly cluttered or too complex. To simplify the idea; basically the planner is too complex to understand. By implementing this, we can add a newer and more simpler version of the planner! That way we can organise notes, due tasks, etc more easier and efficiently!

PLEASE READ THIS AND VOTE UP
We need to be able to use the dark mode AND have the teatchers do highlighted things. I use dark mode and ANNYTIME that ANNY teatcher desides to highlight annything not blue, purple, or a dark yellow, it just showes as a REALLY faint white, no mader what it is in. Even in a photo. The problem is that the words allso go pure white. So ANNY time a teatcher highlights ANNYTHING thats not thoes three colors it just becomes a rectangle of light. To be able to see it i need to turn of and later back on my brightness. If WE COULD PLEASE fix that that would be AMAZEING!!! PLEASE!!!. Allso “/\ Delphinium” background is not afected by light mode, but the words inside sometimes are. This means that the words are tanis-white and the background is PURE BURNING WHITE. PLEASE FIX THESE. I WOULD PERSONALLY FIND YOU AND THANK YOU (Im just kidding, so thanks now (You are now guilt tripped into voteing this up)).

Cumulative Confetti🎊
The confetti options we have are none, normal, extra, and insane. it falls whenever the to-do list is notified that an assignment is completed (checking off or refreshing page). what would be cool tho, is that if the confetti would cumulate the more assignments you did. this wouldn’t really apply if you checked them of on the to do list, as they would each play their individual confetti, but for page refreshers (like me) It would be rewarding to complete a bunch of assignments, reload the dashboard and see mounds of confetti fall.🎊💖happy summer break

Remove the person icon from everything on the new sidebar?
This isn’t that big of a deal but it’s stressing me out for some reason. There is a tiny person icon (that looks like the account icon) next to every section on my sidebar, and I want to take it off. It makes it look so busy and its overwhelming me for some reason. There might be a way already but I can not find it.

The Option to customise our extension
Although there are themes and everything, sometimes I have to pick between two themes which I want, which causes me trouble… So with the idea of either being able to merge the themes and click the things we want from different themes to be present on our screen or just to customise and move widgets around, I believe customisation should be a feature in canvas…

Digital Minigames
I understand that part of this idea has been recommended a little by other users but hear me out, maybe we have access to a small market and we earn coins/currency after doing tasks, organising our planner, spending time on the site, etc. After this, we can browse and buy mini games which can be played at anytime. Maybe we can also buy different amounts of confetti, from insane to a screen-full! We can buy different features through simple tasks on better campus and maybe one can do this without an account? Hope this appeals to ya’ll.

foreground blurring
for when the background image is the same as the foreground image, it would be wonderful if we could keep the colors of the background (not having to add a gradient) but could still increase visibility by blurring the background behind text in the foreground. :)

option to change highlight colors
Sometimes teachers use highlight colors on their text that have unequal contrast with the background/text color I’ve changed in my theme, but I can’t edit things on their side through what we currently have. It would be such a gamechanger if there was an option to set equivalents, for example if they used a yellow highlight color it could change to blue, or whatever the user’s preference is.

I will not be posting anymore ideas until August (EXCEPT for THIS ONE), because it is my Summer VACATION!! ❤ 😽
So in canvas, (hopefully everyone knows) the what if grades pop up to see what happens if you change something. well what if there was a feature that would tell you what you have to do and get in order to get a passing grade. FOR EXAMPLE: Lets say you have a 70% in math. (Pretty bad right?!) well you go into the grades and scramble around trying to click the what if grades to see what you can do to change/bump your grade up if you work on something specific, [EXAMPLE within example] outcome 5 summative, you click the dash and change it from { - / 80 } into { 70 / 80 } then your grade pops up to a 78% . NOW THAT IS ALL TOO MUCH AM I RIGHT?!?! |I|I|I| SO: 🔽 THE SOLUTION 🔽 (😮 wow) The computer base thingamajig does all the work for ya! EXAMPLE OF SOLUTION: You have a 71% in English, but if you click grades and scroll down, the grades page is changed and looks EVEN BETTER, tells you what you need to do in order for you to get that 71% to at least an 80%. THE GRADE PAGE HELPER would be something like: IMPORTANT! in order to fix that 71% you must get a 73% or higher on the upcoming checkpoint, then you better study for that summative because you’ll need to get an 81% or higher as well. | That is if you want to get at least an 80% in English entirely.

I would really like to bring back the assignments tab!! The new planner is a bit complicated and has a lot of features that I frankly don’t use, so either bringing back the old assignments tab or the option to simplify the planner tab would be great.

Australian uni grading system
PLEASE The Australian 7-point grading system differs fundamentally from the American Grade Point Average (GPA) in its scale range, the value given to a passing mark, and how overall averages are calculated. Use resources like the OzTREKK GPA Conversion Chart or the GPA Calculator to visualize and compare transcript conversions directly. [1, 2, 3] The two systems compare in the following ways: 1. The Scale and Grade Values American GPA: Generally uses a \(4.0\) scale, where \(A = 4.0\), \(B = 3.0\), \(C = 2.0\), \(D = 1.0\), and \(F = 0.0\). The numbers represent an average of the points assigned to each letter grade. Australian 7-Point Scale: Uses a \(7.0\) maximum scale, where \(7\) is the highest grade (High Distinction). In this system, you are graded per course rather than awarded letter grades. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] 2. The Passing Threshold American GPA: A typical pass requires a \(C\) or \(C-\), which translates to a standard US GPA of \(1.7\) to \(2.0\). A student needs around \(60\%\) to \(70\%\) knowledge depending on the institution's curve. Australian 7-Point Scale: The minimum passing mark is 50%, which equates to exactly a \(4.0\) on the 7-point scale. Anything below a \(50\%\) (\(<4.0\)) is an automatic fail. [1, 2] 3. Grading Categories Australian grading is often tighter at the top: 7.0 (High Distinction): Usually \(85\% - 100\%\). 6.0 (Distinction): Usually \(75\% - 84\%\). 5.0 (Credit): Usually \(65\% - 74\%\). 4.0 (Pass): Usually \(50\% - 64\%\). Below 4.0 (Fail): Less than \(50\%\). [1] 4. Calculation Method and Curves American GPA: Many US universities use a weighted/unweighted scale for advanced classes (like AP or Honors), and grades are frequently "curved" based on class performance. Australian 7-Point Scale: The GPA is calculated by multiplying the grade value (0-7) by the credit point value of the course, and then dividing by the total credit points. It is a strict numerical average without a standard weighted system for different class difficulties. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] Conversion to US Standards When converting an Australian grade to an American standard, a popular baseline formula used by admissions offices is: \(\text{US\ GPA}=\left(\frac{\text{Australian\ GPA}}{7}\right)\times 4\) [1] For example, an Australian GPA of \(5.25\) equates to a \(3.0\) on the American \(4.0\) scale.

Canvas Dark Mode Quizzes
I think the dark mode is lacking in some aspects but most importantly for the quiz sections. It doesn’t affect it at all and whenever I go to take a quiz I feel like I just got flash banged because of the differences between the rest of my set up to this which is just default light mode.

I think where you do the homework, there should be a help button that has an AI that can help you with your answer, not give it, but like help you, and when you say the answer, it tells you what you did wrong or if you're right.

Down here in the southern hemisphere, our summer holidays are in January, and we have different semester system to residents of North America and Europe. Could you possibly include a feature to help with this, as well as getting our ‘semester wrapped‘ at a more relevant time? Or, if there is already a way to change the settings, could you let us know? Kind regards, AnonymousAcademicGuy. p.s. i love bettercampus, its so good
