Slate for Canvas: Every Deadline, One Honest Timeline
A Chrome extension that combines Canvas assignments and syllabus-only deadlines, plans available study time, and calculates course grades.
Field notes
Slate combines Canvas items with deadlines it says can be extracted from syllabi, course home pages, and Modules links. Its sample evening plan includes 2 hours and 10 minutes across three tasks, including a syllabus-only response-paper deadline, and the page says each parsed date retains its source sentence. Grade projections are presented with the underlying arithmetic rather than only a result. The extension is free to install, while semester syncing is described as a $7 monthly service.
