Hello!I work in Continuing Education and we are currently researching the use of digital badges in our upcoming online programs. Our university has decided not to move forward with Canvas Credentials ...

I teach two sections with 250 students each. I would like to offer them extra credit on their tests, as the main credit questions are quite tough and I expect the median grade to be below a C. It seem...

Unfortunately no, there is not a way for Canvas to take a word doc and transform it into a quiz automatically, as the system wouldn't be able to recognize the different types of questions, how many po...

Thank you look forward to testing it out!

Hi there @DrKaseyDurbin! Automatically, no, there is not, but you can do it manually. Assuming that you are using Classic Quizzes: Where you add your questions, choose the Find Questions option toward...

Hi @abelardolg, Because the access token is an active session for your (presumably highly privileged) account, Canvas treats the token like a password. This means that it won't send it back to you in ...

Oh interesting... we have very different looking screens for User Details, as my institution has a different Canvas feature enabled. So it sounds like my instructions aren't going to line up with your...

My quizzes do not show up in the student CANVAS app under the 'todo' list.  Why is that?  I am the instructor and none of my students can see them in the app.

This issue has been marked as solved, but I don't see where Canvas offered a solution to these formatting issues. Has this been solved? Thanks!

I am also seeing this issue and when I grade student essays for formatting, it is a real problem. The idea that students need to download a PDF before they submit, as someone else suggested, is not a ...

The title is missing information. It should read Provide Active Users filter for number of enrollments in Canvas Course Activity Report The Course Report LTI can probably use this as well.
