We need a shortcut to open Canvas Equation Builder. When building a lot of content, it takes 3 clicks and moving your hand away from the keyboard just to open the builder. When the builder opens, the cursor is not automatically placed inside the w...

Hello, I am an administrator and an instructor. I would like to know if a question created in an Item Bank in New Quizzes can be modified to a different type of question? For example, the question was created as an Essay type question, and I would l...

I would like to export completed rubric scores (numeric and comments) from Canvas to a spreadsheet from all courses that use this rubric so I can compare them. Does anyone have a tool that we could use for this?

I am an instructional designer providing support to faculty, and we are running into an issue with the "Assign to" feature in Assignments and Modules. When faculty assign an assignment to a specific section or group of students and then add this same...

FeliciaChen · 2024-07-31

Hello, in Canvas' Assignments section, is there any way I can quickly sort the assignments in the numerical order? Thank you.

Is there a way to add a course title in the subject line of the notification email when a person is registered into a course for the first time? Right now it looks like the subject line is the same for all courses. It would be helpful if the subjec...

MariahBirgen · 2024-07-30

I want to create a single About Your Instructor (for example) page in Canvas that I can have linked to in all my courses. This way I only update the page in one place and it is updated everywhere. What I am doing now is creating the page in one cours...

ElizabethGarza1 · 2024-07-26

Why did the assignment and quiz due dates change locations? Extra clicks? "Manage Assign?" It doesn't make very much sense.

KatieBiehl · 2024-07-26

I am trying to build an ungraded survey to score complete/incomplete. I was unable to use Classic Quizzes because I was not able to see the results in Speed Grader. I would like to use Microsoft Forms to embed a form in an assignment and have the res...

I am importing quizzes via qti files created using a quiz template for excel spreadsheets. They are saved as csv and converted to qti using the Kansas State Classic to QTI 2.0 converter recommended by Instructure. Works great, import is smooth except...

jfountain · 2024-07-25

Since it's very typical for course/instructional designers to develop course content in Canvas, how do you get around your name/profile showing on the discussion prompt? This is assuming the instructor doesn't want students to know that a support pe...

I copied a couple of assignments and discussions from other courses (they had similar format to this course). They had due dates from 2022, which I then removed. I then copied the format for the entirety of the course. Canvas is still showing that ...

MadisonSouza · 2024-07-24

Hello, I have created a quiz at the end of my Articulate Rise360 course and uploaded the SCORM file to Canvas as a graded assignment. I can see that a percent score is recorded in the gradebook, but is there any way to see data for the individual que...

bturney · 2024-07-22

Hello fellow Canvas-ers, I'm an Account Admin at our institution and for some reason, I can no longer change and save Course Settings. I often update terms or file storage size in current and old courses, but if I change them now, I can't save the ch...

Hi. I'm an instructional designer trying to help one of our faculty members that is getting frustrated with students uploading documents into Discussions instead of pasting their written work into the body of the reply. Canvas provides a setting to d...

JoshAllenCC · 2024-07-22

Some of our faculty are going the route of dropping the two lowest grades. They have some assignments that they want excluded from being dropped. We were chatting about whether to do that by putting all "rule-qualifying" assignments in one group that...

My usual community forum presence is in the Canvas Developers group. I'm also planning on asking our CSM about this, but I'm curious to know from the general community why a simple audio playback interface is not available when inserting media that i...

A nursing program needs to have 77% assigned into different exams to pass, and somehow discussion and assignment are only taken into consideration if students pass, is there a way to do it directly in Canvas gradebook and avoid having to export the g...

Seeking help. The issue seems to be that the Canvas Syllabus page has something going on where it does not display a full webpage built within it. I also am not smart enough to figure out how to have my page display at say 95%, so that fully displays...

nsweeten · 2024-07-16

Please make text headers visible in Modules during "Next" button navigation. If you believed they were visible, they aren't. If you are a designer and you feel information is important enough to put in a text header, you probably believe your users c...

I have uploaded hundreds of SCORM files (Articulate Rise lessons) to my Canvas account. The load time and lag on this page is immense. I am hoping to be able to clear the cache of uploaded lessons, as some are out of date/duplicates. Is there a way t...
