Just came here to voice support for the signature line being an added feature of Canvas. I use Canvas almost exclusively for messaging students, as opposed to email, because it can tell me which classes/sections they are in right away. But they do not have my information -- which affiliations do I have? What degrees do I have? What is my alternative contact information?
@rogrant@pricejl This is a feature that we desperately need here in CCPS. Many families have multiple students, most of whom who have multiple teachers, all of whom utilize Canvas. PLEASE give additional consideration into making an electronic signature a feature within Canvas Communications/Inbox. With all students within CCPS utilizing Canvas to support distant learning, this feature would make a world of difference for parents!
Inbox should mirror a generic email inbox for ease of use. Having the option of an electronic signature for Inbox messages and Discussion boards would extend the Inbox feature's usefulness to teachers.
I rarely use Canvas messaging. I make Outlook contact lists of my students, and use regular e-mail. I have to be careful to update the lists when students add or drop the class, of course.
