In one of my courses, when trying to calculate different What-If scores, all assignments always automatically calculate their scores as 100%. For example, when trying to calculate 50/100, the What-If calculation shows 100/100. This is not the case in...

DevorahLucas · 2025-03-28

If you pause while typing in the search box of Canvas Discussion Forums, it takes off anyways. This is extremely frustrating having to keep clicking back in and re-typing. Can it just wait until you press "Go??"

ehendon · 2025-03-28

My students can not access the quiz in the module or under the assignment section. The quiz is listed but it is grayed out but just lightly. I have checked all of my inputs and they seem to be right.

Kat24 · 2025-03-28

Has Canvas developed a way to pull a report of all in the markbook in a class section, for example, or the whole course, to see their turn-it-in percentages and the AI match?
