I am an observer. In previous years my student could reply to messages I sent to their Inbox. As of this school year, they can read my messages but the reply button is greyed out. Was this an intentional change?

I am a parent and also teach using Canvas. The parent app holds very little value, and the only thing I can really do on it is check my children's grades. But even then, they are mixed together, not filtered by individual student. It's impossible to ...

Good morning,I am new to canvas, if my child completes an assignment how an I able to see which problems she got incorrect? So that I can review this with my child. Also why does it have a lock on some classes and others do not have that. Is it corre...

Hi All! I'm trying to get the Parent App to work. I've paired the observer and the student. But the Parent App is showing that the learner has not submitted ANY work, when the learner has submitted a lot of work. Logging on from the browser shows the...

I want the parent app installed at my college, but IT say it is not secure and that a paired parent can view any students details on the course. Surely this is not true?See their email response below"The parent app was deployed and ready to use for a...

Is there a way for a Canvas Observer to view a list of missing assignments in currently enrolled courses?

Hi there, so I've paired with both of my kids. I've confirmed this under Accounts/Observing. It shows both of them under "Students Being Observed". But when I go to the home page, I only see classes for one of the kids. This is on a desktop, via a we...

As a parent, I'd like to get an export of all assignments in CSV or Excel format. Is there an easy to do this today?

As a parent, I want to have ONE place to go where I can easily see a list of all assignments, from all classes, that have not yet been turned in. Ideally this would be ordered by due date (past due at the top). Is there an easy way to see this today?

We recently disabled the permission to “add/remove student users” within a course for those that hold a Teacher role within Canvas. Although we have our Canvas enrollments sync with our SIS, some faculty would still take it upon themselves to add/inv...

Would you say it's working well for you? It's our first year using it so just curious what others think about it?  Thanks  

We have been trying to solve my daughter's Canvas issues for over a year. For every assignment, she submits the assignment per the standard submission process. For every assignment, she will get the submission receipt which shows "Submitted!" with a ...

I've seen a few questions about the connection between PowerSchool Parent Access and Canvas Observer accounts. While a sync would be nice, we're happy to encourage parents to access them separately for now.I ran a report of observer accounts (basical...

Unfortunately, we have a student who says they submitted work which we find out subsequently was not submitted. I am trying to help the student understand that when submitted, it shows the date and time for submission. However, the student indicates ...

It would be a really neat feature to allow Learning Coaches (i.e. parents/parent/guardians/mentors/etc.) to have an ability to respond quickly, directly, and efficiently while in a Parent Canvas observer account (not mobile app). The ability to reply...

After several weeks of working with my junior, I'm still frustrated with the inconsistent user interface between my student's view, my parent/observer view and and Android app interface. Each version provides slightly different bits of information th...

I added my parent account with my sons' special code he gave me.  I poked around a little, then logged off.  In trying to log back in, I was unsuccessful.  Not sure what is going on with that.
