Canvas Observer/Parent

MaggieMartinez · 2024-09-19

I received a pairing code from my student's teacher but when I signed up, I think she paired me with her account and made me a student instead of an observer for my student. I deleted her courses (I think) and now I don't have the option to use my st...

Hello, I think it would be helpful for there to be a "Mark As Read" button on the Canvas Notifications email when there is a discussion post. I usually read all of the posts there and then later see in Canvas that I have multiple unread posts only to...

Is there a way to mark "all entries" as "Read" in threaded discussions? For graded discussions, I use the "Speed Grader" interface (with a rubric). After I grade all the entries, I need to go back to the Discussions and "read" the entries so Canvas m...

When I enter comments in the "Assignment Comments" section of a quiz through the speedgrader, line breaks in the comment disappear after I submit the comment and the comment appears as a wall of text. (See the attached images.) I tried viewing the co...

I am looking for a way for tutors to give feedback to students without being able to access grades. Currently, if they want to use SpeedGrader to give feedback to help a student with their work, they also have access to grades as these permissions ar...

Hello, We have recently begun using the Observer role in some courses to link student mentors and tutors with students in need. However, we're running into an unforeseen issue. Some observers are also students in the same class. When they look at t...

Why can't i download reading resources from my students courses? When I try and enter my email and password for canvas it says my password is incorrect. Does the observer login not allow for down loading?

Fergus-Wood · 2024-09-02

I frequently disappointed at having to use the Gradebook through a "letterbox" view on a large monitor. Many of the list-based screens in Canvas are restricted to a pixel height, which results in a table of only 10 rows (with a scrollbar), when the ...

My two kids are in the same grade, same school. I set myself up as an observer for both of their accounts. When i log into canvas and view their pages, the UI is almost completely different. On the left panel, Student A has Home, Subjects, Calendar,...

I accidentally created a student account instead of a parent account. Now, when I try to create a parent account with my email address, Canvas won't let me do so because it says the email address is already in use. How do I resolve this error?

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