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...

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?

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.
