While a lot of great ideas have been shared about best kept secrets for faculty, what are your best tips and tricks to give to STUDENTS? I write a newsletter to students at the start of every term with something helpful they might be able to use that they may have overlooked. Things like the What-If tool, marking courses as favorites, etc. What are some other tips you have (read: I'm out of ideas for my newsletter).
For #11, if they are using the Respondus LockDown Browser to take a quiz, they should not be able to Copy-n-Paste their answers. It locks them into one browser screen, until they complete the test. However, if you could take a picture of your answer, that would work in this instance.
One of the recurring problems I see for brand new users (both students & faculty) is when one or more courses do not appear in their Dashboard... and they don't know about "favoriting" the courses they want to appear there. I review our Service Cloud tickets and I am pretty sure this fall there will be a bunch of users frantically contacting the Help Desk because their courses "aren't in Canvas."
The other recurring problem, but for faculty, is understanding about Published & Unpublished items. Especially when published items are included in an unpublished module or page. *Someone could probably use Storyline to create a simple training routine where you have to publish/unpublish items/modules to have them appear or disappear as desired.
Do you use Delicious ? You can tie it to your Canvas Profile and you do not have to remember which browser?
