Hi,I would like to understand the distinctions between the roles of a Teaching Assistant (TA) and a Teacher.

As AP is moving into the digital age, my students are now forced to type timed essays.  The most viable options that would not allow them to use spellcheck or grammar check is either a Canvas text entry submission or a Canvas essay quiz.  However, th...

My two exams represent 20% of the final grade; each counts 10%. When calculating the grade, I notice some inconsistencies. For instance, if the grade of one exam is zero and the grade of a student before entering that grade is 66, it goes down four p...

For my courses, I have a syllabus module where I break down syllabus information into a series of pages (25 total: each page dedicated to a specific FAQ or set of policies) that make it easy for students to find the information they need, rather than...

I use Code.org to teach APCSP. Last week I saw this . Here is the link to the Guides. My question is this - Is Canvas supporting this "Early Access"?  This would be fantastic! 

Two ideas I think need to be in Media Gallery for the student portion.  Allowing a student to title said video's (of instructors) to mark subjects or certain points in said videos would be extremely useful.

Is anyone using Canvas for rank, tenure, promotion?   We have been using a commercial product which is a considerable financial outlay as well as a substantial cost in human capital.  We think Canvas could be a solution to the issue.  We could ideall...

My kids in my class are making their own group chats on my Canvas class.  how do I delete them and make it so kids can't make groups on it?

We have two accounts in our Canvas instance. The main account has numerous sub-accounts while other one has only one. I was thinking to move that one to the main account (including students, courses). How do I do that ? Is it possible ? I have seen a...

Like a PDF or Excel doc?

At my university, we utilize office 365 to create and upload files. For over two years I would create a file in office 365 first before turning them into canvas. Now for unknown reasons I cannot do this, every time I go into the office 365 tab to upl...

i have one rule in my assignment which is to drop the lowest grade.  I want to add another rule whereby students who turn in an optional project can drop 3 additional lowest grades.  Can this be done?

My home page brings me directly to Modules even though I have a "Page" set as "Home." Why???

Hello, New Quizzes is now available at our university for us to explore, and I have been playing around with it.  I love many of the new features, but one thing concerns me.  Perhaps I am just overthinking this, but I wanted to ask to make sure I am ...

When creating a fill-in-the-blank question in a new quiz, how do I change the default text match to "Exact Match".  Either in a course or even at a quiz level?  Some quizzes have 25+ blanks, and it would be nice to have them default to exact match in...

How do you accept a pending student into a course? We will not require students to create a canvas account. Would like either instructor or administrator to accept on behalf of student. 

I have followed the instructions for uploading a Google Doc / Slideshow to Canvas and I get a notice saying that it will change the share settings and everyone with the link will have access. It seems that "access" includes the ability to edit it. Ho...
