I'm having an issue where when I assign a group discussion to a specific set of groups, other groups (not assigned that are from a different group set) are also showing up on the discussion. How can I remove the "other" groups from this discussion w...
Hi Folks! We're looking to see if we can track down the timestamp of when a grade was entered into the grade book. I see we can see when comments are posted, but not when a grade is entered, or posted. Is there some way to pull this information?
When attempting to use the "Print Blank Quiz" function from the Build area in a New Quiz, the print dialog doesn't appear as it does with the "Print Key (With Answers" function. Instead, when I select the option to print a blank quiz, it redirects me...
Hello,I would think it would benefit students if teachers could add a module under a module, like you have a folder in a folder. Have you concidered to add that in at all? Even also give the option of making the main modules as a grid view instead of...
Hello,I would find it very valuable if I could edit the fonts on the modules. That is that I could change the size of them, make them bold or underlined so I could point out the most important thing on each of the module to make the overview easier f...
I am in a completely online program and our school just switched to canvas. I have found workarounds for some of the issues with the new platform but one of my main issues is that there doesn't seem to be a way to determine which content has already...
I have my course set up such that exams count for 60% of the grade. I have one midterm worth 25 points and one final worth 35 points. I want to be able to drop a student's midterm grade if they perform worse on the midterm than on the final. I though...
I'm trying to export the IMSCC files from Canvas to Blackboard, but they are coming up as HTML pages and all the graphics are lost. I read that you can try changing the file name from IMSCC to zip - does anyone know if that actually works? I don't ha...
I'm wanting to add a second login for a user (will eventually need to do it for all users, but for now testing)... so I create a logins.csv file that has just these two rows: user_id,login_id,password,existing_integration_id"19402610",user@gmail.com,...
Is there a way for students to have a notification within a module that they have already looked at a page? My student was mentioning that since there are several ways to get to the same page, they are not always aware if they are looking at a new do...
We are loving the new Admin Analytics. We needed some enrollment statistics for a few courses and were looking at the Enrolled Students Over Time chart in detail. Yesterday, that Enrolled Students Over Time chart completely disappeared from our Ove...
I am on my final assignment for iTeach. I have never used Canvas before. How do I allow the iTeach folks to access my assignment? If I provide them the URL does this automatically allow them access to my file?Thanks for any help!!
I see a lot of others asking this same question, so I know it is a common problem. How can we get Canvas to allow us to close the comments feature? These are the main problems that I have: 1. I have strict no-late work policies (I drop the lowest ...
I am an Instructor trying to limit students seeing the names of other students in my particular course. The course I'm creating requires a high-level of privacy, and I would like to ensure that students cannot see who else is in the class. I've alre...
When trying to attach a file to the text box, an error pops up on my screen and says “file exceeds quota”. I sent a problem ticket to canvas and they replied back to me with “Media embedded to discussions using Canvas's new Rich Content Editor (RCE) ...
The hours spent on Restorative Justice, Implicit Bias, and on and one and on, and then when I go to learn more about a tool that would ostensibly help improve and enable my ACTUAL teaching, I get this - RIDICULOUS. I'm expected to read a tech manual,...
I am trying to take a math quiz for Pre-Cal: Trig and all of the equations in the problems are just blank spaces. I can't do the problems because I don't know what it is asking me. I have some screenshots so you know what I mean. I don't know what to...
I am signed up to take a class for work titled: "2023 Embracing Literacy" conference and supposedly I should be able to print out the presenters handouts through Canvas. But when I get in there, I can only find the introduction course to Canvas.
I’m a student. If I resubmit my assignment after the due date, will it be marked late (because it’s now late), or on time (because the first submission was on time)?
I have tried for several days and need help accessing Labyrinthelab to take quizzes or tests or upload my assignment. I contacted IT support and my instructor and am still awaiting answers. This is making me miss appointments and get incorrect grades...
As a "Teacher" on canvas, how am I able to add the "student" or "designer" role if it is not already available in the drop down menu. Attached below is a picture. The option either comes up blank, or with other roles I do not want to add.
I accidentally used the default "100%" for the missing submission policy, when I had intended to give 0%. Now I can't figure out how to undo/change to 0%, as the new missing submission policy won't overwrite already graded missing assignments (and t...

Technically, we know how to do thi...
