Somehow the sidebar with topics like modules, discussions, media, grades, ect. disappeared.  It makes it very difficult to navigate while in each class.  Does anyone know what happened and how to fix it.  I went through all the settings and did not s...

I have been teaching the same semester course for 2 years, 2 classes per year. I have always copied the previous semester's course with assignments at the start of the new semester. I had always unpublished all assignments and when I used the same as...

It's exponentially easier to grade using a csv in Google Sheets or Excel; however, Canvas' import feature doesn't support importing comments for the grades making it borderline useless for my purposes. I've seen other people have brought this up, has...

I can log into Canvas on my computer and access my classes, but cannot log in on my phone app. (I can log in on the website on my phone). From the app, it says "webpage unavailable" when I type and press on the school's name. If I press "forgot my pa...

How can I mass delete the email in box in Canvas? Trying to clean this out is very time consuming and I don't need any of these emails. Thanks, Lynda Elaine University of Nebraska LincolnInstructor and Grad Student.
