I have students who receive submission error or submission failure messages.  When they air drop the file to another device and log into their specific Canvas account they are able to submit successfully.  Both devices are on the same network, and th...

My dashboard reminder list says there's a quiz in one of my classes that needs to be graded. This makes no sense for 2 reasons: 1. It's already graded via Speedgrader, so I shouldn't have to open and grade it at all, and 2. When I open it, the grade ...

Can I mark a missing assignment as "Missing" (changing the color to pink/reddish and entering a grade of 0) for all students at once? If so, how? Can I mark all past-due assignments as "Missing" in a course at once? For my use, this is for the assign...

When I create an Assignment title that will be synced to Powerschool it will not allow me to create a title longer than 31 characters. I asked the tech in my district why that is and they said it was a canvas restriction because in our Powerschool we...

I created a Canvas quiz with both multiple choice and formula type questions.  When I generated an item analysis of the quiz, each of the multiple choice type questions give a break-down, but the formula type questions are labeled as "ungraded".  How...

As the title suggests, is there a way to add a new member to a canvas collaboration and have the email notification/invitation only to go the new member and not everyone in the collaboration list?   Thanks!

Hello I was wondering if anyone can help with this. In an odd case, you have students with the same name in a course. Setting up indiviual assignments for students with the same name can be tricky, would it be possible to set up assignments using stu...

I'm trying to attend tonight's Canvas Klatch but 15 minutes into it and still no host to open the event. This would be my first, so perhaps I'm going about it wrong. It's not very reassuring to find no one there. 

Is there a way to get an assignment I have marked as late in Canvas to be marked as late in Skyward when I use the grade sync?  Currently, if I mark and assignment late in Canvas, it is not being marked as late in Skyward.  

I created groups, and assigned a Google slide for each group to collaborate on.  I then went into each Group site and added the file in their Collaboration section; however, when students try to open the file, it's not letting them.  Maybe a Google D...

Hi all,   I had an instructor that made a quiz containing essay questions. She added comments to each question in the General Answer Comments text field. She then published the quiz and students completed it within the given window. After the window ...

Many but not all of our sub-accounts (and we have hundreds) have Student Competency data I need to report upon, once that data is updated. This presents numerous problems for which I seek help.  I do not know which sub-accounts have Student Competenc...

Iḿ using canvas on a Ipad due to Low vision.How can I magnify the canvas program? It stays the same and I can enlarge the text.

I downloaded a .csv Course Activity Report using these instructions, but I'd like more details on exactly what each column tells me. Does the "last viewed" column give the time when the student's last view started or ended? Is there a query where I c...

Hello.  My students are still turning in work from the last 9 weeks. I have given a 0 and marked too late to submit and it won't clear off my teacher app to do list. Is there a way to clear it off so that I am not seeing the same work?

Is it possible for a student to complete a peer review if they themselves have not submitted to the assignment? I think currently a student has to have submitted something before they can peer review another. We think this might be a useful option as...
