I would love to see Canvas develop the ability to send a document to a student for electronic signature that could also be signed by faculty and housed within the LMS without the need for additional programs and file locations.
I'm not sure if this is something we would look at re-creating or not, which is why I marked it as a potential 'partnership' idea. There are other systems out there that have mastered this, so it might be great opportunity to build upon the platform by partnering!
Create a way teachers and administrators can have parents and students "sign" something in Canvas. Examples may include:
student handbook signature page
media/photography waiver form
safety contract for Tech Ed class
teacher's classroom rules/syllabus
With COVID, we are trying to reduce the amount of paper that is being passed around this fall. Thanks for helping to make things more efficient and SAFE!
I type my name thousands of times each week sending Canvas messages. I sure would love it if I could have an auto-sign feature where I put my closing and signature and it is automatically appended to any Canvas message I send. Please save my fingers!
I would love to be able to have my students electronically sign a behavior contract. I also like the idea of having a signature for teachers sending Canvas Inbox messages.
Would be an invaluable tool for students to electronically sign conduct of conduct agreements and other standards agreements, forms etc . Would also be handy to have for placements to verify work completed
As users (in this case, students) need to authenticate against canvas (or any other 3rd party authentication provider), I'd just like to make the point that anything asked within Canvas is directed to a specific user. This could be interpreted as more secure than a signature.
It's also important to understand that Canvas is a Learning Management System and not a document repository. Thank you @gail_bliss for your LTI suggestion.
However, @dhill1 suggestion of a "message signature" as part of inbox could be very handy.
