Student's Name

[john_williamson]

Before the interface changed (At the beginning of the school year) a student's name would appear at the top of the screen.  This was a nice easy way to identify a student if you were standing behind them in class.  Would it be possible to add their name under their profile picture?

Fingers are crossed that this won't be that hard of a fix and that it will get implemented!

While this wouldn't be difficult for us to add, at this time we are not going to implement this idea. Our number one concern is student privacy. We would need to add some additional settings and parameters for Canvas admin which complicates the work. We totally understand the need here but protecting the students privacy outweighs the benefit. As always, we so appreciate the dialogue and sample use cases.

The Radar idea stage has been removed from the Feature Idea Process.  You can read more about why in the blog post Adaptation: Feature Idea Process Changes.

This change will only impact the stage sort of this idea and will not change how it is voted on or how it is considered during prioritization activities.  This change will streamline the list of ideas 'open for voting', making it easier for you to see the true top voted ideas in one sort, here.

Thank you for sharing this idea with the Instructure Community!

The Product Team reviewed all feature proposals recently, and unfortunately, this thread was identified as one that they would not be able to include in their current or future plans. While we appreciate your proposal, we also want to be transparent about the likelihood of something like this making it to production.

Thank you for collaborating, and we hope that you submit another idea in the future!
