Problem statement: If a teacher wants to test out an assignment submission, they should do this in 'Student View' am I correct? But currently, it seems the item must be published first (ie: visible and available to students!). Proposed solution: If ...

Thanks for pointing me to Ideas and Themes  , I will re-post there.  I got here because I saw "Ask the Community" button in top right.

I am not yet to the point of setting up a course, but it is reassuring to know I can access these videos as needed.

I appreciated having my attention drawn to this.  I did a little bit of testing and my observations are: - It is true that when you bring up a student's page in SpeedGrader, it is their first post, which can be a reply to another student rather than ...

Hello @STEAMClown, What do you think about having the Google Slides embedded within a page in Canvas? That allows you to put content above or below the slides, such as links to assignments and/or quizzes. As you migrate this material to a new course ...

Hello @tslee, I think your idea for an Assignment Preview mode (and maybe a Discussions Preview mode?) would be great additions to Canvas. Have you checked out the Ideas and Themes area of the community? It allows you to share these ideas in a space ...

Hi @carloscruzqi  If you are giving a different due/availability date to a specific student, cannot remove the initial dates that were assigned to "Everyone".  You must do this by clicking "+Assign" and entering the student's name and their dates.  T...

Unfortunately not.  There was something about the way the courses were set up that required our admin and Canvas to work together to figure it out.  On my end it just magically started working again.  

Hello!I work in accessibility of online courses.  I recommend instructors write alternative text to be as extensive as needed to relay the essential detail or data of an image or graphic to students. While Canvas has an excellent platform that allows...

Hello @MattMiddleton, Can you describe what you mean by reformatting pages? There is currently not tons that can be done to pages en masse via the user interface, but I would like to look into this further for you.   Regards, James

@sblanc It is my understanding that Google and Instructure are still working through this to ensure the transition will be smooth for folks. At this time there is not a new deprecation date.

Problem statement: Currently in the Discussion/Announcements Redesign, the 'Full' Anonymous Discussion Option means "student names and profile pictures are hidden from other course members, including teachers." We recommend that teachers avoid using ...

Our school will be extremely relieved about this news. What is the new estimated date of deprecation? Thank you!

Problem statement: The horizontal gradebook scrollbar gets in the way of the grade book cells to the last student in the roster (regardless of browser, etc.). The student view/test student gradebook row is almost a workaround; instructors need to kn...

@BritLewis Ah that may sense. I agree it is lacking there. Sounds like it coming soon. 

This is definitely a step back from classic discussions where all posts by a particular student displayed in Speedgrader with the option link to go to the entire discussion.  I would love for this functionality to be retained in Discussions ReDesign.

Yeah, I do appreciate the prompt being there--that is convenient, though the experience of auto-scrolling all the way down is very disorienting, and the loss of the blue highlight makes scrolling back up to view my prompt again if I need to reference...

Yes, I got this too!Update to the new stable release and reinitialise the db, should work!

Is there any way to reformat multiple pages in a Canvas Course or does that need to be done individually? 

Problem statement: When a student is out multiple days, it can mean changing several assignment due dates to compensate for the time away. The ability to go through individual assignments and change deadlines is convenient for changing whole group de...

Hi @BethMullins - If you are unable to provide an update regarding this idea by April 23, we will need to archive it to help the Community Team focus on current Ideas. If you need more time, that's okay too! Providing an update before that time would...

To add to this, I'd also love to see a way to hide the reported post from the rest of the class, when reported. Use case - what happens if the post being reported is offensive? Does canvas have a way to prevent a reported post visibility to other stu...

Thanks Kristin. I took a look and just upvoted an existing request there.

Hi @JoyChikomo - Someone should be in contact with you soon. Thank you for your patience!
