We currently use replacement strings to personalize email, announcements, news, even quizzes for students. These strings (i.e., {FirstName} ) will pull in the student's first name to show it in the welcome announcement, news, emails, even at the start of a quiz. This is a great tool and I am wonder how to do this in Canvas. This code doesn't appear to work as the code itself showed up in the announcements.
@kbarth , this sounds like what we used when we were on Angel and really liked this ability to personalize things. Unfortunately, this functionality does not exist in Canvas. I did a quick check and didn't see it as a Canvas Feature Ideas either, so my recommendation would be to create this as a new idea - How do I create a new feature idea?. I know I'd vote for it!

For anyone following this question, the following feature idea - - will be open from Wednesday, April 6 - Wednesday, July 6. Make sure and vote once it opens up!
