I am an instructor of many Canvas courses. After many semesters of using Canvas, I have many, many videos in My Media. I would like to arrange them into a folder structure. (Unfortunately, the "tags" in My Media do not solve this problem, because I c...

is there a way to post a comment to a submission that is visible to the instructor and graders but not visible to the student?

Hi, I am working on an external app that uses the canvas API and also involves LTI. So there needs to be some sort of secure exchange with user/client of them giving us a canvas api key (and canvas instance url), and us giving them an LTI key & secre...

Is it possible to view how much time a student spends completing a task or viewing a page? This data would help instructors fine-tune the instructional hours per module or week in noncredit and CBE courses. 

Is it possible to set instructor notifications so we know when a student has been added to or dropped from the active roster through the SIS?

I'm trying to find the documentation on students viewing instructor feedback. I've located a couple of pointer in questions and in the student guide (see below) but they're all returning to the home page. https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Student-Gu...

The dashboard of canvas stopped loading in Safari (webbrowser) on my ipad air (ios 12). I also tried with Google Chrome on the Ipad, but had the same problem. Please make canvas compatible with the older apple products.

I am aware of how to add a previously used rubric to a new assignment. But when I do so, it does not allow me to use the rubric for grading. For example, my students have a weekly reflection assignment. The rubric for the reflection remains the same,...

I cannot open my canvas. The interface kept flashing. What should I do?

The blue "take the quiz" button does not appear below my quizzes?

Wondering if anyone has encountered this?  A teacher edited a Due Date to an assignment on the Teacher App.  He had a very long, formatted Assignment description that had been composed on the web client.  He says that after changing the date and savi...

Hello, I have a free instructor account. I want to make it so that as students complete my course, a certificate of completion is automatically generated and sent to them. So that I do not have to manually do it for each student, and also so that the...

I've just added my theme to my canvas account, but the theme isn't applying to quizzes. For example links should be dark red (they are for all other pages, discussions and assignments), but in my quizzes they are purplish-blue. The submit button is a...

I have two canvas accounts and neither have been working for two days now. I can login and it brings me to the main page but it is just a white screen. When I click on Courses or Calendar, etc.  nothing will show up. I can't see my classes or do my w...

I'm posting some video quizzes for my students and planning on turning on the "no seeking forward" option. If a student goes back to watch the video a second time at a later date, will Canvas remember that they have watched it already and allow them ...

I'm building a quiz from scratch. In the past I used question banks. I am trying to create some multiple choice questions, but I can't see how I "tell" Canvas which choice is the correct answer.  Before, once I had a quiz done with questions from a b...

Students are asking which Section they are in, but nowhere on my homepage is that information found. We do not use the People tab and prefer to use the Participants Profile tab by Peerconnect. Thus I wanted to know if a student's section could be a t...

I was not at work to what is the testing date for the students

Any updates on whether we will be able to align outcomes to questions within an item bank?  I've seen previous posts regarding this inquiry, but nothing recently.  Thanks!

I'm wondering if a district admin can see district-wide student completion results in a blueprint course? Or results by school? There will be around 125 courses, and we simply need to track student completion (by unit if possible). So, for example x ...

Our LMS can integrate with REST APIs from the big LMSs, but Canvas is currently giving us grief.  We go through the steps that worked when we were developing the Canvas library for our system, but, now, we do not get the option to authorize the app. ...
