It would be of great benefit to be able to add, delete, and rename categories in the top-level menu at the lefthand side of all course Module screens.
It would also be helpful to be able to block features--the Canvas messaging system does not work properly with our campus e-mail system. I tell students not to use it, but it would be better to be able to block it entirely from a course and avoid wasting their time.
There should also be a way to disable options for assignment submissions--I want to make Canvas present my students with no other option than uploading a file in one of the listed formats. I go through year after year and "restrict file upload types," but it does not actually restrict anything.
Conversely, faculty should be able to force-e-mail announcements as we could in Blackboard; it should not be a decision left up to student-controlled settings.
