Couldn't happen soon enough

Thank You @chriscas. I've placed the code in the main script of the main theme but it isn't showing up. I can't remember based on policies if we can leave an email address here, but mine is dspiel@columbiabasin.edu if I could ask a few quick questions.

Sad three years later and no movement.

Mind-blowing of something so simple and desired for over 7 years isn't even being considered.

Allowing access to an institution-created javascript would be helpful on pages and also the syllabus as we have been looking into automatically loading institutional information to all syllabus and would be controlled at the Canvas admin level. That way every page is updated automatically. If this was a feature then having to go out and spend $15k for a much more complicated system where teachers would have to be trained on how to use this it.

This seems like a no-brainer and truthfully shouldn't be that difficult to implement by just having a means of setting a date on a page when it becomes active as the "Use as front page" to rotate them whenever needed through the quarter/semester. Possibly even having an option of a Set Page dates under the dots similar to how you can do with assignments as well.

Problem statement: Media recordings within Canvas don't allow for auto-captioning and are difficult to accomplish at best. I understand purchasing Canvas Studio can resolve some of the issues, but the biggest problem is as an institution we are wanting instructors to give video feedback within the speedgrader. Also required by law to be ADA compliant and auto-captioning a norm for online video creation now these recordings should have the ability to be auto-captioned. Proposed solution: It is required by law for colleges to be ADA compliant and when instructors and/or students use the included media recorder in either an assignment or speedgrader there should be the ability for them to be auto captioned natively without any additional steps and include a CC button on the video if someone needs to use it.

Problem statement: Ability to restore all prior students once a course has been un-concluded instead of one by one Proposed solution: Having the ability to restore all students at one time from a course that has been un-concluded would save time from having to do all 50 one by one. User role(s): admin

Even if it was only 2-5 previously saved would be helpful. Doesn't have to be all.

dspiel · ‎09-01-2022

Seems like a no-brainer especially since JavaScript is disabled on pages.

Problem statement: Having a duplicate button/option on Global announcements would help speed up publishing announcements instead of copying and pasting content. Proposed solution: Add a button to the pencil (edit) and trash can (delete) that would allow for duplication an announcement and then just edit dates. User role(s): admin

I'm surprised that this hasn't been implemented yet.

In the case of your institution, it would be nice to have the ability within a module to pull the Syllabus content page from the navigation bar into a module as well. I think that is a little bit of what was talked about. Doesn't need to have the assignments or anything at the bottom. That way instructors on many occasions aren't creating a duplicate document called syllabus in pages to place in a module. Not to hijack the intent of the post, but would also be nice to add a print button on the Syllabus page to make it easier for students to print or print to PDF as well.

dspiel · ‎06-07-2022

@ndw158 The Canvas admin at your college should be able to do that for you.

dspiel · ‎06-07-2022

This would be extremely helpful

All the ability to add code dynamically to the page by using js or some other method. The thought behind this is at the college level there is a huge chunk of information added to a syllabus. It would be nice to have the ability to dynamically add the institution content that if changed in the main institution file would show the updated information any time a student clicks on it. That way instructors or instructional designers don't have to update the content or worry that someone hasn't updated the content. 🔎 This idea has been archived. While this idea isn't open for comments, it is an important part of Instructure’s idea conversations and development process . Contributions like this are valuable as Instructure prioritizes work on new or existing features.

@j_vanbelle Completely agree.

dspiel · ‎05-25-2022

Can't happen soon enough.

dspiel · ‎05-25-2022

Would be nice if they saw the importance/value of fixing this so that a tool could be used and work.

Thank you for getting back to me quickly @KristinL, if I’m not mistaken, it is just that the new quizzes ha it listed in the main navigation as Item Banks.
