Ah...I had a feeling, but couldn't hurt to ask. Thanks for confirming @matthew_buckett.

@CartonKam @matthew_buckett Does this method allow you to circumvent uploading a CSS file to the Theme Editor if using in a single course?

cgaudreau · ‎04-17-2023

Yep, @matthew_buckett - that seems to have done the trick. Thank you! Now, to make sure it doesn't bork our course evaluation CSS. Wondering how two "@import" tags will work together. Going to continue testing in beta. But, the first signs are promising. Next step is to alter the color...but this was a huge leap. Appreciate it!

Thank you for the nudge @carlycurran. Done and done! https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Canvas-Ideas/User-Agents-for-New-Analytics/idi-p/563501

Problem statement: New Analytics has a lot of helpful views on to support the day-to-day of Canvas Admins and instructional designers. As we continue to build, we have a lot of anecdotal evidence supporting what devices are students are using. This comes through in support tickets, or seeing students do course work in the library or cafeteria. However, we have a growing number of online courses and see less students on campus. Having some proactive data that would drive specific decision making as to design considerations for a growing support team would certainly help put weight behind conversations. Proposed solution: Might there be a field for User Agents in the near future? As a growing instructional design team, and working within our university Bring Your Own Device policy, it would be helpful for us to get a hard-coded look at what devices students are using often. Building for consistent access using the HTML allowlist will support our endeavors. (Unless we can get the new design language up and running at some point...) Thanks for considering.

Hi, everyone. There are a few posts referencing Bootstrap/CSS that go back a few years, so trying to bubble this back up to the surface. I'm reviewing CSS as a way to increase instructional design workflows, as well as make code more equitable and useful for our team. Currently, I'm running into an issue with iconography from Bootstrap not being recognized in my styles.css file uploading to the beta theme editor. Wondering if anyone else out there is interested in working together to solve some issues that can be beneficial to the larger group? I'm not terribly worried about the placement of it yet, just the functionality of seeing it in action. (Eventually, I'd like to see the icon to the left of the text. Such as; [icon] Student Learning Objectives or [icon] Learning Materials.) Thanks, in advance! I'm dropping my code - with a generic icon selected - below as to where things are at: #StudentLearningObjectives { color:black; background-color: #d6d6d6 ; } @import url("https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/bootstrap-icons@1.10.4/font/bootstrap-icons.css"); .bi::before { display: inline-block; content: ""; vertical-align: -.125em; background-image: url("data&colon;image/svg+xml,<svg viewBox='0 0 16 16' fill='%23333' xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'><path fill-rule='evenodd' d='M8 9.5a1.5 1.5 0 1 0 0-3 1.5 1.5 0 0 0 0 3z' clip-rule='evenodd'/></svg>"); background-repeat: no-repeat; background-size: 1rem 1rem; }

@robert_mandell, @vanzandt, @rebecca_william - Thank you all for this. We are about to undertake a massive restructure and this thread is exactly what I need to point me in the right direction. However, I was wondering if any of you had screenshots or dummy .csv files that you used and could share out with me? I get the concept, but implementation is tricky. Thank you in advance!

@jim_the_steam_c I did a quick test, and it shows as working. However, I did export it as a printer friendly page and attached to this message. Since I last visited this thread, we've made some drastic improvements to the equity of the design. This includes: Using the Icon Maker to create a common set of icons for use throughout each course. (The icons come from the Noun Project, which we pay a yearly fee of $39 to use citation-free.) Headers and banners, using WCAG compliant contrasts, to denote Weekly Overviews, Student Learning Objectives, Learning Materials, Discussions, and Assignments. These headers are then replicated on subsequent pages as needed. I'd be happy to connect and share resources or approaches to the layout. We started using this layout after coming across a post here on the Community showing a similar layout, and have been adapting it over time.

cgaudreau · ‎06-24-2022

@c-mc I wonder if there are some specifics to your institution that are jamming things up along the way. You might want to connect with a registrar, IT, Canvas Admin, etc. group to see what is considered the "login ID" based on the established protocols of the group. Sorry I don't have more concrete details to share: at my institution, we have a fairly in-depth pipeline from SIS to Canvas, including registrar, ITS, Instructional Design and Canvas Admin, with a through-line to HR. My experience might be limited to a specific scope here.

cgaudreau · ‎06-24-2022

@c-mc The login ID ought to be the email address that is associated with their Canvas login minus the "at" suffix. For example, instead of "student@institution.edu " it would be just "student" - hope that sorts things out for you.

One aspect of having even two tabs open during a course redesign is that I often have to scroll way back up to the top of the modules page to make sure I'm doing work in the right course. It's a small issue, but over time does take start to crash into my workflow - and I'm imagining I'm not alone here. Throwing this idea out there, but would it be possible to make the course header at the top of the module page persistent and sticky, so that when scrolling down the title of the course stays at the top of the navigation. As an example, this is a screenshot of an internal Instructional Design Resources page that our team shares. As-is, the course title "Instructional Design Resources" is at the top, next to the hamburger menu. If a module is then opened, in this case HTML Testing Module, then the course title disappears. We are in the midst of redesigning 200+ courses under a Title Three grant, and often have to toggle between the most-recent live version of a course and the sandbox. From a certain perspective, even though the live course content was imported into the sandbox, there are always those little things that come up when cleaning out course content and files that we need to double back on. Thanks for considering! Chris

One of the barriers to our full-scale adoption of New Analytics is the exporting of data via API. Leadership is very excited about the Attendance Report, but without the API connection, it isn't making any movement on campus. I've looked for updates related to this feature roll out, but couldn't locate any. Are there any insights I'm missing elsewhere?

cgaudreau · ‎10-29-2021

Hi. Likely missed this in a Release or Deploy note, but am I the only one not seeing the option for Quote in the Rich Content Editor anymore? Not a huge deal, since we can add <blockquote> through HTML, but it was a huge timesaver.

cgaudreau · ‎09-20-2021

@matthew_west Got the same response via ticket escalation. I'm wondering if there is something about our onboarding process and Single Sign On requirements that are jamming up the works for some users. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

cgaudreau · ‎09-17-2021

@cdunn4 we don't use Powerschool, but I'm getting the sense that this ought to be escalated at this point. I'm going to push a request via the Admin Console.

cgaudreau · ‎09-16-2021

Thanks, @matthew_west. The weird thing is that it happens with registered and active users - students, faculty and staff that are added via SIS - as well as new users. Appreciate the insight - this is helpful for new users, though I'll see if anyone else chimes in before we escalate to Tier One support.

cgaudreau · ‎09-16-2021

We are noticing a behavior that, when adding enrollments to a course that is not synced with our Student Information System (say, a faculty development or cohort-specific internship class), we are unable to use the participant email address. Only the Login ID and SIS options are working, and not all the time. Wondering if anyone else is running into similar roadblocks - I didn't see this request in other posts, nor via release notes (unless I missed something).

cgaudreau · ‎08-26-2021

React/InstUI roll out has, in my opinion, not been optimal. My local user group even reached out to see if Canvas can provide (paid) working sessions to get us up to speed, and nothing. If they are so intent on making these changes, a little support would go a long way.

cgaudreau · ‎07-21-2021

@Katrina-Hess - Regarding React/InstUI: There are so many great design elements within Instructure UI , but creating an LTI from scratch is nigh impossible within the time constraints and the high learning curve for my team. Do you anticipate the React/InstUI elements being added directly into the Rich Content Editor and an updated style guide being available, or are we still straddling that middle ground for the time being? (Sorry to post here, but questions in other forums and through my now ex-Customer Success Manager hit brick walls along the way.)
