Bio:
I've been working in the digital education arena at the University of Michigan-Dearborn since 1999, when I was a sophomore student there. I helped create the courses for the university's first online degree program (Master of Education in Special Education) and have been involved in many related tasks since then. I am now the primary Canvas administrator for our campus, and oversee most other integrated tools as well. As of September 2023, I am a Canvas Certified Technical Admin.

Hi @Kellychris2, You may not realize this, but you have posted your question to the global community of Instructure product (like Canvas) users.  While we can offer a lot of advice and answer a lo...

Hi @schaeje, I haven't really tested API calls acting as an observer, as we really don't even use the observer role in higher-ed, but there is one thing that sticks out to me in your post....

Hi @KJan_, Honestly, I think a "no-take-backsies" policy around almost everything related to account outcomes would be a good idea.  As @dbrace mentioned, you could do some testing in ...

Hi @dbrace and @Sachelis, I agree that at the core this issue is because New Quizzes is technically an LTI instead of part of core Canvas.  The entire New Quiz screen is basically it's own...
