My school has been able to institute school-wide calendars by creating a course and adding all faculty to it as teachers.  No one uses the actual course for anything other than the calendar and everyone can turn it on/off in their calendar controls.  We currently use this for an "Assessment Calendar" where teachers add their major assessments and all teachers can see when they are scheduled.  This is to make sure students are not overloaded on specific days. I could see this approach working for many of the situations people have asked about in this thread.  For any group (account, sub-account, etc) that needs a calendar, you would just need to create a course and add all those who need to be able to see the calendar as students and those who need to edit it as teachers.  No one uses the course structure, but now it is listed as a calendar for all those added and viewing it can be turned on and off as needed. We are also in the process of setting up a "Faculty Info Center" course in which will have all faculty added as students and the admin as teachers so that info can be distributed easily.  Along with the course we are exploring ways to use the API to push our main school calendar (which is external to Canvas) events to the calendar (using google scripts) so teachers have 1 calendar system to work in. ...

Hi everyone.  I've run in to this issue as well.  When I run the report, I get a file with over 130,000 rows and we should be getting around 2,400.  Mostly duplicate entries and alot of lines with student info and no grade data.  I've mediated the issue by using the "remove duplicates" in excel and then have set up some Google spreadsheets to deal with the remaining extra rows and filter the data from there so that our school can create our own custom grade reports. I submitted a bug report about 2 weeks ago, with a sample report, but have not heard anything since my initial submission. Hopefully, this issue is fixed soon. Thanks! ... View more

Hi Renee, Does  next phase involve adding  grading period data to the admin grade report?  My school really needs a way to see this info at an admin level (all students) so that administrators and guidance counselors can find students who are struggling without manually going through each course individually.  I know this request is technically still being voted on, but is this functionality anywhere near potential development? ...
