 @Jeff_F ‌ - This is true about published vs unpublished, but faculty use the available, due, and until dates to control when the assignments are released to students, not whether or not they are published. They shouldn't be asked to discontinue using such a valuable feature like available, due, and until dates (especially since the new grade book will now apply late penalties and grades based on those settings) in lieu of publishing and publishing assignments just to work around this issue on the syllabus tool that could easily be fixed. This would be very time consuming for them to do this for each assignment in every course they teach. Their time is better spent on teaching the content rather than managing publishing and publishing their assignments in order to manage the workaround for the syllabus tool. The assignments links should have the option to either be hidden on that page or made inactive links. It should be possible to use the assignments and their due dates to build a true course outline/schedule to appear at the bottom of the syllabus page that isn't active links to the assignments.  I apologize if this sounds bitter. This idea has been submitted, supported, and validated for several years now, and it seems to be going nowhere.  ... View more

 @kmeeusen , I just found this conversation and I'm trying to print a Canvas ePub for a student with accessibility issue. When I exported the ePub, it came with the print function disabled. Do you know if there is a setting that needs to be changed to make sure it can be printed? ... View more

Thanks,  @mgudites . I will pass this along to the team and we'll see if takes care of what we need. I appreciate the information and screen shot, and I still look forward to hearing how it goes when you're live next month. We would really like to hear that this is working! ... View more

 @mgudites  - Are you using cross-listed courses with the ILP in Canvas? In talking with a couple of other institutions, they've said that cross-listing isn't possible with ILP when using Canvas, so we've put the project on hold for now. Like  @tyler_clair , that is a big concern for us. I'll be eager to hear about your experience once you go live in May. From what we've gathered through talking to the few institutions using ILP and Canvas, this particular integration is still being fleshed out to some degree. We've also heard that they may have an update coming that will eliminate the need to go through Kimono and work directly with Canvas. Have you been told that? ... View more

Hi Dona, This issue is happening on our campus, so unfortunately it isn't an issue of connectivity or poor network performance. It is through ethernet connection to the campus network.  Andrea ... View more

This is becoming a widespread problem on our campus, and it isn't just happening on campus. It is happening when people are working at home and from other locations, so it isn't network related. We've been told to clear cache, which works temporarily, but that is needed at least once a week to keep up with the missing images. We use Chrome and are using the updated version. Is anyone finding a better, more permanent fix? Instructure Support is telling us they can't replicate the issue, so we are not making headway there. ... View more

We just saw a demo of this a week ago and I'd love to hear from any higher ed institutions who are using this as well. We have been waiting a long time for this product to be up-and-running for Canvas and would love for it to be working smoothly. Please share any experiences...good and bad, pros and cons. Ellucian ILP  #Ellucianilp‌ ... View more

I know that there are some differences in FERPA for K12 as opposed to higher ed, but if comments are made on submissions for students and those are then transferred back to the student's personal Google account rather than an institutional Google account, it isn't under the institutional privacy agreement and is beyond directory information which then violates FERPA. I have many faculty who would like to use Google to a greater extent, but since we don't have an institutional agreement, they can't use it for a lot of things because of FERPA. Our students use Google apps to create and submit assignments, but once they are submitted, everything else happens in Canvas so it is protected. It sounds like, until we have an institutional agreement with Google, we'll have to wait to try Google Course Kit. ... View more

 @fisher1 ‌ Are you a Google school? I would like to take a look at the beta, but I've been asked about privacy issues since we are not a Google institution (we are currently a Microsoft institution). Especially knowing that Google is making copies of submissions and saving to both the student's Google Drive and faculty member's Google Drive, and for us those aren't institutional accounts, we have FERPA concerns. Thoughts? ... View more

 @Renee_Carney ‌, stefaniesanders‌,  @bwaters  and mouldera‌ Students can get to assignments a variety of ways, so allowing faculty the ability to toggle the assignments list on/off in the syllabus tool doesn't leave them "blindsided" by assignment changes. They can go to the Grades link and get to their assignments, but it really depends on the assignment and type of assignment whether or not they can complete it by going that route. I have had many students ask me for help getting started with an assignment because they tried accessing them that way and found they couldn't get to all of the instructions or information provided without going to the assignment itself. Because students can get to assignments several ways, over time I've found it easiest to cut off as many routes as possible. I disable the syllabus tool (only because of the live links to assignments), modules, assignments, and quizzes. Although I organize my content in modules on the backend for myself, I drive students through the course using pages and provide links to assignments, quizzes, and discussions on the content pages themselves. This also gives them fewer menu items to click around and see how many ways they can get confused. That said, I would like to be able to use the syllabus tool, but as long as the assignments are live links at the bottom of that tool, I can't do that. Students will take the shortcut if given the chance, and they'll click on the assignments there and skip content if possible. There have been many legitimate reasons given in this thread for why the assignments should be an option to toggle off or at least be made a static list rather than a list of live links. I hope that this will finally make it high enough to get some attention. There are very few faculty at our institution who use the syllabus tool, and the majority who have chosen not to have made that choice because of the list of assignments that appear at the bottom of the tool. ...

I would like to see this as an option to make the list a static list so it can be used as an outline of course activities, but still not clickable. I, too, don't want students to go to this list and click on assignments and quizzes and complete them while skipping course content intended for them to read, process, and review before attempting those activities and assessments. ...
