Hi @greydon Ok, thanks. But the students have to use Chrome with Honorlock. What would have caused this that clearing the cache would fix?

@Ron_Bowman Hi. Thanks for the reply. I'm using the classic quizzes. Maybe she's running some script blocking extension that she forgot about, but wouldn't Honorlock have blocked the extension? And she hasn't had a problem with quizzes where she didn't have to use Honorlock (although I also don't know if she always uses the same browser). Honorlock is looking like the culprit now, but they're saying that she had network connectivity issues and they caused this problem. That sounds fishy to me, however. Everything else about the test seems to have displayed and worked correctly.

A student of mine just took a test in which the essay-type questions didn't make a text box available. The multiple choice questions worked fine, but she couldn't enter anything for the questions that required written answers. No other students had this problem. She (and all of the other students) were using Honorlock. There were also some problems with this student's Honorlock session, but I don't see how that would be related. The attached screenshot shows a question that should have had an essay text box. The student was using Chrome on a PC. Thanks for any help.

Hi. I see that this is an old question, but, while trying to figure it out myself, this is what I've found. (1) Go to the module and select add (the +). (2) From the drop down menu at the top of the add tool, select "External Tool." (3) Select "WebEx" from the list (not Cisco WebEx). And then "Add Item." I wish this gave me the option to link to a specific Webex meeting rather than (after a couple of clicks) all of the Webex meetings that I've set up for the semester. But, I guess it works if you really want to get rid of the Cisco Webex link in the list on the left side of your Canvas site.

@ColtonSwapp, Ok, thanks. Regarding my third point, on that page explaining how blueprint and associated courses work, it says (I think) that if the modules are changed in the associated course, then, when a sync occurs, they will revert back to the way that they are in the master (blueprint) course. I do, however, want to be able to change the modules for the summer term, but also have a copy of the course (the blueprint) that retains the standard 15-week semester module organization. I don't know if the attached figure will help, but it lays out what I have in mind. I'll also add that I have only one summer section (and I am the instructor). And the course is not one that I am just getting from a publisher and then deploying. So, even if I try to avoid it, I will need to make changes to the course during the summer term. thanks, Greg

Hi. Sorry if this has already been asked, but I didn't see it anywhere. Like many schools, we have 15-week semesters and then shorter terms during the summer (five weeks in my case). I'm thinking that creating a blueprint (i.e., master) and associated course for the summer is the way to go in this scenario, but I'm not sure. (1) For the summer, I will need different modules and due dates, but otherwise the content will be the same as every other semester. Changing all of this for the summer term and then having to change it back (especially the reorganized modules) for the fall semester is what I want to avoid. (2) I will make changes to the content during the summer term, and that content will need to be included in the fall course. (So, importing last spring's course in the fall won't work---at least not without duplicating any changes that I make during the summer.) Making changes to the blueprint during the summer and then importing the blueprint in the fall seems preferable. (3) This is in the instructions posted here: https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-sync-course-content-in-a-blueprint-course-as-an/ta-p/1271 "If modules or module items are rearranged in an associated course, the module order will be updated to match the blueprint course structure in the next sync. If a module item in an associated course is moved to another module, the module item will exist in both modules." If I'm reading this correctly and it hasn't changed, then creating new modules for the summer term (in the associated course) won't work? Thanks.

Hi, and thanks.
Yes, it does look like an unanswered question from a deployed quiz or from the preview of one. But it's just the way that the questions are showing up in a question bank. (And both screen shots are of the same question in the question back. One is just in edit mode and one isn't.)
It is, for some reason, filled text, but it's not prefilled text that was there before I put in a question title. I put in a title, "PPF-06," finished creating the question, and saved it. What I see in the question bank is what's shown in the first screenshot. If I go back in to edit mode, I have what's in the second screenshot.

When I create an essay question in a question bank, the question is marked as "unanswered," even when I put an answer in the " General answer comments. " I'm not sure why it's flagging that at all, but the problem is that "unanswered" then gets added to the beginning of the question title (as is shown in the second image). This, besides being an annoyance, also changes the (alphabetical) order in which the questions are listed when I am selected them to go on a quiz or test.

Sure, students can see it when it is in their navigation panel. (The screenshot below is in the student view.) It requires a Chrome extension to use, but if they have that, and if I leave it as is show in the image, then they can access Honorlock-protected tests by that Honorlock link or by going to the module where the test is.

Ok, thanks, chofer and James. In my case, I want to have access to Honorlock but not have that link showing up in the students' navigation list (for, basically, the same reason that I hide the Quizzes and Assignments links from them, but use them myself). I don't have control over the settings for external tools, but I'll ask my IT department about that.

Ok, thanks. If you're right, then my problem is that the links for third-party apps aren't behaving as they should in that part of the navigation list. I've attached a screenshot. (And yes, this is after saving the navigation list in Settings and refreshing the page.)
For the part of the navigation list that I can see and my students can't (on the far left), my expectation is that People should be followed by Honorlock and Google Drive. In fact, there are no third-party apps in that part of the list. After Outcomes is Collaboration, and that's it.

Hi. My question concerns the items that are in the navigation list and viewable by the instructor but not by the students. It appears that the items that are native to Canvas can be re-ordered, and so some items---e.g., People or Quizzes---can be kept on hand for instructors even when students can't see or access those links. The same doesn't appear to be the case for items that are not native to Canvas, though (e.g., Honorlock or Google Drive). Am I missing something, or is there some workaround for this? I'd like to be able to access Honorlock from the navigation list, but it's a link that my students don't need.
thanks!

Here are two scenarios. The first one happened to my student, the second (or something like the second) happened to a student of @bstrickl . In both, the student was given multiple attempts on the quiz and the setting was for the highest score to be the one that counts. (1) The student took the quiz before the due date and scored a 10/10. After the due date, because he had an attempt remaining, he took it again (in preparation for a test). He scored below 10/10, but the late penalty was applied to the 10/10, and so now his grade on this quiz is lower than it was when he did it before the due date. (2) The student took the quiz before the due date and scored an 8/10. After the due date, because he had an attempt remaining, he took it again (in preparation for a test). He scored a 10/10, but with the penalty applied to this 10/10, his grade on this quiz is now lower than it was when he did it before the due date. So, I can see that---at least to all appearances---Canvas, first, takes the highest score from all of the attempts and then applies the late penalty to that attempt (no matter when it occurred). However, the correct behavior, I think, is, first, to apply the penalty to late attempts (and not to on-time attempts), and then select the highest score.

Hi. I have a student who completed a couple of quizzes on time, and today, as preparation for the test, he re-took them (which he could do because he had unused attempts). I would have expected that, first, all penalties would be applied as appropriate for each attempt, and then, the highest grade would be the one recorded in his list of grades. (So in that case, his perfect score achieved before the due date wouldn't be affected by retaking the quizzes after the due date.) What happens instead is that his highest grade is identified and then the late penalty is applied to it---even if the highest grade was made before the due date. I do have "highest" selected as the option for which grade is recorded. But anyway, it's not that his most recent attempt is the one that is recorded. It's a previous (higher and on-time) attempt to which the penalty is being applied. Am I missing something? I know that I can delete the penalty, but is there a setting that won't make this an issue at all? The way that it is now seems like an obvious bug.
