Thanks for the suggestion, Kristin. I'll speak with our teachers about this.

Thanks for these suggestions! We use Canvas Studio for video submissions, and that's worked well. I've had a couple teachers mention KAMI, but I'll have to look into it more closely. @Chris_Hofer, maybe I've been imagining a problem we're not actually going to run into. I'll read the documentation you linked to and speak with my colleague who's more knowledgeable about the back end.
Cheers,
Jay

Hi @Steve_Hartnett,
Thanks for the suggestion. I'll have to look into cross listing more. I know that in our current setup, course links don't work between courses (external links should), but maybe if they're cross listed it would. I'll post again as we learn more.

Thanks for the suggestion. We're going to experiment more when the school year ends. Using external links could work, but I wonder it it'll end up creating it's own complexity. The student would need to open assignment links in new tabs in their browsers, then return to the original tab regularly. That might be difficult for younger students. The other piece (which we're also having trouble with) is creating one "source of truth" for all the assignments due on a given day. In general, using different courses for each subject works well for our 5th and 6th graders, but they definitely having a hard time keeping track of what they're responsible for completing each day. We'll keep trying and sharing what we learn. I'd love for this to be a thread where schools share their approaches.

Hi everybody, we're a new K-6 online school using Canvas. Handwritten work is important to our curriculum and pedagogy and necessary for our young students who can't type. As such, for assignments, we're having students photograph their work on paper and submit the .JPG's. We're also having students record videos of themselves reciting poetry, answering questions, and doing other things. Unfortunately, this is causing us to quickly approach our storage limits. Parents are uploading multiple 3 MB smartphone photos of worksheets every day, and this is clearly unsustainable.
My question is: how are other elementary schools handling assignment submissions? If you are having students take photos, is there a way to compress or export the images after a week or two? I'm very interested to hear what solutions you've come up with. Thanks.

Hi folks, We're currently designing our courses for elementary school users, and have run into an issue I'm hoping someone can help with. I really like the button-based homepages I've seen where students access all their subjects from within the same course. When we looked into this more, however, it seems there's no way to output grades for the different subjects with they're not separate courses. I'm trying to understand if it's possible to link from one course to another so that we could have a Homeroom course with a homepage that students use to access all their other courses, or if cross-listing could be solution. Does anyone know if there's a way to do this? Or am I missing an obvious solution to all subjects in the same course grading issue? We're using PowerSchool as out SIS if that's relevant. Thanks a lot.
