Thanks so much stefaniesanders @kmeeusen laurakgibbs for pointing me to the right places. I love it that I can post a question and get such rich responses and ideas from the community. Panda giphy as a token of my appreciation:

So an academic asked me for my top ten *cool things for teaching in Canvas* ... I've got my favourites but seeking inspiration for Canvas hacks that have worked really well for early adopters Thanks in advance

Hi there - just a heads-up, I've used this flash notice style in courses and had feedback that it looks like a button and users were momentarily confused that it was not a navigational item. (Damn, looks so pretty!) So I'm sticking to the simple border now.

I've also used it as a student in a distance course. Easy as. We introduced ourselves to the group with short vids with these guidelines: - name - current position or background - why taking this degree or subject - something interesting about yourself - If you were a vegetable, what would you be? Most played along and I liked being able to see everyone (and the views and engagement stats). We haven't got it integrated into Canvas yet so interested to follow this conversation.

Great news

thanks James, any idea when jQuery-UI is going to be deprecated???

Agree, I'd like to see the overlay removed as default. Would be great to increase student control in other areas relevant to their learning (like being able to delete their chat entries for example), choosing the card display is not such a biggie, IMHO

Hi Ryan Here's an interesting link about chat: https://community.canvaslms.com/message/65764-re-live-chatdiscussion-on-content-pages?commentID=65764#comment-65764 @abunag ‌ @nvalentine ‌

Hi Anthony - I've been struggling also to find a compelling reason to use it, particularly as students can't delete their posts and it seems like it would have to be carefully moderated, turned on and off. As you say, webinar might be more helpful. Still, there are some creative Canvasers in this community who have great ideas...

Does anyone use chat? I saw one recommendation to leave Chat on as back-channel discussions during class. Any other uses? Does chat work on all mobile devices?

carmen_vallis · ‎03-05-2017

Thanks Renee - yep, I do. Would like the default size to be 14pt for students who may not know how to zoom, and without adding an instruction, also so the body text looks more in proportion with heading styles. Thanks #KLM for your suggestion

This idea has been developed and deployed to Canvas We've noticed the font size seems too small - especially after the introduction of Lato font. We have been manually applying styles to text to make it more attractive and easy to read - this would be so easily controlled by default CSS and a lot less labour-intensive. A similar request was archived: Default Font Size but I think this is more of a bug fix rather than a feature request.
