Dear all, I am looking into the Canvas Calendar and its integration with Outlook through the Calendar Feed. I wanted to ask if this feed only shows calendars that are active on the Canvas Calendar itself (i.e. not hidden) or whether it shows all events, regardless of what is shown on the Canvas Calendar. As an admin, I am not active on many courses and few of these have active events. Before I start testing, I wanted to ask if Ii could find an answer. Many thanks, Patrick

We have a course that includes peer reviews as part of one of the assignments. When looking into students yet to complete their reviews, we found that some could not see the 'Peer Review' item in their to-do list on the course homepage, which may be the reason why they did not do the task. Although this task did appear on their dashboard, it was not immediately visible as the task date was in the past. My question is whether there is a way to increase the number of items of the course to-do list or to add a feature to 'Show All' as exists on the Dashboard?

My suggestion is for the Admin Course Search to be given options such as 'all these words' and 'any of these words' to assist in finding courses. At present, the search is limited to 'exact phrase' searches, meaning either have to be wide with just a single word or exactly correct, which is not always easy due to naming conventions. Having other options would allow users to search something like 'modern history' and find courses like 'Modern South American History' and similar rather than having to search single phrases and scroll through all 'modern' or 'history' courses.

@RobDitto - Thank you for clarifying. It does appear that the student leader can only see a list of all students, with those part of their group checked, rather than those unassigned. As a workaround, we set up an 'Unassigned Students' group so student leaders can see from here who is yet to join a group. All students would be added to this and then informed that they can move to the group they wish from here. My feature request would be that somewhere - either in the panel on the left of the group set page, the 'manage' list of students, or elsewhere - student leaders could see a list of unassigned students with whom they can communicate to invite to their group.

@RobDitto - thank you for sharing this, my only concern is that, when testing, I think this showed me a list of all students with the checked ones being part of that group. Please correct me if I am wrong, I will have another look myself in the meantime.

My idea is to allow Student Group Leaders to view the list of Unassigned Students so they can contact these individuals regarding joining their group. While a Student Group Leader can presently see a list of everyone in the course if they click ‘Manage’ on their course, they are unable to see who of these are unassigned. It would be great if either here or somewhere else, the Student Group Leaders could see those unassigned so they could reach out to them themselves rather than those with other roles having to send a message out to unassigned students on their behalf.
