With all due respect. I am a "drveloper" for the open source . I was " moderated" because , like Trump..I opined..this should have been taken careally of..whathis the date. 2016..it was then 2017 .it is NOW. 2018 AND THIS US NOT FIXED? WHAT!!!?? SUPPOSEDLy open source can be fixed quickly by ",the community of volunteers." Guess not.. But..a 'little old lady" who. "U don't know nuthin 'but no computers. " a hillbilly bohunk.. "Shared" the pic to the folder I made in modules. Stoopud hillbilly wummin! THE POLITICALLY CORRECT LINUX REPLY WAS. " OH..You have encountered a KNOWN bug.."

I was offered THIS POSSIBLE FIX for the situation of different phones and differing capabilities to upload images. It "may" be due to the "age" of the install, which indicates that possibly updates are not being rolled out or that the students are not updating their apps. However, the "Canvas contact person" provided this after i was told to contact the person. I am posting this to determine if the PARTICULAR INSTRUCTIONS should be expanded in any way or just posted by me for the students. And a question is: What are "photo rolls" ? If access to photo rolls have not been given by users after installation of the mobile app, this could prevent them from uploading photos to discussion. What I might suggest to students with no ability to upload photos directly is to delete their current app, download the most current one, and when prompted, allow access to the photo roll. If this still isn’t working I await comments and depending on them I may post the fix for both classes "en masse" as opposed to speaking with individuals. thanks james

This has now become completely out of hand. I have PHYSICALLY VIEWED the following. A student with an Iphone 5 sees exactly what I see, as an administrator, to respond to a discussion and upload a picture. Another student with an Iphone 8 has no option to upload a picture. Another student with an Android S4 sees several options at the bottom to upload from places like Flikr but not from the phone. Another student with and Android S5 has no option to upload a picture. I have personally observed all of these situations today in class. I have been told by my Dean to contact my Canvas contact person which I will do tomorrow. james

LOL ANOTHER bombshell A woman "in her thirties" with "kids" was in lecture and "during a pause" lifted her left arm and spoke into her iPhone Watch . "OK, later". I was not bothered by this but did, later ask. Her IPhone was in her ....rather large...purse on the floor and when she spoke to the IPhone watch it went to the phone and yada yada.... I was visiting about the capabilites of the phone and she showed me a version of the self regulating map that I uploaded ten years or so ago and tapped the "phone" symbol and it appeared and she asked me a question about the lecture and then showed me the Iwatch and....... WHAT I SAID SEVERAL FEET AWAY from her was on her phone IN TEXT....... WHAT!!!!!!!?????? Following desultory conversation revealed that she has several children and is a mid-level supervisor at her work and yada yada...... BUT.....she said that "I HAD TO GET the Iphone and Iwatch because otherwise I would be CONTINUALLY having to "pick up the phone, go through the menu, etc etc. etc. etc. (YES I know, according the useage there should only be one ".etc"...... BUT.... this woman represents exactly the OPPOSITE of the "people" which we are "supposedly targeting".... And is...........WAAAYYYY BEYOND ..... what "academia" thinks is going on..... because of.............quoting from a very "eddicated" person from the seventies...... "a felt need". To sum this up...... I was ............amazed that the TECHNOLOGY of the IWATCH...................was VIEWABLE BY ME from SEVERAL FEET AWAY....... A WATCH.........less than the size of a "silver dollar"....WHAT!!!?? The portent........... If the Canvas "team" can................somehow.............purposely........GET AHEAD OF THEIR SKIS......... They "may" catch up with what was referenced by several people above............. I thought that Android was cutting edge.....and yes.....for "open source / smoke and mirrors closed source " it "is".... But the Iwatch and Iphone are just .....scary.... i am SERIOUSLY considering purchasing the system..... shudder..........shudder................

Well, i had a student in one section upload from an iPhone, but another student in another section "could not upload from my phone". So I have asked for more info. The original work was with students using Android so it "may" be and Android specific thing or it may be that "little elves" changed the permissions from two weeks ago and today. dunno jts

I, personally, think it is a useful thing but would also remind folks that the LOCAL college can, apparently, opt for not allowing a direct upload by a student from a phone. I, personally, as an "administrator" find it well....easy.... to upload a image from my phone. On a Samsung S5 Android a) Click Canvas instructor b) click the Class Card c) click Discussions d) click the appropriate thread or create a thread e) click reply if addressing a pre-existing thread f) click the "paperclip" to attach g) One sees "camera" "gallery" "device" h) click gallery One sees images that can be sorted by "Time" or "album" i) click the desired image j) one sees the window to type a reply and the image below it. k) enter text l) click the "double arrow" to send IN THE REPLY there is a little paperclip, for this user, above the text of the reply and to the right. m) click the paperclip and the image appears in a separate window. One must close it to go back to the message. james

LOL I made an OVERLY LONG post elsewhere about that this would be a good thing....but..... beware the consequences of good intentions! lol I actually have the college's overall master calendar in my personal calendar that is on my smartphone also... which is a GOOD thing...but.... This colllege, like all colleges i assume, has....a POSITIVE FLURRY..... of things that are happening the first few weeks of a semester...and the end of the semester...just lots of things. In other words...yeah....you are now "stuck" entering things.... but...if this is implemented, and I think that it should be, one will then be "stuck" deleting a LOT of stuff in....each and every section in their calendars of stuff that you do not actually want to be there... just sayin'. And, again, I like the importation of a calendar.. but....most folks do not know how to edit a "raw" icalendar...file.. So....here is how to do the deed....if you presently want it on your smart phone or home computer. a) on your computer make a "personal calendar to edit" calendar... profile... b) import the calendar c) it will be SOMEWHAT tedious.... but go through and remove the events that you do not actually WANT in the calendar... d) update it ...it will ONLY BE on your personal calendar and it will not feed "back" into anything... e) download or export the calendar f) then import to the calendar that will be your master calendar... g) you will then have the "college master calendar" without the things that you don't need and having the things that you do need. h) depending on your calendar app you SHOULD be able to view "multiple calendars".... thus YOU...personally..... could view this "college calendar that I modfied" and your "other calendar" to see both or even three or four. i) this can get really "too much in the square" on a cell phone, but it does work. on YOUR cell phone or computer.. But....again..... if this "college calendar import" is ever implemented you will be provided with an .ical or .csv file and instead of just importhing the whole thing the above method should provde a more workable amount of information from the colletge calendar. or not..lol.. just a thought of little worth. james

Hi. This author was given a suggestion to post here a distillation of a comment made elsewhere about "how can I sync my Google(tm) / whatever calendar and Canvas calendar? . There are actually two parts to the comment: a) "how to do the calendar" b) whether the expended energy on the part of the Canvas time is justiied. A) It is the opinion of this author that the situation about "merging my calendar with my phone / home computer is really a situation of "the emPHAsis on the wrong SYLLAAHble" The user is almost always totally oblivious about "what has to be done" they want "to see the thing on my phone and the school computer". The developer always concentrates on "what needs to be done" but is often also has "one way of thinking" about a situation because of the words that are used in the discussion. What the user wants is: " I want to see my tweaks of the Canvas calendar on my phone ( or at home on my home computer). What is left unstated is that "the college as a master academic calendar on my school computer and my home computer and maybe on my phone that I can VIEW. The teacher cannot interact with it. HOWEVER, my little nook in the great universe of colleges actually provided a .csv file which we could put on our "home / phone " computer which had the school's academic calendar on it. In other words, ON A PERSONAL PHONE OR COMPUTER the user could interact with the file. This file is not "dynamic" ( that will be addressed later ). It is only tweakable by the user and viewable by the user. What is missed in the "question" "When will canvas let me put the IMPLIED Canvas ONLY that the teacher has tweaked for the student that is IN THE CLASS part of Canvas. Again, the UNstated implication is that the teacher makes tweaks in the Canvas generic calendar and then downloads it to the local phone or computer or.... can put the Google or local calendar BACK ONTO the Canvas Class' calendar. What is not thought about by the user is the implication that a change on one will automatically sync with the other. Or, is at least "replaceable by new file". So, to the point of this comment. The emphasis is on the wrong syllable. B) The college already has a master calendar for the next year or two years. The teacher cannot interact with this calendar unless the college provides it as a "feed" for maybe.....the teacher's subsite. This was done primitively a few years ago at another college where I was participating. C) Canvas has a calendar "within the INDIVIDUAL section's part" of Canvas. In other words, this author can place tweak section one differently from section two and I ....as the teacher, can observe both or individaully. The student sees only the individual section. D) WE MUST NOW STEP BACK to look at this from a "nervous administrator". The nervous administrator wants to not have some "hacker" somehow be able to "hack" the calendar... it has to be "one way". So, how can both situations be addressed? E) the two end user cases. a) the student end user now can see the tweaked calendar WITHIN the section on Canvas. The student cannot interact with it only view it. b) the teacher end user can tweak the generic COLLEGE calendar within each section and can download that to a local device but cannot upload tweaks back to the calendar within Canvas. c) the teacher end user who is already using a smart phone or home computer to interact with THIRD PARTY calendars such as Gmail(tm) calendar wants to be able to "interact" with the Canvas calendar but that is probably NOT ... what they "really" want. What they "really" want is to have " possibly " the college's calendar on both the Canvas calendar and their local (Gmail(tm) ) calendar so that they have "everything in one place". So the question is how to provide what the teacher end user "think" that they want on their local device ( phone / home computer). This really is a rather simple fix in term of the idea but not necessarily the coding. F) The local Canvas person at the college acts as an interface to provide the "college calendar" as a file to the Canvas Calendar app so that: i) the teacher end user can optionally choose to include the college file in this class or that class or all classes ii) the teacher end user has it willy nilly. G) the teacher can then tweak the provided calendar from the college within Canvas. H) the Canvas calendar can then be downloaded to the teacher's local device as an .ical or as a .csv. This is not the same as "syncing" and it does not need to so be. "syncing" implies that the calendar NEEDS to be synced daily or whatever. The college's calendar is fixed YEARS down the road. Now, yes, the college may change a few things around such as "celebrating" something in a particular week such as a "home game celebration". The actual end user teacher will probably SELDOM actually "tweak" a section's canvas calendar on a local device or through a calendar app on a home computer BACK UP to the Canvas calendar. What the teacher end user will almost always do is tweak the calendar WITHIN the canvas section's INTERFACE. What is being advocated is .... ......that the teacher end user who actually uses and end device can download a tweaked version of the college's calendar and then has all things on one device... H) So, the answer then falls out as a simple idea. i) the Canvas interface places, or works with the IT people, to place into "Canvas" as a generic UPLOAD by the Canvas interface....the college calendar into the particular section. or) ii)The Canvas interface places the college's calendar into ALL canvas calendars which cannot be tweaked in the local section except manually by the end user teacher. iii) The teacher end user can then tweak the local section calendar which may or may not have the college's calendar on it so that the end user student merely observes the calendar. iv) the teacher end user can be provided with TWO options to download the PREVIOUSLY tweaked calendar as a .ical or .csv file onto their local machine or smart phone. THE UNINTENDED consequence of this for the teacher enduser who has the now tweaked college / canvas / canvas local section / tweaked calendar ON THEIR LOCAL smart phone or computer is that the downloaded calendar is then static. The situation is NOT BAD.... If it is stated ON THE DOWNLOAD PAGE..... that the teacher will have to DELETE the PRESENT calendar which is on the teacher end user device.... and then REload the newly tweaked calendar then.... everything falls out like Golden Apples from the Sun. I ) The worried administrator does not have a concern because nothing is "uploaded" from a hacker or a novice teacher end user. II) the student sees .....maybe.....once every few days.....the tweaked calendar in the Canvas section and has no idea of what is going on behind the scenes. III) the teacher end user who actually has "cross platform" enabled "some kind of college calendar thing" and "home use calendar" has the ....admittedly.....ONE WAY method of.... not "syncing" up and down in a minute to minute situation .... but then.... what does the teacher actually DO? The teacher usually tweaks a calendar once and then done... So.....the teacher end user has....on the phone......."the college calendar"...."the tweaked section calendar which is HOLDING the college calendar and their "home calendar".. One way to think of it is the Venn Diagram as opposed to "syncing" or "merging". The outer circle of the Venn Diagram is the college's master calendar which may or may not be included in the local section's calendar. The next inner circle is the tweaked section's calendar. The innermost circle is the teacher end user's device with can have: the college master calendar, the local section's calendar, the home / whatever / Gmail(tm) calendar. The idea is very simple. The code, however, may not be so straightforward. b) it is suggested that to determine if this is actually DESIRED that: i) the local populace of Canvas users be polled, which is really "preaching to the choir". ii) the college interface person(s) poll the actual college instructors as to whether this is actually needed. The Canvas team can then consider such data. just a few thoughts, of little worth. james P.S. Ummmm the original suggestion was that I provide a CONCISE..... post....ummm that didn't happen!

Well....... just thought I'd mention that the LE version is ...."old" ... designed in the MS(tm) WinXP(tm) era. And that is OK!! MS(tm) is giving the gentle user "a taste" of what can be done with the whole application (paid for). What was posted about what needs to be done to get a functional, printable, exam is correct but it will "take some fiddling" as it were. This whole thread really should possibly spark a more general discussion about whether Canvas needs to "be all things to all people". There is an old adage in the world of Linux that is something like this: "one job one app" or "one need one app". There is nothing wrong with that approach. The only thing "wrong with it" is that..... "people" always "want more" and.....to make MONEY...the developers always have to "provide more". And sometimes that leads to destruction because the weight of all the "top hamper" becomes unwieldy. There are a LOT ....i mean..........a LOT of proprietary and non-proprietary "test generators" running around in the world of software .... and a LOT of the FREE as in "free beer" software really is first rate and some of it is....not so much.... The really GOOD software that does not have a "bunker mentality" and tries to FORCE people to use it and ONLY it... whether it be commercial or FOSS really is.......good........ AND.....if one thinks about it.... think of the lowly "pencil".... a pencil is a pencil is a pencil.......but we have BAJILLION of different shapes, colours, sizes, implementations, etc... but a pencil is a pencil... and the same for a "test generator". The ONLY REAL REASON.....to have a "keep the buyer in MY STABLE" is because of a particular implementation of deploying the "test bank" which is provide by...guess who.......the book publishers. I............PERSONALLY............have a "book" that..........was published in the late fifties..... Oh my gaawwly.......fifties........WHY IS HE EVEN MENTIONING that piece of DECAYED, STOOPID., USELESS piece of drek!!?? One reason and only one reason. WHEN IT COMES RIGHT DOWN TO IT............ "the parts of the cell are the parts of the cell"....at the high school level or the entering "terminal" biology class. The nucleus is the nucleus and that is that for those students. The "noun" is a person, place or thing........although maybe not nowadays....but anyway............ BASIC CLASSES have rather definable information. So............ this BIG LONG POST DEVOLVES TO.... A).......JUST WHO............actually USES Canvas for more than grade keeping, posting syllabi, etc. ? i) a person who uses a "provided test bank" as required by the department ii) a person who "makes up tests to suit the class" It does not really matter which .... If one looks at in a cold and calculating manner. A) the teacher has to "make a test". B) the teacher has one of two choices i) use a provided test bank ii) make it up whole cloth or using a test bank to provide the basis of the test. B) The teacher wants to NOT MAKE IT AGAIN....if possible...in other words.........save the test for next semester. Does it matter whether the test is "made in Canvas" or "in a test generator" in terms of doing either of those with the caveat that a bureaucrat above the teacher says.......DO THIS OR FEEL MY WRATH!! ? No. So......to finish this off.... Would it be worth discussion to have a discussion about......hmmm that's kind of like Snoopy skating around on the ice covered pond! Would it be worth discussion to: a) have EACH AND EVERY stakeholder here at Canvas NOW and IN THE FUTURE .....to provide: a) the name of their available test generating programs ( proprietary and non-proprietary) AND the "export" file type. b) that "Canvas" provide a HARD LINK to the LISTING of the aforementioned test generators and the exports thereof. c) and that the Canvas devs then concentrate on the programming to IMPORT the said exam file types FLAWLESSLY.........as in FLAWlessly.... d) or, given that proprietary software sometimes makes it IMPOSSIBLE to "export / import" "completely"....that the developers then CLEARLY STATE that........maybe...."you can make a multiple choice and a matching but you cannot include an image". Dunno...........this is all just a suggestion. Of little worth. And, as always, if anyone wishes to comment on my REALLY, REALLY LOOOONNNNGGGG post, please so do. james sheldon

This is a fine idea but..... It would require some extra kind of "drop down menu" and it would require that the, when invoked, the "database search function" would have to go through - user clicks main drop down menu - user clicks function "a" - Then "function a" says to him or herself... ( think the admins in the tall hats in Tron) "I will now go out into the database while "pulling a string to find the "end of search string" other user ( the student) and come back to here, grab another string and repeat to come back here with another "end of search string (student) ) , grab another string and repeat by going out and coming back (this is how a "relational" database works as opposed to a "flat file" database works ) . Ok so I ( the old guy in the tall hat) now have all the strings to the other end of string users, what does my user want? Oh yeah, run down the staircase looking at the different messages ( text $ ) from my user ( which had to be figured out ahead of time by the programmers and approved by the various stakeholders) grab the message and run back to the top of the stairs, Or go over to the anteroom and grab the text $ ( message ) that my user threw down the message chute and come back here. Then....send his text $ to the end of string user ( student ) so run down each string with the message $ to each of the end of string users and come back, then, REDO all of this to verify that it has, indeed, been done or. GOSUB to a message to the main administrator ( the old man in TRON with the REALLY TALL hat) that something went wrong. If nothing went wrong, scurry back and take a message $ to my user that this has all been done. I don't know but it might possibly be that there is a much easier thing to do for both the programmers and the "user" the teachers. a) We presently have the function in the formal spreadsheet / gradebook to "slider" exams / whatever. b) Let us suppose that the teacher is watching one exam and one quiz. c) the teacher can ust "grab and slide" the "thing" to the left so that one can easily see the thing(s) and the name of the students. c) The teacher can then easily see "who has done what". I will now make a small suggestion, of little worth. It would be a LOT EASIER to program a function "at the top of the student name column" an option which is similar to what is in Blackboard. > e-mail selected students< And, since the teacher can actually view who has done what then.... The teacher simply selects the students who have not done something, or conversely have done something, and then ticks > e-mail selected students" and types in the message. It would be a lot more "extensible" for the teacher to type in a particular message for a particular situation ---- or to copy and paste a pre-designed message "--- and click send than to fiddle with a possible drop down message. And it would also be easier than searching through students out in the cells of the gradebook. ANOTHER VERSION OF THIS would be to have a function in which the teacher "right clicks" a student and has the option to e-mail the student. Either of these would then "call" back to the e-mail module. Clicking > e-mail selected students< would be going at it from the left side, as it were, and right clicking would be going at it from the right side, however, right clicking requires the addition of a popup information bubble and an extra function call. But, either would probably be easier than a "what if" type function. Of course each and every person reading this has her, or his, "vision" about what the "message students who... " means. And, of course, what I just posted is what I, personally, think of for the function and is not necessarily what is under discussion and others will view what I posted in their own lens. ( There are those who say that James is kinda myopic btw ) So all of the above is just a comment and of little worth. james

For a simple multiple choice exam it does, indeed, work. Ctrl+p in FF provided the normal print options. However, for me it had to be published first and then there is a green preview box at the top. james

This does, indeed work. Also the import function. I exported an exam which I made in 2002 using TestGen 7.5 using the QTI option and imported it into a "testing" quiz. It was imported successfully and it also imported the image ( a .png ). However, when one is using something like TestGen one should, as Tim Gunn so eloquently directs the Project Runway aspirants...be very THOUGHTFUL... about the choice of shoes from the wall, oooh...sorry...be very thoughtful about the actual "thing" that is being exported. There is an absolute plethora of options in something like TestGen, and the "descriptions" of the "file types and where they would go" was intended, methinks, for the "untrained". This oversimplification / overexplanation of the file types can lead to the wrong results. However, the wrong result can merely be deleted and another option attempted. At first I was slightly uneasy about Canvas seemingly only being able to "move files around within canvas". Would I be creating a lot of exams within Canvas and not be able to export them to the system of another college or, if my present college changes the LMS system, what then? The QTI import / export is............FOR MOST OF US.... something of a "well i only make so many exams and don't really have a way to TEST what will go in and out easily". After researching QTI and finding the very timely article at Wikipedia, > search for QTI Wikipedia< , I see that what "seems" to be the majority of open source systems, SAKAI being one, are supported. Thus, one "should" only have a problem importing from a proprietary system to QTI but if it "says" that it will so export then, from my small experience it should work. Then the only concern would be exporting back INTO the proprietary format. I have not so attempted and probably, at this stage will not. james sheldon
