I would like to see the Student View permission separated from Courses-Add/edit/delete. I have a very distributed Canvas instance, and I have a lot of Account admins who need to be able to use the student view but NOT have access to the Courses-add/edit/delete permissions. Please separate these permissions. Thanks, Lisa Stickdorn

I cannot emphasize enough how MUCH the change in the course date "enhancement" is going to break things for us at our institution. Without the ability to either limit teachers' ability to change course dates (through a permission setting) or use JS to hide the course dates, the LMS admins' work (to fix dates in courses) will become a major nightmare. PLEASE have your engineers revisit this issue! Lisa

Hi, I'd like to create a sub-account admin ole that would have the permission to add people to a course, but I would like the account role to only be able to enroll a particular custom course role. Is it somehow possible to restrict this sub-account admin role to only see one selection in the drop-down list in the add people dialog box? Thanks for any suggestions, Lisa Stickdorn

If the script is modified to add/remove teachers, can you share it with all of us? That would be a great extra feature. Lisa

This is wonderful! Thanks so much! Lisa

Is it possible to find out how an was generated? SIS or manually? (I have someone who swears course invitations are being sent out when an SIS Import generates enrollments.) An SIS imports should not create a course invitation, should it? Is there a way to determine which method was used to generate an enrollment? Thanks, Lisa

A wonderful idea. I user Postman all the time.

Is it possible to add multiple users to Commons groups? We would like to create groups of Commons courses and allow large numbers of users access to the courses. Is it possible to add a large number of users to a Commons group other than one at a time? Thanks, Lisa Stickdorn

Very cool. We will be using it.

Hi, We have Just-In-Time provisioning turned on in our production instance. At present, we have sis_user_id checked in "provisioning only." If a new user logs into (with JIT provisioning) BEFORE our SIS uploads happen (containing this new user), would the sis_user_id be updated if it is checked in "Provisioning Only" in the federated attributes? We seem to have a recurring problem that if a user logs in with JIT provisioning, and the account is created, and then the sis uploads occurs with the new user account info, we end up with 2 user accounts: One without the sis_user_id, (created byt the JIT provisioning) and another with the sis_user_id (created by the sis upload.) How can we prevent this from happening? Hope I am making sense, here. Thanks, Lisa

I have had good luck with the "Hammer of the Gods" method. If you watch the video, they walk you through the entire process. Also, as an account admin, I've uploaded a course template to Commons in a protected group. (A group that only certain people have access to, so it is not shared publicly, nor is it shared with my entire institution.) Then, I've run a provisioning report, and mass-enrolled myself as a teacher into all the courses that need the template. Then I import the course template from Commons into all the courses I've enrolled myself into. After the template is imported into all the courses, I change my enrollment status from "active" to "deleted" in my enrollments file, and re-run the file in SIS Imports to remove myself from all the courses. Still a few steps, but seems to be much better than one course at a time. Hope that all makes sense, Lisa

I did some research, and I now understand that instructor replies to student messages are stored on the Student's inbox, rather than the Instructor's sent items. (I know they are "conversations," but this is endlessly confusing to both our faculty and students.) However, where does an instructor reply to a student's message end up when the instructor replies from his email client on his phone? (Not using the Canvas app.) I've been searching and searching, and cannot find an instructor's replies to a student's message anywhere; not in the students messages, not in the instructor's messages. Are there any particular places I should look? And are there any particular notification preferences that should be set for replies from a phone email client? Hope I am making sense, here. Thanks, Lisa#

Perhaps this question has been asked somewhere already, but I cannot find anything. I have a third-party vendor requesting a developer key. (Zoom) Not to develop, but for SSO from Canvas to Zoom, I guess. What are the security considerations for granting developer keys to third-party vendors? Granting developer keys to third-party vendors makes me nervous. Should I be? Thanks, Lisa

For Hack Night, Topics as a non-programmer I'd be interested in: "Non-programmers' hacks for courses" " How to shamelessly pirate code from others and tweak it for your own Canvas uses" And lots of userscripts/Canvancement-style stuff!!!!!!!!!! Lisa

Is there a maximum number of courses on user can be enrolled into at one time? I have a user who is complaining about Canvas being "very slow" and find that she is enrolled in more than 300 courses. Would loading this many enrollments cause the courses menu item to take forever to load all those courses? Thanks, Lisa

What is the "unconference" that is held on Friday?

lstickdo · ‎05-23-2017

OK. So I've never been to Keystone in July. What will the weather be like? What kind of clothes should I bring? The weather in the Midwest, where I'm from, is usually very hot and humid. Thanks, Lisa

I am trying to "update multiple courses in an account." The canvas live API lists a parameter: course_ids (List of ids of courses to update. At most 500 courses may be updated in one call.) I've tried typing in the Canvas course ID, (usually a six-digit number) and I've tried typing in the Course ID, which is also The SIS ID. no matter what I type in, I receive the message: { " message ": "must specify course_ids[]" } I cannot figure out what to type in the course IDs box in the Live API. Can someone offer some advice? Thanks.
