Wow, this is wonderful. Thank you for taking the time to create and share this. I clearly need to develop clue in VBA and Python so I can take advantage of this. ... View more

Hi Valerie, I know very little about the customization process so someone else will have to speak to your question. However, I do know that the availability of photos at all, avatars, and certain aspects of the roster are things that were set by people who administer and support Canvas. I know this because I inquired about the photo size option within our university first. ... View more

Thank you for your efforts as well. Perhaps we can both spread the word and get this to be implemented this time! ... View more

Hi everyone, This idea nearly garnered 100 votes to be considered for implementation. I have heard from colleagues that they are frustrated with the size of photos and I've been frustrated with the size of the pictures myself. I submitted an idea to allow users to select the photo size. I know the roster photos can be printed in a larger format because I've done so manually and I can do so through Angel. So I'm hoping Canvas will allow us to print rosters with larger photos as well. If you like the idea perhaps you can go and give a positive vote to the idea: ​ Also, if you like the idea perhaps you can share it with colleagues. Thanks! Stan ... View more

Hi, I agree that having printable rosters is a nice feature. In fact, I have such a feature/button on my Canvas page. However, the photos are still too small to be usable and the roster cannot be sorted by groups. Because this request was archived and because I know of a number of faculty who are unhappy with the size of the photos in the printed rosters I've submitted an idea to have the the photo size be selectable by instructors. I also included the notion that it would be nice if it could be sorted by groups. If you liked this idea perhaps you could vote on the new idea because it builds on this one.  Here's the link: Thank you. Stan ... View more

Hi Scott, Thank you for your kind suggestion. I had previously searched for and examined other related ideas but I concluded that even though there were requests for printable rosters, they are not the same as this idea. I do have a Print Roster button on Canvas (see arrow in attached photo). My issue is that the printed roster that is generated isn't highly useful because the photos are too small. In response to your suggestion, however, I did add that it would be nice to have the rosters sortable by groups too. Thank you again, Stan ... View more
