Greetings @Stef_retired! Would you happen to have the engineering case # for this issue (pretty please)?   Thank you, Stephanie and have a WONDERFUL Day! With Warmest Regard, Timothy S. Lampley ... View more

Greetings  @ajerde01   It is nice to meet you! I'm at the cusp of my Master's degree, and have been detained by other engagements (i.e. I apologize for my lack of participation).  I'd be glad to share some resources with you. Have a SUPER Day! ... View more

Greetings to you  @jennifer_holt ! And welcome to the Canvas Community! This is a great question! You may have already viewed the Canvas Support Guide, but in case you haven't: users must be in the specific course for them to be invited to its conference.  Thinking out side the box, however, do you happen to know if your three sections are cross-listed together? The reason why I ask is because, sections that are cross-listed are, for lack of a better term 'merged' so that management of the sections--with the very same content--can be simplified for instructors (students still see themselves as enrolled in their unique sections).  As an extra-credit reward for your inquiry that information is here    You've inspired me to run an experiment in the Test Environment, to see if this will work!  Thank you! But let's get back to your issue.  You mentioned using ZOOM, and the limitations you are experiencing.  The symptoms you are experiencing, lead me to believe you do not have a ZOOM Pro Account.  You may want to check with whoever oversee these, at your institution, to see if you may receive a Pro Account.  If so, this will remedy the time-limit and user cap. In the meantime, I'll do some additional due-diligence on this, to see if there is a work-around (via the experiment!). Of course, the community will come to our aid, such as the incomparable and beautific stefaniesanders‌, and provide a more direct--if not useful--answer to your inquiry. Again, WELCOME!   I'll reconnect as I find out more information! Until then have a SUPER Day! ... View more

Greetings stefaniesanders Thank you for correcting my understanding of this (and my future replies to inquiries such as these)! Few things are as frustrating and providing information in a well-meaning, but inaccurate manner! "When you're green, you're growing...when you're ripe, you're rotten!" ~ Zig Ziglar Have a SUPER Day! P.S. - Please accept my regrets  @amunger17    - T.S.L. P.P.S. - You have a SUPER Day too! -  T.S.L. ... View more

Ah...these values "speak-my-language". One of the most fitting statements in regard to serving is: "to whom much is given, much is required".  I take this to mean that simply: our achievements are never truly "for ourselves".  Put another way: any milestone-marker that we are blessed to cross--was never meant to be a "trophy" gathering dust on the "mantle" of our achievements.  On the contrary, there is an obligation to (with joy) share, encourage, inspire--and even goad others to do the same.  The servant model, exhibits the empathetic property of coming "alongside"  those we support. To genuinely: In their success - Rejoice!      During their setback - Encourage! Thru their tribulation - Comfort! In short: neither ourselves, nor our accomplishments--are merely our own, but are for one another   ... View more

Greetings  @amunger17   WELCOME to (y)our Canvas Community, its a pleasure to make your virtual acquaintance! Hey!  That sounds like a innovative idea!  It looks like you will fit in quite well here! The reason I say that, is because Instructure is always working to determine a better-developed pathway to locate the vast amount and types of resources our community has to offer. In that vein, I would recommend that you submit this innovation for Instructure's Feature Idea Process. Plant your concept in the fertile soil of the community Watch it grow, as your shared idea gains traction in the community Finally, if enough attention and influence is given to it, you just may see Instructure add it to the platform! For more information please view the following links: What is the feature development process for Canvas?  How does the feature idea process work in the Canvas? One small favor, if it's adopted and implemented, then can I have your autograph?     Seriously, it's a noteworthy idea, worthy of being shared with the community.  Let's see what the rest of the community thinks about it! Have a SUPER Day! ... View more

Greetings All ( @kmeeusen    @GregoryBeyrer   @Bobby2   @Chris_Hofer   @dnimri  AND ESPECIALLY  @caccornero  )   Seeing posts like this, from the Seasoned Vet's of our Canvas Community reminds me just how special this "thing" is we've got going! You're all the best, and am happy just to be in the room with y'all! Have a SUPER Day! ... View more

Interesting strategy! With our instance of Canvas, we have our Term-start/end-dates, and then exception dates for Teacher, Student, TAs, and Designers to access a course before the Course-start/end-dates (These are set by the district, and cannot be altered by faculty).  Prior access, of course, allows teachers, designers, and TAs to prepare their production shells; and as faculty permit: allow students to become better acquainted with the course syllabus and navigation of the course before it starts. There are two conditions by which a course auto-concludes (within our instance): submission of final grades by the teacher to our system of record (Colleague), and when the Term-end-date is reached.  Regarding the first, students that had final grades submitted are set to "Inactive" Status. This allows student that are "incomplete" to continue access to the course, without permitting "participation access" from those who crossed the finish line.  Length of time set is per the manual Incomplete Grade Contract, between the faculty and student--processed by enrollment services--with an end-date no later than the Term-end-date. I always appreciate seeing "how the other half lives" (or at least administrates their Canvas instances) Have a SUPER Day! ... View more

Greetings snugent Nor should they   All types of shenanigans could occur! One question though...How does accommodate the context of "incomplete" grading  within Canvas, or do you?  Some institutions, for example, leave it as a completely manual process. I look forward to your reply and have a SUPER Day! ... View more

Hi David, I think I understand.  Another question please: What is the destination of the links?  That is say,  where are these links pointing to?  For example, are they resources from the course files (internally located), or links from outside of Canvas (YouTube video, or other external resource). The reason I ask, and if memory serves, there may be some type of security contingency to opening links from external locations via a web browser. Thank you much! ... View more

Greetings  @davidbohn  It's nice to meet you, and welcome to the Canvas Community! I want to make sure I'm understanding you correctly.  Are you asking: How do I use the Rich Content Editor to create hyperlinks for students to access--using the Canvas Mobile App for teachers? OR... How do I create links for students using the Mobile App that will open directly inside the LMS and not within a separate browser window? Appreciate your clarification.  I may just need more caffeine Have a SUPER Day! ... View more

Greetings  @behn_foroughi  Welcome to the Canvas Community!  It's nice to meet you! Great question!  Have you considered the use of Canvas' Collaborations utility?  Other than implementing an Learning Tool Interoperability feature, This native feature might just fill the bill for you. Please peruse the following resources from the Canvas Support Guides: What are Collaborations?  Depending on which tool you would like to use to facilitate a collaborative instance: How do I create a Google Drive collaboration as an instructor?  How do I create a Google Docs collaboration as an instructor?  You can set-up groups, and then either create, or have your student initiate collaborations within them. But wait!  that's not all... As a current graduate student myself, who would appreciate the facilitation of these tools (but we're stuck with Blackboard...ick!) if you so decided to have a live experience within your course you might consider using Canvas' Conferences tool as well. Here some information on that: What are Conferences?  I hope these prove helpful to you  @behn_foroughi , please let us know! Have a SUPER Day! ... View more
