Bio:
My journey commenced in 1989 upon graduating from high school. Post-high school, I enlisted in the Army, serving as a Military Police Officer before transitioning to a civilian police officer role. After a rewarding 12-year career in law enforcement, I made the decision to further my education and returned to school.
In 2004, I embarked on a new phase of my career at Arkansas State University-Beebe, initially working with the Distance Learning programs. Over the years, my role evolved, and I transitioned to the ITS department while continuing to contribute to Distance Learning and Canvas initiatives.

At my institution, we use a single SIS ID for individuals, regardless of whether they hold more than one status (e.g., faculty, staff, or student). This practice causes complications within Canvas. Fo...

Thanks! Yes, I was thinking of re-purposing an existing field if I went that route. I read that adding anything to the global navigation runs the risk of breaking when Instructure pushes updates to C...
