We have so many math teachers that would love to use Studio with videos like Khan academy. Because math formulas and equations aren't available, they're not able.  ... View more

I'd love to see more question types in general for Studio including any and all of the ones available in New Quizzes. It'd be great to see more parity here across Instructure platforms  ... View more

If you are looking for an option that is less assessment focused, a discussion might be a better idea than a Canvas quiz. Discussions naturally lend themselves to open expression and learning from each-other.  ... View more

Being able to see the text behind the video can help for so many reasons but especially for our students with speech disabilities or who are learning a new language whether English or a world language. Being able to move the window would greatly improve their interactions with Canvas.  ... View more

I completely agree! If as a teacher, I'm trying to catch up on grading then I should be able to message these students separately. We truly need a separate option for students who "haven't been graded" and for students who "haven't submitted." ... View more

Yes, please! Our students get so excited over the little things in life. They'd love to experience this fully in the os student app‌! I vote ConfettiForAll! ... View more

The new updates coming out for the Parent App are looking great, Peyton Craighill‌! Glows: Grade List - The grade list view has allowed parents to easily scan through an entire grading period worth of assignments and focus on those that need attention instead of looking through the week by week view.  Grows: Student Submissions - We have seen issues in the past with other platforms (Google Classroom, etc.) when parents are able to see student submissions‌. Students tend to not voice their real opinions, worrying that their parents won't approve. We'd like to see some degree of privacy in the teacher/student relationship when submitting assignments. For example, we have several teachers that have created assignments where students journal about their lives in a free-write type format. This new development exposes all of this writing to their parents without any level of discretion. Course Access - The front page‌ allows parents to see entire courses even without a login to the Canvas instance. In the past, this was not possible and teachers have created courses with this assumption. I'd second what  @Hildi_Pardo  and  @katherine_leon  mentioned - this creates a security concern for us as teachers were under the impression that the information inside their courses would be kept private. Parents would now have access to see other students' comments/discussion posts that they are not directly attached to.  Mastery and Rubrics - We have several teachers (especially those using standards based grading) that use the mastery gradebook and rubrics on every assignment. Being able to see this type of grading and feedback in the Parent App is essential to parent communications in these courses.   Global Announcements - I also second Bradley Moser‌'s question about global announcements. It would be great to be able to use this app as an additional way to communicate announcements/news with parents! ... View more

We've seen similar issues at our school with mastery paths that have a large amount of data being processed in short amounts of time. It seems similar to if a server was getting too many site visits for a particular site and therefore crashing. Our hope is that developers are able to make this feature more reliable so that schools can continue to use this valuable part of Canvas.  ... View more

As others have mentioned in previous replies, I've seen instances where some gifs will play and others won't with no rhyme or reason. After submitting a support ticket, I also got a response that it is a known issue that is being worked on.  ... View more
