I definitely don't have confidence in coding. I just copied the three different scenarios given by Ron, and then inserted different text, say where the text 'red' was and inserted 'blue'. But other than doing that, just copied and pasted. 🙂

I found a post and solution for my inquiry from Canvas Community Coach @Ron_Bowman - may not be an exact solution, but it HELPS tremendously so I wanted to share. The information may be found Colored Font - scroll down - he posted on 05-07-2021 the following: "You are lucky - I just figured out how to do what you want. You can now use Latex about anywhere you can type in information. You just have to know how to use it in Canvas and how it works in general. first, you will need $ and $ as the start and stop delimiters for regular indentation. or $$ information $$ for centering it ( I saw this from a post that the great James of Canvas lore posted - don't know where though). Then you have to figure out how to use the latex information. as an example below is my test module with three headers (note to actually show a space in latex you have to use \<space> where <space> represents the actual space entered by hitting the space bar- you see that in the third header line before the definecolor part first header the title name is: $$ {\textcolor{red} {\textbf {Title}} }$$ Second header : $ \textcolor{blue}{\underline{Title}}$ Third header: $\colorbox{yellow}{The text is written here}\ \ \definecolor{antique}{rgb}{0.98, 0.92, 0.84} \colorbox{antique}{hello}$ YAY! For those who may need it as I did! Heather

Thanks @KristinL for your reply. I figured as much. 🙂 I tried every which way and nothing. I did find out from our IT analyst, that the school where this was done uses Ciditools. I'm wondering if they used that platform to manipulate the text headers. I also found out that this can be done with a custom CSS - but the trick would be to find a way to indicate that an element should be styled as such, e.g. if it's indented a 'silly' amount of times, say a level 5 indent, then we would apply the center style and jazz it up. 🙂 Per my IT guy. No clue what that all means, but wanted to share what he told me for future questions. 🙂 Thanks again...Heather

Specifically, I'd like to know how this individual separated their modules with the headers you'll see in the image below. Using indents on the text header does not CENTER the text as the text will only indent so far. Any ideas on HOW the person did this?

At the moment, we are using Badgr, It is not Badgr Pro. We have two different courses that have become problematic. The first course is a student course. Each time the students complete a module they should receive a badge. This intermittently stops working. Each student that has said they are not receiving their badges, I have gone into their account to verify, and they are correct. I was told by Badgr to do an Export which would “push” the badges into the student’s account. I did this and it worked, but several more times the same thing would occur and that was the “fix”. I was unsure if this meant there was something wrong with the way Badgr was working in our Canvas instance, or if this was normal? The second issue is within an instructor course that is used for issuing a badge after an instructor has completed the requirements for what we call Design Camp. There were two different issues. The first issue was badges being issued without anyone issuing them, and the other was being able to issue badges. I do think that in both of those courses we “upgraded” to the advertised version of Badgr, and from what I heard in our LMS Admin meeting today, that may have added to the problem. I appreciate any assistance you can give us on this. We may have to look into using a different product.

@SamOHanlon- Wow! I LOVE THIS! I'm going to share your information with our faculty! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!

hbrown5018 · ‎11-17-2022

Thanks so much Colton! I really appreciate your feedback. I'm thinking the faculty member needs to do a little house (aka course) cleaning! 🙂 Heather

I have a faculty member who has asked this question and provided the following information: I have assignments from 2020 that keep popping up on my calendar and to-do list. There are enough of these that I need a quick way to get rid of the outdated entries (without having to remove them one-by-one). My thought is they've done several course copies and have not deleted any old assignments or to-do's from the previous course copies? Thank you for your assistance! Heather

hbrown5018 · ‎11-06-2022

It's a long story...but I have a student who I manually entered grades for, for 8 out of 10 modules. All modules have prerequisites. Because she didn't actually submit anything to complete the module(s) to move onto the next module, she can't access any modules because they are all locked. Am I able to unlock modules 1-8 for her but keep the modules prerequisites in place for the rest of the students? Thank you in advance. Heather

hbrown5018 · ‎10-20-2022

I'm asking for a faculty member. Can she add a person (she has permission) to her course after it has concluded? She wants another faculty member to be able to access her course as a learning tool. Thank you, Heather

hbrown5018 · ‎10-05-2022

I have created a Home page which is a resource for faculty. On this page there are several icons I made w/the icon maker tool. I cannot figure out how to space the icons out evenly so they are not right next to each other. Do I need to add padding or do I just use the spacebar to create the needed space between the icons? PS - I LOVE THE ICON MAKER!! Heather

Instructure - Canvas - now is the time to incorporate Turnitin for use in discussions. This has been an 'idea' since 2016!!!! If the Harmonize Discussion Platform can make Turnitin work for their discussions, surely Instructure can as well. Turnitin is paramount to the integrity of student's work that is submitted- we need a plagiarism checker in place.

hbrown5018 · ‎02-07-2022

Has anything been done about this feature idea? I reviewed the Discussions Redesign and do not see a plagiarism option.

I actually know how to upload an image, etc. I'm looking to design a custom image put on the course tile. Say develop it in PPT, I know this can be done, just can't remember how to do it.

Thank you! I am an instructional designer helping faculty with this task. 🙂
