You add the class in the HTML. <a class="external" href="https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Canvas-Guides/ct-p/canvas_guides" target="_blank" rel="noopener">

Adding class="external" to the link in HTML view removed the external link icon. I have not had to edit the code before they made the update.

After the Canvas update that added the external link icon, links that have the strong HTML tag do not display as bold. Here is the HTML code. <p><strong>Visit the <a href="https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Canvas-Guides/ct-p/canvas_guides" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Canvas Guides</a> for more information.</strong></p> The text is bold in edit mode. but looses the formatting in view. The issue happened only after Canvas changed the external link icon. How can I bold external links?

Hi @ColtonSwapp The RCE isn't available for the Formula Definition field. This is where you type the formula and where the instructor wants to use the symbols. Thanks, Linda

Hi James, Are you saying the IF function does not support < or > symbols. I have a faculty member wanting to use >+ (greater than or equal) in an equation. DOe sclassic or new quizzes support this symbol? Thanks, Linda

An instructor would like to use the formula below in quiz formula question. if abs(zscore) > = 3 This results in an unrecognized token error. Can you use "> =" with the formula question? It would be helpful to know what functions are not supported in a formula question. Instructors want to use expressions that work in Excel, but from my experience Canvas is not as robust.

A student did not submit a quiz. Both SpeedGrader and Show Student Quiz Results list no attempt. Yet in the student's user profile under Page Views one of the lines is https://asu.instructure.com/api/v1/courses/107021/quizzes/805467/submission. If the student did not submit the quiz what is meant by 'submission'? The user agent for this line in the log is Canvas for iOS .

How can I download group membership. The post with the api information - Automated report of group sets, groups and members in a course - is no long available.

The same exam in three different Canvas sites will not show quiz statistics. Get the error "We can't render statistics for this quiz, but you can download the reports." In each course about 35 students took the quiz. The quiz has 54 questions. The exam did have Text (no question) as text headers. In another thread, someone mentioned that the same happened in her quiz. It was below the threshold for number of students and questions. The exam did have Text (no question) as text headers. Is there an issue with Text (no question) preventing quiz statistics from displaying?

It seems the easiest way to add student groups to a shared Google Doc is with Collaborations. The instructor wants the doc to be a graded assignment. Can students upload the Collaboration doc in a group assignment set for file upload? Do both the teacher and TA roles have access to all the Collaboration docs. If students cannot attach the collaboration in the group assignment, the TA will need to view the docs through Collaborations.

Why do some files display the magnifying glass and others the download arrow ? From what I see they are both using the same html code: <a class="instructure_file_link instructure_scribd_file" title="fs_midterm.pdf" href="/courses/68569/files/21023485/download?wrap=1"> <a class="instructure_file_link instructure_scribd_file" title="Key Equations.pdf" href="/courses/7980/files/16680801/download?wrap=1">

On February 20th and 21st I corrected a exam question in the Blueprint course. I synced the course with the children. The exam is locked for points and content. Today, the 24th, an instructor emails me that students got the question I had corrected last week. I looked in his and another instructor's courses and the exam has the corrected question. SpeedGrader shows the students today got the old version of the question. Why did the students get the incorrect version while the exam preview shows the correct version? Another instructor who also has a child site gave the exam today, and his students got the updated question.

If a student submits a quiz after the due date, the score is entered into the grade book. Blackboard required the instructor to manually accept the score. Would like the option for an instructor to accept the points for late quizzes. A lot of our instructors are not experts with Canvas and do not know that submissions are late. Because Canvas enters a late submission's points into the grade book, students doing late work are getting full credit.

Thanks James. My department frequently uses your spreadsheet. Is it possible to add a columns for the point value and setting "Do not count this assignment towards the final grade"? We support a large school in a university. Many instructors use existing course but do not want some assignments to count toward the grade. Currently you have to edit each assignment individually.
