This is a kludgy solution, but it works. Go into the course that has concluded and go into it's settings, change the term to Default Term, save the change, you will then be able to add the teacher to the course. Once the teacher is in the course, return the course back to the term it belongs in and save the change. You as the Canvas admin can make those changes. I hope this helps you.

Would using the feedback for the correct answer and incorrect answer meet your needs? So if the student answers the incorrect answer, you would put in the feedback for that specific answer to use the correct answer going forward.

I second her motion, most versions of Safari just don't "play" nice at all with Canvas. You can use Chrome or Firefox on Macs with minimal issues when accessing Canvas.

Also make sure that you are running the latest version of MacOS even for the Apple Silicon Macs (M1, M2, etc.).

Are you using Safari to access, Canvas? Safari doesn't play nice with Canvas, even though it is supported. If you must use Safari, you have to change the settings to allow cross-tracking cookies. You would be better off using Chrome or Firefox on any Mac.

If you hover over the check mark, it will tell you that you can't unpublish an assignment that has grades posted to it.

This I have also found at my institution that the questions have been published to sites such as Course Hero when using unprotected questions.

What one of my instructors has done at my institution, is that he locks the quiz until their assigned time and also locks the quiz with an access code, the students can bring in their own devices to take the quiz and he then provides the access code in person.

If you use Respondus Lockdown Browser, there is a setting you can enable for each quiz where it can be used on iPads. The students will still have to download the app from the App Store though. I can't vouch for what the competitors such as Honorlock do though.

You will need to put an end date on the section that you create as well.

ericwhitmer · ‎04-14-2023

At my institution, if there is a concluded course where a student who has received an incomplete, we make a separate section for the requested student and instructor with a section end date that meets that instructor's needs. It will become a read-only section after the end of the term date. You might have to also put the section in a different term to add the student to the section they need to complete and then put that course back to the correct term once you add the appropriate people.

The setting is called Prevent Cross-Site Tracking.

ericwhitmer · ‎03-20-2023

Safari has some of the strictest settings when it comes to displaying content from other platforms, you may need to go into the Safari settings to turn off the cross-tracking blockage that you are encountering.

Have you also tried clearing the cache? That can cause issues in Canvas from time to time regardless of the operating system.

ericwhitmer · ‎02-07-2023

I noticed that you are running MX Linux. Is it possible that you are running a slightly older version of MX Linux that might cause conflicts? I dabble in Linux distros from time to time and sometimes Canvas and Linux distros don't play well. Have you tried to replicate this issue on a Chrome based browser such as Chrome or Chromium?

ericwhitmer · ‎12-08-2022

If you have permissions as an instructor, you should be able to copy the course forward with the links intact. There won't be a need to retrieve a new link unless the original link becomes a dead link.

You should be able to open the respective documents in Apple's iWork suite (Pages, Numbers, Keynote). Pages is the Word processor, Numbers is for Excel documents, and Keynote are for PowerPoint presentations. The Microsoft Office suite is available for Macs though and you should be able to open with that if you have that installed on your Mac.

This is the official guide I was referring to: https://support.google.com/chrome/a/answer/6220366?hl=en

You are running a highly outdated version of ChromeOS, you will most definitely need to update it to at least version 105 in order for Canvas to run correctly. You will need to also check if your Chromebook will be able to update to that version. There is documentation out there that has a list of the lifecycles of various Chromebooks you will need to seek out to see if your specific Chromebook can even be updated.

That is correct, we have faculty who use Dell Latitude 2-in-1 computers and my faculty were calling me why they were seeing the prompt to install the Canvas Teacher app on their machine. Most of my faculty use these computers in a docked state with them closed on their desks.
