sorry. I've figured it out. I didn't have the external tool attached to the assignment. all is well--the report is showing.

currently, my students are unable to view any attendance reports as shown in the images above. Is it broken? Is it changed and no longer a thing? I take attendance using roll call attendance, but no matter where the students clicks, there is no report available. All they can see are the assignment details, if any, for the attendance assignment. any advice? Alf

I have a course with multiples sections; course and term dates have elapsed, but one section is still active according to dates set for that section. no problem so far--the students in that section still have access and can submit assignments. The problem is that the course no longer appears on the instructor's dashboard and submissions do not appear in the instructor's to-do list. This is a problem. I tried to "favorite" the course to place it back on the dashboard, but that doesn't work because according to course/term date, the course is not active and you can only place active courses on the dashboard. But according to section dates, the course is actually active. So... any advice? I would consider this a bug. Alf

I suggest taking the "default due time" away from the course settings page, place it on the edit-assignment-dates page (the bulk page), where it should be, and then make that page deal with it properly.

ajdeeley · ‎06-20-2022

it is still an issue. with a significant number of due dates, using the bulk editor is great, except it turns out that if I want a different time of day set, then I have to go and edit each one on its own anyway because the bulk editor saves the course default no matter what. This is very frustrating.

hmmm.. the score per item is attached to the item and requires that the item display if you want the score to display. This seems reasonable to me. If the student can't see the question, showing them that it is correct or incorrect seems useless. Let me explain. If you have 1 or two questions only, then what you propose seems ok, but if you have 20 or 100 questions, revealing which ones were correct and incorrect without revealing the question itself leaves the student trying to remember the question in order to make adjustments to their thinking--the student can't be expected to remember the question without seeing it and then make adjustments accordingly. 2 cents.

If your home page is in a module, it should have the previous/next buttons available to it no matter. As a course landing page in a course making use of the modules to move a student through content, it should MOVE them through the content. The student shouldn't have to search or be instructed to click here then click here then here again. And the instructor shouldn't have to figure how to build another link that should already be there. If the page is in a module, the previous/next buttons are available to it no matter how you find the page, except for when it is the course landing page. 😮

On the enhanced assignment submission page: If I've restricted submission types to only allow pdf's, why would webcam and studio still display to the student as options--you know, in that line of buttons along with dropbox, files, etc.? alf

recently some default style has been added to some links that I have created in a number of pages across all my courses. it is as follows: class="instructure_file_link inline_disabled". So be it, but it adds a download icon after all of those links, which are not meant to be downloaded--they're just links to other pages in Canvas. Any idea why this was added? Updates to the link options in the RCE perhaps? It has messed up my already styled pages. So how do I have this changed without having to edit every link on every page? Just a silly thing to add an image by default when you don't know where it's going to land. Thanks

recently, last couple days, the teacher app has started sending me notifications though I haven't changed anything. it's ok, except that for a single event I will receive no less than 19 notifications. It builds up very quickly. My question is, What's up?! Alf

ajdeeley · ‎11-07-2020

Turns out that it did work. I had changed the setting for safari rather than the app. All is well. Good work finding that solution.

ajdeeley · ‎11-07-2020

That cross site thing didn’t work for me. Not for iPhone, iPad, not for student or teacher app.

ajdeeley · ‎10-22-2020

quick update.. the images show up if I'm looking at them from within the files section, but if I look at any of the pages that utilize them, then they don't appear.

I'm trying to set a word count requirement for an essay question in new quizzes, but new quizzes can't count. In what world does a single character followed by a space count as one word?? If I type A through J, that equals 10 words according to new quizzes. Should not one word count 5 characters or has it been that long since typing school? Is there a way to adjust the default character count in the "word" count feature?

ajdeeley · ‎10-20-2020

this started happening again just recently. Images show up in a browser without issue, but not in the mobile apps. I haven't found a solution.

ajdeeley · ‎09-25-2020

don't "copy" to the module. you should be selecting the + button on the module to add the quiz to your module. when you copy it to the same course, you are going to see these kind of problems. the copy option works as expected when you copy to a different course.

ajdeeley · ‎07-28-2020

after four years for this and still no action?! your voting system is deeply flawed.

ajdeeley · ‎07-11-2020

my 2 cents if you haven't figured this one out yet. Currently in canvas, there is a way to easily remove that little arrow icon. Having built the link in the RCE, look at the html behind the link and adjust the <a href="...">link text</a> adding this bit as follows: <a class="external" href="...">link text</a> make sense? adding that class="external" definition to the link effectively hides/removes the arrow icon. Seems that whoever wrote the global CSS didn't like the arrows as well.

While creating a journal assignment, for example, I would like to assign the journal to a student/section and make it due weekly. So I add a due date for the first week and select "everyone" from the "for" drop down. I go to add another due date, but "everyone" is now missing from the "for" drop down because it has already been used. Option #1 (preferred): I would like to see all the same students/sections listed in the "for" drop down every time I add a due date. Option #2: Offer an option to make the initial date recurring (weekly/monthly/etc.) for the initially selected "everyone." I see the request for multiple due dates for discussions, but didn't want single assignments due multiple times to miss out on this. Thanks, Alford
