front page home pages recent announcements
Last semester, I set my Home/Front Page to have recent announcements displayed. I followed the instructions in the Canvas guide and it worked flawlessly (i.e., click Settings, scroll down to More Options, select "show recent announcements on Course home page.")
Now it's the summer term. I copied my Spring course in Canvas and started preparing for the class. I noticed the recent announcements were no longer shown, so I went into the settings and made sure I followed the Canvas guide instructions again (settings - more options - show recent announcements...). I double-checked that the appropriate Front Page was selected, and that I had selected that Front Page as the Home Page as well. It is still not working.
Any ideas for what went wrong? I've attached a couple of screen shots to show the most relevant settings.
Hello Amy Himsel...
I was able to spend some time chatting with someone from the Canvas Help Desk as well as do some of my own testing. In short, this appears to be a bug which will be escalated to Canvas engineers. The technician and I were both able to replicate the issue that you are experiencing...where after a course import, the recent announcements are not appearing on your course "Home" page as intended (even though they showed in the same area of the previous course). The technician's response was, "Bug indeed (to my knowledge). So I believe the best solution would be to delay the posting in order to 'set' a date for the announcements." The case number to reference is 02126775.
Hope this helps, Amy!
