I'm having issues accessing my classes since I can't see anything on Canvas. Are you able to email me with help on this?

[RobertSpiser]

I was told i need to hit the advisory course tile, but i can not find it. Can anyone tell me where it is?

[Chelefulton]

My sons teachers are sending links for meetings using Microsoft. I do not have Microsoft set up on my desktop computer or my Android phone. What do I need to do to access these meetings?

[CanvasDocTeam]

@4723646892 it's difficult to know exactly why you can't see anything in Canvas without more detail. Are you able to log in and see your Dashboard? If you can't access courses on the dashboard, try clicking the Courses link and then click All Courses. If you still can't see anything, please contact our Canvas Support team (https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Student-Guide/How-do-I-get-help-with-Canvas-as-a-student/ta-p/498)

Thanks,

@RobertSpiser you may need to view all of your courses to see that particular course. Instructions on how to do that are here: https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-view-all-my-Canvas-courses-as-an-instru...

Let us know if you have any other questions.

Thanks,

@Chelefulton the meetings are probably for Microsoft Teams. You can learn more about Teams here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/microsoft-teams/group-chat-software

A good introduction to Canvas for a new user.

[akohler871]

I have logged into canvas both n the webpage and on the app and none of my classes have shown up even though my teachers have said t they have posted assignments. yes i have tried to ass courses but no courses pop up to be selected  

[Bobby2]

HI there @akohler871 

I'm wondering about the possibility that your course is hidden. Try clicking 'Courses' in the left hand global navigation menu. Then select 'All Courses'. 

A list of all courses you are enrolled in will appear there. If you colour in the star to the left of the title of the courses you want to appear on the Dashboard that might remedy your situation. 

Sing out if you need a hand.

There is no classes on Canvas for OMS 7th grade.

I registered on Friday.  How long does it take for the class to show on Canvas?  My class starts on Wednesday.

Hi, I am a new grad student, first time user of Canvas. Under my Dashboard > Courses it says "You are not enrolled in any courses" but under that it says Future enrollments and lists my class that starts next week. My professor had sent an email saying it would be available starting 9/1. Am I just too early and need to wait for it to become a "current class" or is there something else I need to do to view it? Thanks for your help!

This helped me work canvas because its new and I didn't know how to work it.

[mtmerriex]

I feel that getting used to a new website will be most difficult for me.

Good morning, my name is Dumorney Dumezan, I am taking a zoom class for four weeks. Since I started taking the class, I see everyone on cameras and I hear them but when I talk, they cannot hear me. Can you please help me solving that problem? Or another word, you can email me the details to solve that problem. My email address is: ddumorney@yahoo.com.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Thank you in advance,

Dumorney Dumezan

[Ediadema]

Seria legal se os vídeos fossem em português.
Ou que ao menos tivessem legendas em português.
Fica a dica.

[mariareyna]

[RyanDiBraccio]

I dislike canvas because teacher have so much control over you and the grading is wrong

[KhamlaChanthaba]

This video its show you how to use Canvas and its have everything for you on the Canvas for your course assignments and once you log onto the Canvas its will take you to the dashboard and the dashboard shows you, your courses and how to summit your assignment. This Canvas makes easy for us user.

What is on the Canvas Dashboard? 

The Dashboard page of Canvas displays information about all of your current courses. The Dashboard also has announcement of activity for all of your current courses. This also contains a to do list , upcoming assignments , and access to grades.

2) Where are you likely to see the latest announcements for a course?  Under the side bar: click recent activity.

3) How can you contact your instructor for the course within Canvas? The inbox link on side of canvas page.

Trying to watch Canvas overview videos within VPW Orientation and they are not available. Have already emailed my Geometry summer school teacher (Mrs. Houser).

[DanaCota]

Hi. I am trying to post to my classroom without having to use "Reply" to someone else's post to do so. I have viewed the tutorial and looked every place I could think of, but cannot locate the button/command to post. Can anyone help?
