Why do I get this when I try to view the quiz statistics for a quiz?

CatherineDavids · 2024-11-21

Our site has noticed that if we download students submitted work that they have completed using annotations, only the free drawing annotations show. If they have typed onto the document (in annotations), they dissapear when we go to print. Any ideas ...

Hi,I find the categorization questions really helpful in my assignments - but they seem to only be all or nothing with the points for credit. Is there a way to assign partial credit to them?

Hi HiveMind™, Just a note... we recently came across an incredibly interesting discovery in Canvas related to sorting student's last names. Call me crazy... but this doesn't seem right... For a list of students that includes the following names: Jo...

ShaDowOak · 2024-11-20

Much like a website has a plugin to register when a 360 image is loaded, it shows the true 360 view vs a thumbnail. Does Canvas have anything similar to allow for 360 images to work when loaded into the course?
