Dynamic variables within Canvas?

I was wondering if there are any variables we can work with in Canvas such as date, course title, student name, etc..

One thing we are doing is a static footer on every page with our copyright text. I was hoping we could change this to a dynamic date so we wouldn't have to go back and edit the copyright text on every page. Is anyone aware of environmental variables that can be utilized in our courses? Appreciate any assistance.

 @bsmaples , unfortunately, no, Canvas doesn't have any dynamic/environmental variables like this on  the front end of Canvas. You might be able to somehow program something like this on the back-end, but that goes above my level of expertise.
