I have created 100+ Practice Quizzes (2 items each drawing randomly from larger pools) in my statistics class. These are organized into 8-10 Practice Quizzes for each module over the course of a semester. In Blackboard, I could create a Navigation li...

I'm a teacher with a passion for safety education, and I'm planning to launch a new course on my website focused on fire safety. The course will cover important topics like safe use of fireplaces, stoves, and other common household items that pose fi...

Here is a real conundrum. In courses that I created using the SIS Import, teachers are not able to remove students. Their role is a teacher but when they click on the dots in People, the drop down only shows: Prior to using SIS Import, staff made th...

Hi, I am receiving an error when I try to save an announcement that has been made available to all sections.  It says 'error updating discussion type' yet this is an announcement.  I am able to save it to specific sections without problem, just not a...

Hi! I am wondering as a course admin/instructor how to edit the URL of a page after it has been created. This page is part of a module. Thank you! 

I would love to use the shortcuts in Modules, specifically the indent. I am on a Mac and can't for the life of me figure out how to make it work. Anyone?

During my 3rd period Social Studies class today, my class opened their Canvas pages to view their online textbook from mcGraw-hill on their student Chromebook.  When the screen opened, only the math textbooks were showing on the screen, no Social Stu...

I have created a rubric with Criteria, ratings, and points.  I then created the assignment where students will submit the paper and added the rubric to the assignment.  As an instructor, I can see the details written in the ratings area which lists t...

Is there a way to display both points earned as well as the percentage in the grade book?

Why won't my Canvas update after I turn assignments in (specifically assignments that I need to complete in order to move onto the next module)?

I need to send an announcement to all the students in a class that already finished (basically a reminder to for them to pick up final projects). In the past I would just post an announcement at the beginning of the next term - however when I logged ...

It appears there was an update in July that when the preferred name settings were consolidated into one section, resulted in the checkbox settings not working the way they used to. In our testing, with "Users can edit their name" unchecked and "User...

We have numerous Course Blueprints which contain primarily Storyline-generated SCORM files in the learning modules. These blueprints then become the basis for our active sections. We have not had any issues in the past when copying these sections. As...

While we sync most students from our SIS (Anthology), inevitably there are a few students who need to be added manually for one reason or another. They show up as "pending" because they don't have access to Canvas right now. We have had a couple facu...

When creating announcements, I do not want my students to reply to them.  This was not a problem last semester but this semester, the Reply button continually shows.  I have unclicked the button that says "allow comments" and saved the announcement, ...

I'm needing to update and delete my current email on Canvas, as it's an old email will be delated in the next week so needs to be sorted asap.  I'm finding it really difficult. I've looked help and guides but they don't seem to solve the problem. Tha...

I have an unpublished course with three modules. When wanting to move an assignment from one module to another, this error message appears: Move item failed undefined is not an object (evaluating 'i[0].appendChild') This error occurs with all assignm...

Hi Looking at creating some formal quizzes, but it would be great if there was a way to detect if the students have switched from the quiz page to say Google to search for the answer, and if it does automatically close the attempt. We don't use any t...

I've been having an issue for a while (which wasn't always an issue) and wonder if anyone knows how to fix it. I used to use the arrow keys to navigate vertically and horizontally through the grade entry boxes. Going horizontally is still normal, but...

According to the instructor guide, I should be able to assign the "Submit" requirement to graded discussions, while I can assign the "Contribute" requirement to ungraded ones. However, in setting up my courses this year, the only requirement options ...

How can I integrate my school google calendar with the Canvas LTI 1,3? 

I have been requiring my students to do publisher's activities to reinforce the reading assignments in a intro level course. They do two a week and honestly - it seems like a lot. I would like to assign two a week for a total of 320 points but only r...

How can I export my student roster from Canvas?

Colleagues, the question is a little out of the ordinary, but does anyone have a copy of a recent Instructure After Action Report for an outage. I'm interested in the message format, not the details of the outage. I would like to adopt that format fo...

An instructor reported that SpeedGrader is randomly sorting students when selecting sort by student name.  When sorted the list of students (105) is apparently being segmented.  Those segments are alphabetized in reverse alphabetical order, but then ...

I've been using Canvas for five years. I can't seem to delete any prior rubrics. As the class names haven't changed, it is difficult to assign a rubric that doesn't come up as the second or third iteration of the same rubric, I have to look through a...

I noticed today in student view that my scheduled announcements all show the dates and times that I created them and edited them instead of showing the date and time the announcements went live for the students like they used to. Is that simply how m...

Hello, when I go to import course content into 2025 module, do I go into the 2024 module to import course content or the 2025 module? Thank you
