I often want students to complete assignments that I can use as formative checks or as step one of a larger project. They are submitting something, so I can't choose "not graded" when setting up the assignment since this gets rid of the submission op...

Dear community, I am new to Canvas and its API.  As many others here, I would like to be able to disable and enable my users temporarily. AFAIK there is no direct API call for this so my idea is the following: - Search user by its SIS ID (which is id...

Is there any plan for Canvas to permit embedding of images in messages sent through the Inbox?  For some of the courses I teach my students and I exchange a lot of screenshots in our emails, and it's really convenient to be able to discuss an image w...

I am required to report student attendance weekly in hours and minutes. Is there a way to determine how much time a student actively engaged in Canvas on a specified day or week? It appears Canvas tracks in the same way a student who logs in but does...

Is there a way to engineer it so that a student cannot submit an assignment before another one is completed WITHOUT making them complete assignments in sequential order and WITHOUT hiding subsequent modules from them? I want my students to have to su...

We are noticing a behavior that, when adding enrollments to a course that is not synced with our Student Information System (say, a faculty development or cohort-specific internship class), we are unable to use the participant email address. Only the...

Is there any way you can update the teacher notifications to allow reposts for discussion boards to come in on our dashboards? When a student goes back in and edits (either an original post or a reply) after I have already graded it I am not notified...

I'd like to create sections with a quiz with instructions for each section (maybe a multiple choice section, followed by a T/F, etc.). How can I do this? I'd like each section to have its own set of instructions, and to be able to randomize item orde...

Our focus during the Canvas roll-out for the past few years has been on supporting the academic courses on Canvas. Enrolment and course creation is managed via SIS import.  We are now receiving more and more requests to use Canvas for non-academic co...

We have been testing adding email addresses using the Canvas API in our test environment.  I found that I'm unable to delete certain email addresses using the UI and acting as a user, even when the email address is not set as the default.  I don't ha...

I'm importing a course I had last year.  I uploaded it to the commons, to just me.  And then imported from commons to the new course.  But the default is to have every assignment and module published like it was at the end of the semester from the la...

Are there any plans to expand the options in the equation editor?  It does not contain nearly enough symbols and the insert fraction mechanism is awkward.   This feature should have at least the same options available as MathType or microsoft's equat...

I've created some new sub-accounts and added an existing Canvas user as Admin for each sub-account. When these sub-account admins go in and create a course from scratch, they always go into "Manually Created Courses." They do not have the option to c...

This afternoon a faculty member, myself, and a student all are getting this error when trying to use lockdown browser, all within the following systems:  the canvas app on ipad, the lockdown browser on Mac, the chrome browser on Mac, the canvas webpa...

I was wondering if anyone knows how to have this audio player only display the bottom part. I do not want the thing with a music note to display. I am including the code that this uses. <p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">&nbsp; &nbsp; <iframe style="...
