I need to set up a Google Assignment LTI 1.3 assignment but need to add a Canvas rubric, not the one listed in the assignment overlay. Has anyone accomplished this? I was excited with I saw the LTI option but in testing the process does not seem to b...

The August 26, 2021 SIS Integration Release Notes reference the category sync feature. There is a line in the release note indicating that this feature is on by default. Does anyone know how we could turn this feature off?

Hi, I have been using New Quizzes to create and conduct quizzes in my course. Is there a way I can 'LOCK' a quiz? Meaning, even though a quiz is published and students could see the quiz title, they would not be able to access and take the quiz. Th...

I use New Quizzes to design quizzes for my course. I like the ability to add questions to Item Banks at the end of the semester and choose questions from the Bank. I have noticed that I can view/edit Item Bank created by other faculty members. How...

Hello, Canvas Community. I created a handful of Discussion boards for students, but, in one of them, the "Subscribe" button is not present. See the attached image "No Subscribe" compared to another discussion (attached image "Subscribe"). Is there a ...

I often have assignments that are more than one page long. Is there a way to have page one and page two both show up in speed grader side by side instead of having to go over and scroll to the bottom of every single assignment? There is plenty of r...

We suggest that our learners periodically check their grades from the Grades page. When they find that an assignment is incomplete/ungraded, they often try to enter the assignment from the link on the Grades page. However, in doing so, the assignment...

How can we view the number of discussion posts and replies for students? I've looked in New Analytics, but it doesn't tell you how many times a student posted or replied to a discussion topic. It also doesn't tell you how many times they replied to o...

Hi! We read about Course templates and we would like to use this option but it remains unclickable even if we removed all enrollments and we went into the settings of the course as an Admin. We checked the permissions to ensure this was not the probl...

In the old quiz feature, I was able to change the total points value for a single question to .5 instead of 1. I do not see this option in the new quizzes. Every time I try to change the points value to a decimal, it is defaulting to a whole number (...

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...

I want to take a homework assignment, quiz, or other content from a course I taught in previous semester, copy it into my current semester course, modify it, and then publish it when I'm ready. However, anytime I copy something that had been publishe...

I can see this question has been asked a lot in the community but it seems many of the replies contain links to documents that seem, to me at least, rather opaque. In almost every article on the subject it states "Canvas does not support file uploads...

My students submitted an essay on the google doc external tool. When I click into the assignment there is not a "download submissions" button. It is not there in the grade book either. I noticed it is there for the assignments that they upload a pi...

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...

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...

(I'm using Canvas in laptop) I don't know how to report a bug but I think I found a bug in file submission. I accidentally click the submit assignment button without attaching the file first, so canvas notified me that it can't pass an empty submissi...

Lately the updates made to Canvas haven't been great. If I am regrading an assignment I want to see all previous comments - I don't want to have to click on the previous version to see older comments. Having each item in To Do open in a new tab is bi...

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...
