We're adding new Instructure Live reminders, a redesigned home page for unauthenticated users, updates to our blog pages, and a new all guides page.

@grue1 As an administrator, you will have access to the SIS Import framework. An users CSV & enrollment CSV could be used to create these enrollments. But an alternative approach, which would allow you to reserve the SIS Import framework for informat...

Hi Wendy,  I think what you are asking is:  How do I make my Front Page become my Home Page. I'm copying and pasting below the steps I have in a document for staff in my district -- so it's a little out of context, but hopefully it's helpful! Step 2...

OP Here, we ended up going with a 3rd party add-on called grade guardian. It has been a GAME CHANGER

Is there way to un-submit a student's assessment? 

Here is a visual from a discussion that shows the smaller font.  

Problem statement: In the Discussion Redesign that will be enforced on July 20th, I have noticed that secondary replies appear in a smaller font than top level replies. I am concerned that the smaller font will make it more difficult to read, even f...

I know the request for a building level "Missing Assignments" report within Admin Analytics has been requested by multiple people. Additionally, there was a response that says this is available under the student reports; however, the Missing Assignme...

Just noticed Chris replied yesterday, my bad.

@ngbc Thanks for bringing up this research report! Canvas really needs to do something about this and implement randomized order as the default in SpeedGrader.

This may seem like a silly question, but I am fairly new.... I have a course created with modules.  I then created a front page, but when I go to that front page, it doesn't flow to the modules.  Do I need to create a "beginning" module to put the fr...

Hi Hildi, Thanks for your post. I'm new to Canvas and will be an admin when my school transitions to Canvas from Blackboard this fall. I need a way to batch-add new users to a course. These students will not be in our SIS, and I'll have about 500 use...

The discussion redesign is heading in the right direction. I have commented on other features elsewhere, but one I thought worth mentioning was the readability of the replies, especially when you have nested replies enabled. It makes it difficult to ...

@SamGarza1 There seem to be several blogs/posts where people are really concerned about how Anonymous discussions may play out.  I am fortunate to now work in higher-ed where rules and laws are very different but came from over a decade of being a K-...

@MPioRoda Thank you for the update.I noticed that the "API enhancements" feature for customizing "test-taking accommodations in New Quizzes" has been pushed back to "Q1 2025 and Beyond" on the Canvas Product Roadmap. This is disappointing since this ...

@SamGarza1 ,   This is a long meandering discussion and I haven't found the exact posts, but I recall that you hoped to address several Discussions Redesign shortcomings identified by community members before July 20.  One such issue was the missing ...

@KataKeri Finally available.

@KarlijnvanA  If you set the student access to end on August 15th and the course participation setting is set to "Term", then the course card should remain on the Dashboard until August 15th.  After August 15th it would be considered a "Past Course" ...

Hey @StephenBryant01 ,From what you're saying you are using FFT and want to implement Pearson / MyLab?If that's the case, yes, having a paid canvas instance would be required, as the only people with administrative permissions on free for teacher wou...

I have been waiting for this to happen since 2011. It has been promised numerous times over the past decade in various forms. PLEASE make it so!

Thank you for your reply.   Alas, we are a small, 501C3 organization.  We Canvas is a great tool that we use in instructing Basic EMTs, Advanced EMTs, and Paramedics.  We work very hard to make our classes affordable in order to facilitate as many st...

Hi @JamesSekcienski , thanks so much for this! I've been looking for the page you are referencing to, but never found it    Just 1 question remains, I think you might have answered it, but the meaning gets lost in translation for me:   The disappear...

@KataKeri I still dont see them.

Hi @jlhummel , In Canvas Credentials LTI 1.3, if you are still using the free version (like most of us), the only trigger option is Complete Item. And in this case the item is the module. For example, here the setup view showing the module and comple...

Hi @Helen24 , I'm in a similar predicament where we did switch to the Canvas Credentials LTI (.3) before realizing that we can no longer include the badge at the end of the module to "trigger the award" and so that students know they have earned the ...

Hi Chris   Alas, I have been on the phone with Tech support for both Canvas and Pearson for quite a while today.  You are correct, Pearson / MyLab worked with LTI 1.1, but with the adoption of LTI 1.3, a Developer Code has to be issued by the Canvas ...

This is not quite correct. You cannot actually remove the question from the quiz after it has been taken by the class... But you can give zero marks for the question and have it re-marked out of the new lower total score, which achieves the same thin...

In the Certificate I deliver, there are about 85 different assessments to be resulted in the Outcomes Report. The problem is that some of the might be grouped together (2 theory an 1 practical), while same others are split, making it very difficult t...
