we have 2 semesters ( 2 grading periods),  and we have weighted groups  of assignments. We would like to have it drop the lowest assignment from a group for each semester ( one per semester) does the drop rule handle that or is it going to drop one q...

The new update to the Canvas Inbox has some issues. While it is easier to scroll through your courses, there doesn't seem to be a way to click on your Favorites, it is just one big long list depending on how long you have taught. Also, all formatting...

This is my first time posting here. For the past few years I have used the Discussion Count spreadsheet developed by James as a (very big) help for assessing student participation. But now, one frustrating week later, I can't seem to get it to work. ...

CANVAS gradebook comes with a way to do an automatic grade reduction, but it cannot reflect my existing policies. I generally use grade reduction policies at the rate of 1 or 2 weeks. For instance, in one class, the policy is that you can turn in an ...

In my classes, grades are determined by a student's total points. For instance, an A is 1000 points. The percentage of possible points does not matter. You can have 1000 out of 1000 or 1000 out of 4000. It's the 1000 that matters. This means that the...

I have always been able to hit 'Download' within my Canvas file folders and my power points would download and be ready to go. This week in class I followed my usual 'routine' and when I hit 'Download' it took me to the 'Save a folder' and I had to r...

Grade book allows you to message all students who don't turn in assignments at the same time. Reaching out makexender s students feel seen. I get way more replies to those messages than anything else. omegle

Hi there, I changed the due date of a homework assignment  for three students who passed the deadline. But, now I can only see those three submissions-the submissions from all other students are gone. I wonder if I could get them back.   Thanks!   Ec...

Greetings everyone!Our campus is migrating to Canvas for the upcoming semester and I'm working on some of the different ways to layout a course.  My question is specific to modules and pages.I have seen course modules that become extremely cluttered ...

I started creating assignments using the Student Annotation on a PDF instead of a file upload because my students "accidentally" submit the wrong assignment but when they add a textbox you can't manipulate the textbox so that it fits where you want i...

What is the motivation for Canvas' hostile take-over of what should beinstructors' choices? Man should decide over machine, not the other way around.Canvas does not respect that rule. It should be an instructor'schoice to use a calendar or not, to us...

I imported an old Canvas course into a current one. In creating a new assignment, I opened one of the old imported assignments in edit mode, copied the content, and pasted the content into the new assignment. My Canvas tabs promptly froze. I could no...

Not sure when this happened, but the iPad Canvas Teacher app no longer differentiates between finger and apple pencil inputs. Both draw lines on the screen and I can't find an option to change anything. 

Currently, to "Reassign" an assignment, that assignment must be set to allow multiple submissions from students.  This becomes an issue because students can continually submit work that has already been accepted and graded.  The "reassign" function s...

I need students to submit both documents and a Studio file to an assignment. Is there a way for the student to be able to submit both at the same time, or is there a way for the student to see both submissions instead of only the latest one?
