The view was display across the page. Now it is lined up left, this makes it difficult to read because all of the students are listed first, then the groups. Moving names within the groups is especially difficult now with this view. If someone thought this looks better, then they obviously do not actually use Canvas.…

By November, the academic calendar reaches a familiar sprint. Midterms are in the rearview mirror, finals are looming, and both educators and students are running on grit and caffeine. At this point in the semester, none of us have the bandwidth to learn a brand-new, complex tool. What we actually need are reliable…
I'm trying to add captions to my images in Canvas, and just can't get them to sit where I want. I'm using the method described in the post linked below, but the problem is that the caption defaults to sitting above the image, rather than below. In a test environment on w3schools.com, I can add "caption-side: bottom;" to…
Hello - We have an issue where anytime a professor does a manual Relink of assignments or a Resync of Grades via the McGraw Hill Connect, it causes on overwrite in Canvas to assignments that have been configured (in Canvas) to be non-graded. Apparently the McGraw Hill rep indicated that there should be an option within the…
I TA a course with three other TAs and 56 students. The course posts grades manually, and for each assignment we divide the students among the four of us. In October we finished grading a homework on the 2nd. The grades went out on the 8th, after a student emailed the instructor to ask where theirs was. Each of us had…
I would like to add a teacher to a course that I set up. She has registered as a teacher on Canvas Lite and has been verified. I sent her the course code, but that didn't work for her. I also tried adding her to the course using the email
We have previously used the free-for-teacher version, and throughout the shut down we were never notified of any windows to export or regain our large amount of time and data that we spent on courses from our old account. We are fairly frustrated to find out today that this forum
Question from instructor: I’m reviewing my student’s recent test results there are a couple questions I’d like to answer: Am I allowing enough time? Too much time? Do students who take longer score better? The “Moderate Quiz” view isn’t particularly helpful… * Which students – if any – “timed out” and had their test…
Hi, I'm a former Free-for-Teacher user and I need help recovering my content. My account hosted my organization's entire professional training program — many hours of material that we actively depend on. Unfortunately, I was not able to export my courses during the May 28–29 restoration window, and Canvas Support has told…

Hi, does anyone have students that use or have used Apple VoiceOver as their primary screen reader? If so, what are your thoughts on this tool? Does it have any issues reading Canvas pages? We have a student who is using it and they are saying that they cannot navigate Canvas with it. The student does not want to use…
When uploading Storyline 360 files to Canvas. Most upload fine (the export options are now: SCORM 1.2, SCORM 2024, AICC, XAPiand cmi5, and next zip the file. I create a folder in the FILES section of Canvas and upload, expanding the zip file. I then link the story.html file to a Canvas module), but the latest one uploaded…
Has anyone successfully synced courses from Banner to a Canvas subaccount using Ellucian ILP? We are currently using Banner as our SIS and are trying to configure course-level subaccount assignments.
I haven't been able to find anything specific about exporting a Canvas Career course. My question is about format: when I export the course through Canvas Academic (there's nothing I saw in Career itself for export), it only exports an HTML/JS zip package. Is that the only option? @canvassupport1 or anyone?

It would be helpful to see at least part of an essay submitted by students as I'm making my audio comments. Now, though, the modal box takes up most of the screen real estate in Speed Grader preventing me from quoting from what the student has submitted. Could it be smaller if one is choosing audio comments (rather than…
My iSpring lectures (in HTML5) were imported into the new Canvas Lite. They play well, but the audio (mp3) is intermittent. In trying to correct this behavior, I cannot successfully re-upload these files. How is everyone else uploading these types of lecture videos?
Hello Canvas Community! Does anyone utilize TouchNet as their payment system for Canvas Catalog courses? And if so, does anyone implement a Marketplace uStore?
