TLDR: Notebook expands to mobile apps with offline access, alongside improved search, organized views, bulk delete options, and downloadable exports for web users. Before Notebook, students took notes in external apps. They copied course materials out of Canvas and lost access to those notes when studying offline or on the…
I know without build on last attempt enabled, I can set it to take the average or the latest score, but that makes them re-take the entire quiz, including questions they got right, or if I use Item Banks, they may get totally different questions. I like build on last attempt, but I want their second go around to be worth…
The Problem: The recent changes to the Canvas Studio video embed interface have severely degraded user experience for both instructors and students. Instead of simplifying media integration, the new options add extra cognitive load, create unnecessary clicks for standard tasks, and introduce a grading flaw in course…
There should be a way to ignore a student's attempt without adding an extra attempt. I want to be able to ignore when the student uploads the wrong file, or starts a quiz and experiences a power outage. Adding an extra attempt isn't accurate and providing a grade and feedback, then reassigning is a slow process.
With the shift to Canvas Lite officially underway, moving your students over to new course spaces can take a little transition time. Here is a quick guide to getting your students enrolled and settled in smoothly so everyone can hit the ground running. Steps for Teachers Unlike in the former Free for Teacher Canvas…
One of the most valuable parts of building Canvas is learning directly from the people who use it every day. Earlier this year, we introduced the Canvas Collaborative Roadmap to create a more transparent, ongoing way for customers to share contributions, vote on roadmap cards, and help shape future investments. In just a…

Hello! I would like to request a feature. Grading quizzes takes such a long time because I either have to grade each assessment individually or wait for the page to reload every time I try to look at another students' work using the grade by question feature. On other programs, like Google Forms and DataLink, all of the…
I've searched the boards and found a few archived posts, so I hope someone has an update on this! We use multiple due dates on assignments to allow for accommodations and extenuating circumstances in our courses. However, even with a student being assigned a later due date, their grade is automatically penalized based on…
I have completed a course and earned a badge but its not showing up in my backpack
Cordial saludo Actualmente estamos presentando una inconsistencia en New Quizzes al momento de realizar la migración y posterior edición de las evaluaciones. Específicamente, al intentar modificar una pregunta y eliminar una de sus opciones de respuesta, el sistema no permite ejecutar dicha acción. Con el fin de descartar…
Hello! From our previous group's meeting, it was shared this community space can be for feature requests. But I wasn't sure if there was a specific sub-space for it. I'm wondering if this feature is already in development: when we create rules in the Visual Editor, we can really create only one. For example, if I want to…
Our institution is setting up 9 institutional outcomes in Canvas. Several of our outcomes have multiple skill sets within the rubric. For example: Critical Reading – Skill Set A Critical Reading – Skill Set B Critical Reading – Skill Set C Our understanding is that Canvas Outcomes data reports can provide the overall/total…
I am just curiousas to why there is not a field to enter a description for an outcome at the account level? Or at least edit the rating when you attach/link an account level outcome to a rubric. When you create a new criterion for a rubric, you enter a decription for a rating, but for an account level outcome.
We use a pre- post- model to measure learning which requires student-question matching from two time periods. This requires exporting quiz data to CSV to do the analysis properly. (I can get into more detail if needed.) The New Quizzes Student Analysis CSV export has repeated blocks of ItemID then columns related to that…
Hello! A caution to my fellow Admins and support folks that Instructure updated their live-chat link (the one in the "(?) Help" menu, if you license their Support Chat service) fairly recently, but the old broken one is still online and appears as if it still functions. If someone hits the old link, after entering their…
How do you make most of your decisions? When I make most of my decisions, I usually think about how the situation will turn out before I decide what to do. I try to look at the possible outcomes and think about what would happen depending on the choice I make. I don't always know exactly what the result will be, but I try…

As a K12 Canvas Admin and Technology Instructional Specialist, I am passionate about helping teachers simplify their workflow, make the most of their time,…
Education institutions have made significant progress in digital capability. Yet the presence of technology tells us surprisingly little about how well an institution will respond when conditions change. The Readiness Playbook defines readiness as an organisational capability: the ability to support learners and staff…

Ryan Lufkin and Jody Sailor sit down with Steven Olinger and Joe Godsey, faculty in the Business, Engineering, and Industrial Technology division at Southwest Virginia Community College to ask what it takes to introduce 14- to 17-year-olds with no experience to energy careers in a single summer. A grant of nearly $500,000…

With the busy start-of-year rush of new product requests winding down, October is the sweet spot to step back, reflect, and refine your district workflows. It’s also the ideal time to start building date-triggered workflows to prepare for budget season, helping you make data-driven decisions on which products to renew,…
