We have enrollment of transfer students into our online school through the semester course. We are needing to support removal of content in modules, modules, and assignments so that students can start where they left off in person (with adjusted transfer grades/assignments). We can EX- excuse them in gradebook, but it…

Hi all, I'm looking for some feedback on a possible change at our K-12 institution. Currently, we create separate classes for our year levels and subjects, for example, we have 6 Year 8 English classes, who are all associated to one Year 8 English Blueprint. We're tossing up whether it could be better for us to create one…
The assignments have the correct scores but display with the symbol saying they're waiting to be graded. The quizzes dop have short answer parts I have graded by a TA but they have shown the scores there in the past without needing to grade them manually in speed grader. Is there a fix for this to just make that symbol go…
A student has forgotten their password. They can not log in. They click "forgotten password" but does not recieve a link via email. What can I do as a teacher ? I dont know their password and I can not find anywhere in the guides on what t Lynz do. Thanks
Under Gradebook Settings —> Late Policies I have "Automatically apply grade for missing submissions" set to 50. Based on what I have read, New Quizzes does not automatically apply this grade, even when enabled, on any quizzes where multiple attempts are accepted. What is the point of this feature? Can this be changed?…
Having this issue today where i'm trying to add multiple students to a class, i've not had trouble today with other students. When i select "+ People" then add their email address in and hit "Next" it says, "We were unable to find matches below", and when hitting next again it says "No users were selected to add to the…

When I include an email address and click "next", it doesn't let me add a name like it did for "Free for Teachers". The "Add Users" button is greyed out. Do they have to create an account fist now? If so, can we send them an email invite to do that?

I used to be able to quickly see, at a glance, what assignments were ungraded in SpeedGrader because they had a little orange dot next to them. I would also easily be able to skip over the unsubmitted ones. But now… What's up with this? Who approved this change? I don't like it. They could have added the written labels…
Previously, when students turned in an assignment, there would be an orange dot next to their name and nothing next to students who have not turned it in. Now there is a red dot next to every person's name and I have to read the description to see if they have turned it in or not. Anyone else seeing this? Can I change it…
Hello, I am trying to require Lockdown Browser for a 'NEW' quiz, but it is not saving. Instead I get an endlessly spinning "Please Wait" wheel (Lower Left of pic). Is anyone else experiencing this/have a solution? Thanks!
I use the New Quiz more and more, and I'm generally happy with it. The moderation page, however, is a real step backward for its core purpose: moderating a live exam. When you moderate an exam, you want to know at a glance where each of your students is, and — if you grant extra time — when the test is now likely to be…

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? Other than adding tax into the course enrollment fee, does anyone have a working solution between Catalog and TouchNet Marketplace to collect tax for taxable online…
I have now had a few cases of students' responses in New Quizzes not being recorded. Normally, students get a connection error and can restart, but here they get new questions one at a time with no indication of a problem until they try to submit the exam and find that they can't submit it. Students are losing 20-90% of…
We assign coursework by section, and teachers enter the transfer grades on each assignment from before the student’s enrollment date. However, those grades do not satisfy the modules’ “Submit the assignment” requirements. Students still have to go back to the beginning of the school year and submit blank documents and…
A Discussion assignment needs to be able to have more than 2 due dates. A discussion is just that--a back and forth. To be an effective kind of assignment, Instructure needs to modify them so they can have 3 or more due dates. Students also need to be notified when someone posts within their group. Currently, students turn…
