We have been experiencing an issue since Thursday 15 October 2026 on Canvas where users are reporting the following error when trying to access SCORM content: MissingKey: Missing Key-Pair-Id query parameter or cookie value This issue first affected our admin accounts which we were able to fix by allowing third-party…

We just wrapped our October New & Next Showcase, with plenty to recap. If you couldn't join live, or want a second look at the details, this post is for you. Three New & Next Showcases in, and we have to say, we’re thrilled with what we've built. The first two centered on primary updates–first, IgniteAI feature…

With it being a new semester, something I have been working hard to prioritize is my organization and productivity to ensure I have a successful semester. Something new I came across at the start of this semester was the customizable Canvas dashboard! If your school has it enabled, all you need to do is click on the…
AI tools have gotten remarkably capable, and yet most of them still behave like an exceptional teaching assistant on their first morning - eager, motivated but missing context on the why of most decisions and processes. They don’t understand how the courses are structured, what your students are working on, or what your…
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 community exists, and that there were in…
Canvas deploys contain code changes that are intended to fix bugs, improve performance, and prepare for new features. These deploys take place every two weeks and can be tested in the beta environment before the production deploy date indicated in the title of this document. New to deploy notes?

My team is currently going through the different LTIs/APIs we have installed in our Canvas instance and making sure we have a full list of what permissions each one has, what information it gives/receives, etc. However, the list of LTIs/APIs is contradictory - the new Apps page has a Monitor tab which lists launches of…
Hi! I am currently applying to Instructional Designer roles at higher ed institutions, many of which utilize Canvas. I have moderate experience designing and developing courses in Canvas, but I am wondering: What Canvas skills do you think separate a beginner from someone who’s really fluent in it? Any tips would be…
Hello! Is the grader working? I don't see it as an option in my Canvas. Thanks, Nedra
My Canvas Lite teacher account is working, but my students' accounts are not. They are able to setup their accounts using the course activation code, and initially that works fine (including receiving the initial registration email). However, once they log-out from their initial login, they are not able to log back in…
It would be great if Instructure would support Studio with some official videos, especially some dedicated to using the editor. It's somehow ironic that a product that ostensibly records video has no video documentation, leading to a predictable array of YT videos of various quality by various ed-tech, um, "influencers"…

A student signed in to my Canvas class two weeks ago. I could see his user name listed as a student who was signed in. Today, he tried to use the same user name but Canvas would not recognize. He had to develop a new user name and password to sign in. Now he is listed twice. I had this with a student signing in with three…
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 would like to return essays to students with our comments first, and post the grade only after each student has read the comments and written a sentence or two back. For essays where my comments are all in the Google Doc, this works: I return the doc without a grade, and enter the grade later. The trouble comes when the…
We are trying to determine a process for removing inactive users in Canvas. What are other schools doing? Do you delete inactive users after a certain time of inactivity?
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…
We have a teacher who, when trying to add discussions to a module, cannot see all of them. One of my theories is that there are too many discussions in the course, as there are over 400, and that the pop-up window can only display a limited number at a time. This is just a theory, though. This is a blueprint course, and we…
Join us for the next installment of our New & Next Showcase, where we'll give an update on our work to create the future of Canvas. You’ll see the progress we’ve made redesigning top Canvas workflows, and the new, more modern interface surrounding them. We'll also share how our Parchment teams are evolving to support…
As lifelong learning, modular study and micro-credentials continue to grow, universities are increasingly being asked to demonstrate the real-world value of learning. Yet many of the skills students develop—such as teamwork, communication and critical thinking—remain difficult to articulate and verify. Across the UK and…

Across the UK and EMEA, universities are rethinking how learning is delivered. From England’s Lifelong Learning Entitlement (LLE) to the growth of micro-credentials and professional learning across Europe, institutions are expanding beyond traditional degree programmes to support learners throughout their careers.
