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…
Hi Canvas Community, I'd love to gather support for an enhancement to Canvas Discussions that I believe would make a significant difference to institutions using discussion forums for ongoing learning, collaboration and professional engagement: paginated discussion forums. 💡 What are paginated discussion forums? Currently,…

Is anyone other than me really bothered by the big red dots that appear in front of students' names if they haven't submitted the assignment? I find them really distracting, and my first instinct is to think that they mean I need to check on something with that student. It's like a stoplight, and personally, I don't find…
Is there a way to blur or add sotck background in video recordings>
Why are canvas MODULES and LEARNING MASTERY GRADING loading so much more slowly now? It takes FOREVER for things to load and is a huge time suck for me. This new update has increased my work time in canvas by 2 or 3 times, easily.
Does Canvas still have the feature that allows us (instructors) to make suggestions for Canvas improvements? If it's there, I sure can't find it……………
Where did the "alignments" tab go in Outcomes in Canvas? I used to be able to go to outcomes and quickly determine what assignments were aligned to a particular outcome. I do not see that with the new update. Am I supposed to go back to every single assignment individually now? Way too time consuming. Bring the alignments…
Over the past few years, our district has been navigating life with both Classic Quizzes and New Quizzes (since June 2022). While New Quizzes brought some really exciting new features, there were also a few bumps along the road—so we intentionally took a cautious, steady approach. The good news? Things have come a long…

Last year, I could print out an entire discussion thread using the browser print function. That no longer works. Is there a work-around? Or has Canvas removed that function?
Am I missing it, or is there no direct path back to the Edit page of a New Quiz from the Build page of the New Quiz other than to wait for the Return button to reload the entire Modules page? In my case, there are only 175 items in the modules page and reloading takes annoying long. Some symmetry would be appreciated —…

Hi All, I am an LMS admin at my institution (higher ed college, ~12k enrollment), which is new to Canvas, transitioning from Blackbaord Learn. As part of our contract we chose to purchase Intelligent Insights, hoping it would solve a variety of reporting needs. However, as my post title implies, we are finding that…
I ran a course accessibility audit, and it kept flagging a color contrast issue that WCAG noted was AA and AAA compliant - #ffffff against #751a1a. Wondering if I was missing something like an <style> or <div> tag, I asked the IgniteAI Agent to verify and it came back with the following response. Sharing with my team, as…

Hello everyone! Thank you for joining us at yesterday's Impact User Group meeting. Here is the link to the slide deck as well as the as the recording: Slides Recording Passcode: 2?=ub*!D Also, here are some quick tips for guides and segments in Impact: To ensure guides don't appear on assessment pages/during assessments,…
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…
This is incredibly frustrating. I use a rubric with imported outcomes to grade my assignments. Each problem is mapped to an outcome, scored on a scale with 4 tiers (the upper 2 tiers granting mastery). For a few of my students—not all—grading a new assignment deletes their earned mastery on an earlier, unrelated…
