Canvas • Releases and Deploys Paused
From August 18 through October 6, we're slowing down code deploys and releases for Canvas. Fewer changes during your busiest weeks means your team can focus on helping students and educators start the term strong.
Exporting the Gradbook History page would be extremely useful. Currently the only way to do this is by Print to Page, which isn't useful in a csv workflow. Thanks.
I'm a 27-year veteran high school science teacher who has used Canvas for 15+ years. I've preserved my courses and have been waiting for the new individual educator solution. I understand that Instructure has said it is working on a more secure solution and that it is expected this fall. However, I now need to decide…
I am literally stuck on how I get a friend to invite?❓️❓️❓️❓️❓️
Hello! I have created a Canvas quiz where students have two attempts. I want them to be able to identify what questions they answered correctly and incorrectly following the first attempt so they know what to review before taking their second attempt. Therefore, I would like to set it up to where all of the correct answers…
How do I remove multiple students from a course?
How do I get to the rich content editor to make a video to post for a discussion within the class?
Our district has a max score students can earn when they re-assess on something (like a quiz). Does Canvas have any settings to set that max score to allow kids to retake a quiz and not have the teacher go in and manually change the kids raw score to the max amount they are allowed?
I have faculty wanting to use Roll Call Attendance. It is apparently an external app though I'm not familiar with it. How do I install this app? I find this answer already: "an external app (LTI) used for taking attendance in Canvas courses. The Attendance tool can be used for online or face-to-face courses. Enabled at the…
I would like to learn how to interact with my fellow classmates and instructirs as far as sending in my biography or introducing myself to the students. I'm not versed in this type of technology so I will need lots of assistance moving forward. Thank you
We currently use ExamSoft for secure exam taking but we are looking to replace it. I was wondering what application some of you use for secure exam taking? Thank you
I am responsible for several sections of a course that all need to be consistent with each other. As such, I'd like to have a common repository of files that all sections can link to easily, and if those files need updating I only have to update them once in the common repository rather than having to update each course…
Exactly like this user: I have marked each question as "Check" and clicked Update. Under "Assessment" the Grade is still 0/0 and the dropdown is greyed out. I want to be able to mark each assignment as Complete in SpeedGrader, ideally without having a point system.
To our Free-for-Teacher users, The Canvas Free-for-Teacher program is a product offering we have had since the beginning of our company.

"Copy To" a current course has unexplicably quit working altogether for me. "Send to" (myself) and then adding to current course doesn't work either. They just don't show up in the new course. I've also tried "Duplicating" the quiz (which makes quiz-copy in old course) and then copying to or sending to new course,…
Hello everyone, I need to find a way to download all of my course files and media to my computer for offline use. Previously, I used access tokens to run an application for downloading the files, but my school has recently removed that feature. Can anyone suggest another efficient way for me to obtain all these files…
I am the Course Administrator for our schools Canvas course. During a Digital Coaching Session - a staff member made a quiz, published it, checked it worked in Student View and then the following day whilst having students attempt the quiz the error message "There is a problem with this assessment. Please contact your…
I am not sure if this has been suggested by others, but I'd love to seen an option in the automation set-up for post-enrollment nudges to choose how many days before the start of a course to automatically send a personalized email. Currently the trigger is set by completion threshold and days after enrollment. I'd love to…
Hi everyone We recently deployed the new Microsoft LTI in Canvas and have started using the option to create Microsoft Education assignments directly from Canvas. So far, the setup has been very easy and user-friendly. Unfortunately, we've run into a problem: when we try to change the due date of an assignment after it has…
I'm testing whether Mastery Paths can be used to give students early access to an item based on their score, while making the same item available to everyone else on a later date. Here is my setup: A 4-point assignment is the source for the Mastery Path. Students scoring 75–100% are assigned a Solutions item. The Solutions…
Can anyone tell me if there was a recording of the Impact User Group meeting? I missed it and would really have liked to know what was going on. Thanks in advance for any help!
I am a physics teacher at a high school. I love to use the random generation of formula questions to give each student a unique quiz/test. However, units in physics are extremely important. In the past I have also used Moodle as an LMS and they included a feature that could grade the units listed after the numerical…
Faculty are wondering if they can make individual motifications from the Gradebook setting rather than having to go to the Discussions themselves to open up and recompute scores. We find where it adjusts for all students in mass but it would be nice to have that feature independently as faculty go to Gradebook to get an…
Hello - Can anyone give some insight on when the new platform will be published? I have had to use Google Classroom for my clinical program over the summer and it is not working well. I really miss my Canvas access! Any tentative date will help! Thank you!
