I have had this issue, despite entering their grades as A, B, C etc. Does anyone know how I can fix this so students receive correct grades?
I'm taking a medical coding course. I'm using "reading mode." Every time the text comes to the abbreviation for "doctor" — DR — reading mode reads DR as DRIVE unless DR is at the beginning of a sentence or directly after a comma. It's really annoying and disconcerting. Is there any way that reading mode for "DR" in a…
Hello everyone! I'm currently setting up Canvas Lite for my healthcare training academy and am having trouble figuring out how to add students to my course. I'm an instructor and manage my own training program. I've been exploring Canvas Lite but haven't been able to find a clear way to manually enroll students. I have a…
We have been using the class="enhanceable_content tabs" to create a functional 'unit content' homepage for our courses. Overnight our tabs no longer work. As far as I can tell, it is due to that specific reference no longer finding what it's referencing. I dug through instructure's code and found they had based it on…
When we do the final assessment/calculation, it is only visible at the very top, which means one has to scroll up to see the student’s score. Personally, I override the pre-calculated scores often, and so I value being able to easily see the total scores. It would be even better if we could see a running calculation as we…
We are looking to the Portfolio option but I have a few things I am not sure of that would be crucial to be able to apply the way it is needed. One, can you have the portfolio follow the student through the entire program (five total semesters) seamlessly or is it just going to be one semester? We have a clinical portfolio…
Good morning community. I want to know how to merge courses in Canvas. We are migrating from Blackboard to Canvas. I would often get requests to merge courses in Blackboard. Is there a feature or setting that I need to successfully merge courses in Canvas?
O cadastro de alunos, não está funcionando, ao colocar o e-mail não aparecer a opção de cadastrar o nome do aluno pois aparece a informação direta que não foi possível localizar correspondência com o e-mail informado. Mudou a forma de cadastrar os alunos?
Is there a reasonably straightforward way to get a list of all missing assignments for a given student in the current term across all of their classes rather than within a single class? It's simple to do it within a given class by going to the table in Course Analytics and sorting by assignment status, but it would be…
It would be great to see the averages or any statistical information on the total columns in Canvas. As it is, we can only see averages after opening up the speed graded for individual assignments. Or that is all that I have found so far. I know we can download a CSV file but those are not interactive and kept up to date…
Is there a way for me to create a rubric that shows BOTH points and a letter grade, while the Gradebook in both my view and student view shows JUST points? I tried setting up the rubric showing a letter grade in the grading scheme, and a letter shows in the Assessment box…but then my gradebook also shows the letter grade,…
When a matching question is added to an item bank, there appears to be no way assign it default point. For example, adding matching type question with 5 questions to match. There is no way to weight that question as being worth 5 points. This is true whether working on the question in an item bank, or directly in a quiz.…
I'm supporting faculty with accessibility at my community college/broad access college. I'm a social scientist and have used LaTeX, but I haven't pushed the boundaries of the Canvas editor at all. Microsoft has recently improved its equation editor, and it provides lists of what it does and doesn't support, for MathML,…

I have a teacher who has 5 sections of Health. Out of all her students, 11 need to be graded pass/fail, while the rest do not. I have shown her how to grade assignments by grade scale for those 11 students, but cannot find a way to have their final grade show as P/F while everyone else gets the A-F type grade. Any ideas?…
As a Canvas and Catalog Admin, I have an instructor who never added module requirements to his course, and when the course concluded, the students' transcripts consequently show that the course is not complete. Is there a way to tell Catalog that those students successfully completed the course?
Just wanted to give an update that it appears they have fixed the issue with students not being asked for their email when they register using the link from the teacher's course (https://canvaslite.instructure.com/register). I am not sure what to do for my students who did not get asked for an email, but I'm thinking I may…
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…
When creating test items in MasteryConnect, is there any way to change the font? The only options I currently see are to change the size and changing the style. Changing the size would be nice, because leaving it default is too small. However, changing it to anything else but the default is a crap shoot as to what the…
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…

To the Canvas Lite Team, I am writing to express my serious concern regarding the maximum course participant limit in the new Canvas Lite, particularly the restriction that appears to allow only 50 users to join a single course. I am an Assistant Lecturer at the University of Dar es Salaam (UDSM), Tanzania, teaching Civil…
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…
