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!
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

Does anyone know a way to batch edit announcements in Canvas? It's hella time consuming to have to go and edit the post dates of 30+ Announcements one by one at the beginning of each semester for each shell…and resetting the dates for the shell upon import never works well!
Our designer recently left and we are trying to update a legacy link. The support site has changed a lot since I was here last, so I'm having some challenges finding what I need. Is there a resource to provide a new link for a legacy link? This particular link was for the guide for mobile users. Thank you, Brian
We had a question come up about the Canvas Parent app vs. the Canvas app, and I’d love to hear how other schools are handling this. We now have students in Canvas from primary through high school. Some of our parents have discovered that they can log in to the Student app and see more information than they can in the…
Hello, I am trying to use our school's Beta site to run an experiment, but multi-factor authentication is not going through. I ask it to send a text code, but I never receive it. And since I can't log in, I can't turn off MFA. Has anyone else experienced this?
My screencast o matic does not have any sound. Can I edit the sound?

1) Make New Quizzes shareable between teachers. This is a huge drawback for teachers collaborating on courses and drives my colleagues and I to continue using Classic Quizzes instead. Currently, the quiz questions disappear when shared between teachers. 2) Enable New Quizzes to show quiz results by class/ period in a…

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…
I had a FFT account, and learned it was shut down after the May windo just when I tried to login. No communication. I randomly and very luckily tried logging in on July 28 and saw the second open window (no communication again) for 48 hours, and I was able to download my courses and warn all my colleagues to as well.…

Does anyone have a workaround for the Gradebook feature "Set Default Grade"? It doesn't seem to work anymore. Except when it does. Let me explain. Sometime this semester, since January '25, "Set default grade" stopped working. Invoking the feature, entering a default grade, all I get is the "spinning thing". No grades are…

Canvas needs the same Speedgrader tools available for Canvas Discussions. Highlighting, point annotation, text comments, strikethrough, area annotations, etc. This would make instructor feedback easier.
Hi, all! My organisation is looking into using IgniteAI Grading Assistance for SpeedGrader to support assessment marking. I would like to ask users who have actually started using this feature within their organisations: What are the pros/cons of the tool? How did it change your work flow? Would you recommend it? Looking…
I've been using Canvas for at least 7 years. In that time I often use the gradebook to enter grades, while looking through speedgrader on a 2nd screen. I have a mix of Classic Quizzes and New Quizzes. When grading quizzes with essay type questions where the student has to type answers the gradebook shows a piece of paper…
Using the Canvas Parent app on Android. Going to Calendar > Calendars and hitting the checkboxes next to the classes I want to see, I can successfully select four. When I try to select a fifth, the app throws a "you can only select up to ten calendars" error. It seems to be miscounting. I tried to submit a support case,…
Hello all, I was wondering if anyone knows how to get Canvas to order assignments in the Gradebook by Category? I have had multiple teachers ask for this feature, and as a combo teacher/admin I am happy to add whatever code is necessary if anyone knows how to add it.
My school district has changed our required Learning Outcomes for all of our courses for this school year. How can I archive the 400+ Learning Outcomes we used last school year so they're still linked to our 25-26 courses but teachers can't use them in 26-27 courses going forward?
Because Catalog only supports a single payment for an entire purchase, I want the entire transaction to happen in Stripe so that our learners can pay over an arbitrary number of months to Stripe and each payment is reported to Canvas. My understanding is this would require special coding and API/webhooks. Has anyone done…

Lexington City Schools set out to solve a common challenge: too much assessment data and not enough instructional clarity. Their benchmark approach relied on free, state-provided assessments that lacked alignment and predictive insight, leaving teachers unsure how to use data to inform instruction. In this session,…

Matt Miller, high school Spanish teacher, author of AI Literacy in Any Class, and creator of Ditch That Textbook, joins host Ryan Lufkin and guest co-host Jody Sailor to work out what a teacher actually does about AI when most of the advice comes from people who don't have a class of their own.
