I work in a small district and have only been able to use the FFTs account because my district refuses to pay for Canvas. Myself and a few other educators have been working for the past 3 years to convince the district that Canvas is worth the money, but after the security issues and us being locked out of our FFTs…
We have all of our trainings in the canvas free for teachers, hours of material. Is there anyway to get limited access or for them to send us the data? Has anybody explored these options? We have a course that is suppose to come out this month.
It's not clear why there is such silence regarding the Free-for-Teacher accounts. Will they be available or not? Many of us relied on Canvas to teach classes and grades are now due, with deadlines for completed grades due right away. We know about the page with the updates, which only says that FFT is not available. We…
I am using Canvas both the paid version for our university, but like countless others, I also use the free version when invited to teach outside the university or even when doing workshops, presentations, etc. When is the free version going to be back up? I have a lot of course/workshop data on the free version.…
First, I am using my husband's student account because I can't log in with my FFT account. I, like everyone else, would love an update on free for teacher. Just something from someone because we are in limbo. I have 2 fellow instructors who go live on June 1 with classes and already had their courses built. They are…
Can we add an option in Canvas where we can set up a default comment on assignments? For example, things happen and sometimes you simply run out of time in class. A default comment option would allow us to inform students of a change for the entire class. Examples-We will work on this assignment tomorrow in class. The due…
Imagine yourself walking into a library where books are piled randomly on the floor. You’d eventually find the book that you’re looking for, however you’d lose your momentum in the process. For students, most Canvas courses without organized Modules is that library. Just like in a library where organized books are crucial,…
On April 29, 2026, Instructure became aware of certain unauthorized activities by an unauthorized third party (the “Threat Actor”) in its computing environment, specifically in its Canvas learning management system (LMS). On May 1, 2026, CrowdStrike Services (“CrowdStrike”) was engaged to provide investigative services and…
Overnight, from 5-14-26 to the morning of 5-15-26, Canvas pages are behaving differently for us. Video embeds are getting "squashed" when the RCE is opened and, if the page is saved, they continue to look that way. Also, in a breakout box, I notice it eliminates position: relative, which was on the Allow list, amongst…
Hi, In our Canvas Studio system, we are unable to find the Video Quizzing option. Currently, we only see the options shown in the attached image. Could anyone please assist us with how to enable or activate the Video Quizzing feature in Canvas Studio? Thank you.
Hi - I have students submit .java files to Canvas, and I use SpeedGrader to give line-by-line feedback. This stopped working in the last couple days - student files show up in preview has containing the content "JWT rejected: JTI has already been used" instead of the correct content of their file. Thus I cannot give…
I have a course I created in the FFT version that I need to retrieve for a class starting in about ten days. How can I get my content back? Replies from @KristenLundstrum appear to provide some hope of retrieval. Is that a possibility?
I’m in the final weeks of my courses, and I’ve just learned that Canvas FFT accounts have been temporarily disabled due to the recent breach incident. At this point, I don’t know when access will be restored or whether these accounts will even be reopened at all. One of my biggest concerns is the possibility that FFT…
After the cyber attack, some of my embedded images aren't showing up in quizzes. It seems to just be one of my classes, in particular, and the others were fixed on Monday. Anybody know what 3 of my classes were fixed, but the fourth one (Geometry) won't show the images in the quizzes?
Hi everyone, I've got several pages and assignments where I use frames to embed videos and interactive resources. But whenever I go into editing, the formatting in some of them breaks down: the video size shrinks down, or I'm left with an empty blank space. I think I've narrowed down the cause of this issue: Some of these…
Hello, I'm building a standalone app that integrate with CanvasI) - What are the requirements (and cost if any) for receiving an API developer key issued by Instructure? - Are Instructure-issued keys enabled globally in all Canvas organizations? or will there need to be institution-by-institution enablement? Thanks
The most recent quizzes and question banks (including renames) are not showing up as options in the Course Import Tool. As I was creating a new quiz in one course (Classic), I went to add the questions from the Question Bank, but what I needed wasn't there. I went back to the other course to make sure everything was…
Hi everyone, We are reviewing an assignment solution that allows assessors to use SpeedGrader while observing students in the workplace and assessing them. We have looked at using simple rubrics with "No Submission" assignment types. This meets some requirements, but not all. Is there any way in Canvas to ensure the…
In the wake of the recent Canvas security incident, many instructors are rethinking how they protect their course materials and ensure continuity for students if the LMS becomes unavailable. A common question we’re hearing is how to effectively back up courses “just in case,” especially with an eye toward re‑distributing…
Hello, We just started with Parchment, we have used Badgr in the past. Our badge is showing up as the Canvas icon in LinkedIn rather than the actual institution created badge. Is there a setting that we are missing? We set this up with Canvas support. Thanks.
I have multiple Canvas courses to add to the requirements needed to complete a step along a pathway. Is there a way to copy a step or copy the requirements from one step to another?
On April 21 and 27, 2026, the student’s submission page appeared empty on my end. Upon checking again on May 5, 2026, a submission is now visible and is dated April 21 at 9:01 AM. Canvas note: Student Viewed Document: May 4 at 10:21 PM. How is this possible? There is only one submission, and it requires a PDF file upload.…
