Since we launched Canvas Portfolios last year, four pieces of feedback came through front and center. Bringing an assignment into a portfolio meant syncing it from Canvas: a linked reference, not evidence of its own. The Rich Content Editor held only plain text and files, with no room for a video, a board, or anything…
As previously, I try to add a new user in the student role via the +People button. I then enter their email address, which is an @outlook.com email, but the system comes back with "We were unable to find matches below." When I click "next," I get the message, "No users were selected to add to the course." It does not…
Three issues and one ask: 1) After importing the IMSCC file from FFT a number of images were broken, referencing src="/courses/xxx/" where xxx was the FFT course number from the URL. After manually updating to the Lite course number the image appeared. Shouldn't this have been automatically done as part of the import?…
Hello, I was a Free for Teacher Canvas user and now I am looking to transfer my courses to Canvas Lite. The thing is, my courses have a lot of content (ex : from 750.000 ko to 6.130.000 ko). It seems like I can only export courses up to 476,8 MB ??? My files are obviously imscc format and from the Canvas Free for Teacher…
Just started using Canvas Lite today. I've noticed a few things missing. Google Drive / OneDrive is gone for assignment submissions and as an app within the Course Menu Can't invite Students by Email Can't delete courses
I have exported my courses from Free-for-Teacher and then tried to import them into new courses in Canvas Lite. Every import is failing. What might be the problem? Is this a common issue with the current roll-out?
Does anyone know how to solve this? I am an individual teacher and I'm not associated to any other institution. Everything in my course is my own work. I have no idea how to get the final IMSCC file, as this error prevents that box from showing on the screen.
You've made the call that paper records have to go. Whether you got here from a near-miss deadline, too many afternoons spent hunting for a specific record, or it’s time to protect records from potential physical harm, the question you face has changed. Now, it's, “What do we replace paper with?” Not every records platform…
I 've tried to invite students to join courses via email but it does not work like previous Canvas version. Should you have a check and give user instruction materials if there are any changes? Thank you.
I have created a module and published it. When I go to the student view to make sure it is showing I want for students, it shows "No modules have been defined for this course," even though both the modules and the items within the modules are published. Is there a way to fix this?

We know Free-for-Teacher educators have been waiting for an update. So we’re excited to share that Canvas Lite is coming to canvaslite.instructure.com at the end of September. It's a simple, no-cost way for individual educators to build and deliver course content to their learners, without needing an institution to…
Changes in Georgia > World Languages To better reflect how GA’s World Languages appear on GA SuitCASE, we are making a variety of changes in the data, including combining all existing standards into the same publication > document pathway and creating new sections.

I use student groups for a group project and for activities in Harmonize. Sometimes I need to find out what group a student is in, but when I go to People and search under the groups tab, it gives me no results. I have to click into each group until I find the student I'm looking for. I have online classes with a lot of…
I'm not sure what this error message means to best decide how to address it. Searching gave no other examples of this issue. Can anyone explain?
I had no problem submitting verification the first time but it wasn’t accepted. I clicked the link below to retry and it asks me to login to Canvas Lite, which I can’t do since my identity wasn’t verified the first time. I don’t know where to go to resubmit the identity documents so I’m kind of lost.
As it is now, assignments that are dropped show to the students as a slightly lighter font color. However, if students do not complete an assignment that is then dropped, the font color doesn't change at all and it shows as "missing" in red. Why not just change all dropped assignments to "Dropped" instead of "missing"?…
We want to thank everyone who was able to make it to our September Impact User Group meeting. We had a great level of engagement and participation and we especially want to that Camila Acosta from Trinity University and James Kocher from Indian River State College for their presentations and sharing what is working well…
After testing Canvas Lite for a day, I can see that the course and participant limits are going to be a problem for the way we organize our courses. Everything else that Canvas Lite offers appears to meet our needs apart from the maximum of 5 published courses at one time. Even the 500MB storage and 50 students per course…
Our H5P LTI assignment scores are not returning to the gradebook 9 times out of 10. It's been going on since 15 September, and we are not aware of any event or change at that time that might have caused the issue. The H5P reports confirm students have completed the assignments, therefore ruling out user error. Is anyone…
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.
