Could anyone please tell me if there is an option in courses for teachers or at the account level for admins to turn of What-If grades for students? Thank you in advance! fingers crossed
I am trying to add an existing discussion to an existing Module. When I click on the + sign for the Module and the option screen appears, the discussion is not listed under discussion. I can see it when I click on Discussions but can't get it to show for upload. I have been uploading other discussions I created on this…
I have just spent over 3 hours trying to make contact with an administrator as someone recommended I try this - I exported half of my old Free for Teachers Canvas Instructure files, but then got pulled away from this task as my husband ended up in the VA hospital in Tucson AZ. I missed the Oct 6 deadline and now Ihave over…
I developed a Discussion, and it shows when I click on Discussions, but when I go to my module to upload it, the discussion does not show. I have gone back and forth but cannot locate the discussion in the upload box. I have had this happen several times for Assignments and Discussions but, normally, I just have to go back…
I am still doing some experimenting with the new Canvas Lite system and so far I am not seeing a way to "unconclude a course". That button is missing under settings. Is this not possible in Canvas Lite? If not, I hope this feature can be added (just like "Delete this course" was added). Thanks!
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…
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?
Hi, I am new to canvas and I am assigned a voiceover for 10 slides for up to 12 minutes. I have the video of me talking for 12 minutes… but nothing else. My background picture is the only thing that shows up when I select both for the option or webcam and screen. I have tried PP presentation mode and PDF form… nothing…
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…
If you missed it, you missed it. But here’s your chance to catch up (and crash the next one). This one was a conversation as much as a demo. @Renee Carney welcomed @Daniel Guillot and @JostLeavell for a session that moved from course evaluation to exit ticket automation to transcript-to-lesson in under 30 minutes.…
I have completed a course and earned a badge but its not showing up in my backpack
I made a post last week regarding the missing features within the new Canvas Lite. I'm happy to see that deleting courses and adding profile pictures have been added. Now, a feature that was advertised with the Canvas Lite launch, Google Drive / OneDrive/Microsoft, is not available for assignment submissions or as an app…
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?
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…
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…
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.
Instructure has updated its quizzing tool by enhancing questions, making settings more sophisticated, and easing the application of accessibility options. New Quizzes is a separate tool and not yet scheduled for enforcement, so it is a perfect time to learn about the ease of migration from classic quizzes and explore this…
