Hello! I'm looking for an efficient way to save Studio videos of users who leave the organization. Our current process is to download and reupload them individually. There must be a better way. Is it possible to just transfer ownership of videos to someone else? Thanks for your help!

Suggestion: IB and AP are moving to all digital. Currently, if we want peer reviews for in class essays, we have to use the assignment feature. Could we use the quizzes feature so we can use the lockdown browser AND also assign peer reviews? This would help support the integrity of the timed essay.

I've had some faculty ask if could block agentic browsers such as Comet, ChatGPT Atlas, and Dia from being able to access Canvas. Have any schools taken a stance on this?

I am trying to use Learning Outcomes for my course which has many sections each term. We currently have no institutional, school or program outcomes. I created a set of outcomes for Section 1 of my course. I then labelled every question in the item banks I was using in my first quiz (New Quiz) of the semester. I got a nice…

My Canvas shell has three different sections that all meet at different times throughout the week. I need to be able to batch edit assignment due dates by section, but right now Canvas can't filter by section for batch edit. My only option is now to manually (tediously) edit due dates for each assignment individually.
This spring, suddenly the Speed Grader looks different, and one change I've noticed is that I can no longer download a student's assignment submission. It says "access denied" when I try to download it. A student's video had no sound, so I wanted to download it to see if that would fix the issue, but I can't. Any…
Breakout Discussions would enable instructors to orchestrate multi-phase discussions that mirror effective classroom facilitation patterns. An instructor creates a master discussion topic, then segments participants into small breakout groups for focused conversation, and finally reconvenes everyone into a unified thread…
We would like to create a custom certificate rather than use the provided certificates so that we can match other things we are doing. I have seen online that it is possible but we're trying to find out where it is. Please help!!
Hi all, Quick question about the Gradebook color status for a 2-part checkpoint discussion. If a student completes the first due date (initial post) but does not complete the required replies by the second due date, is there any way for Canvas to automatically show a color (e.g., missing/late) instead of staying as…
Hi folks - I had a sales call recently with an Instructure staff member who told me that Canvas FFT is going to be sunsetted, possibly as early as April 2026. They've actually said this to me several times now, in both email and via phone, though they don't have any actual details and I can't find any public confirmation.…
My journey in this platform has been smooth. I appreciate how one will not lack resource when needing more insights of information for certain activities and for basic understanding.
Among all the things that I wish Canvas had is that one! Is it something that is been worked on? We had it in Blackboard (legacy) and I sorely miss and need in Canvas (we just transitioned to it from Bb). Please add this very needed feature!
Hello Mastery Connect world! Student A has the ability to log in on their chromebook, then send Student B the same code who logs in as Student A as the same time. Student A keeps refreshing their test while Student B completes the test on their chromebook. When it's completed, Student A submits the test. Is there a way to…
Morning! One of the more frustrating aspects of Canvas are groups and the issues that show up when copying courses that have them. But now we have yet another issue. Most recently we have had instances where people mark an assignment/discussion as a group assignment but then do not link the discussion or assignment to any…
A recent change my students have been complaining about is that they now have to wait for Canvas to process submissions so that it can be displayed within the browser before they can check that the submission worked. When the servers are heavily loaded I have seen student need to wait 5 minutes for this. When submitting at…

We are testing a third party integration from our college's ERP provider. We have connected it to our test environment. It seems to have very few features and options. So, just wondering if there is a way to monitor API calls. I was able to use the DAPClient in Python to download canvas_logs in our production environment.…
