For this week six optional advanced exercise, I expanded my practice with Python and R by working through a series of tasks involving variables, casting, data structures, list processing, and basic algorithm design. I explored Python’s dynamic typing and used casting to resolve type‑related issues. I created and separated…
Regardless of whether or not it's a good idea, does anyone know if it's possible to have a pop-up on a catalog/sub-catalog page? Our marketing folks are asking me. They'd like a pop-up that allows visitors to "let us know if you'd like more information" with a link to a request for information form that resides on our…
Help with installing Redirect Tool. Stuck here:
Canvas deploys contain code changes that are intended to fix bugs, improve performance, and prepare for new features. These deploys take place every two weeks and can be tested in the beta environment before the production deploy date indicated in the title of this document. [info callout] Unless otherwise stated, all…
I have a teacher with a quiz that is graded, but the assignment itself goes into our SIS (PowerSchool), but th egrades are not going over, but the sync information says it all went over. How do I remedy this?
Hi. I've had a few issues viewing images on a Mac. This seems to be a browser general issue as it occurs both in Safari and Edge. I noted that changing the <img src=""> URL made the image render fine. Typically, they are as follows: "https://canvas.sgul.ac.uk/courses/5997/files/1880891/preview" . If you change "/preview"…
I have created a couple of interactive elements in Notebook LM and want to upload them to my Canvas page… The only options for exporting from Notebook are CSV and JSON… Does anyone know of a way to integrate the JSON files into Canvas pages?
I've seen some messaging that IgniteAI might eventually be a "for pay" feature. I didn't hear anything about this at the last InstructureCon, though. Is there any official information about this?
Hello, I have set up a Canvas course with two groups: students and supervisors. It seems the supervisor group are able to see unpublished modules. Not sure how to fix this. I have checked their permissions - they have the same as the students with a few more added re marking. They are unable to publish/unpublish, but they…
Hello Instructure Community, I’d like to raise a reporting/export limitation with New Quizzes when using the “Ungraded Survey” (ungraded) option. Issue / current behavior In an Ungraded Survey, the Reports area does not show Student Analysis or Quiz and Item Analysis. As a result, it appears there is currently no way to…
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!
For the past six months or so, when I engage some of the editing features in Canvas, I'm sent to the top of the page. For instance, if I click on the edit icon (the pencil) to edit the comments in a quiz question, I'll jump to the top of the screen. (And the comments box has meanwhile become editable, but I have to scroll…
Hi! There were 2 accounts detected under my name, but I only created 1 account. How can I delete the unused account using the ID?
I have Canvas set to drop the lowest quiz score, however, my students can only barely tell that the grade text is slightly grey when dropped. Can it have a tag like the "missing" and "exempt" ones in the student gradebook?
During high school my step-father was stationed at Ft. Campbell, KY so I had the opportunity to travel all over Kentucky during sporting & other school-related events. One of spots was Univ. of Kentucky (big blue) in Louisville, KY. First, Kentucky is just beautiful - wide open spaces. Beyond being a college-town,…
If I copy and paste a link from another canvas page, it brings the link itself as well as the text, which is lovely, but every time it pastes it it includes the text "Links to an external site" as part of the link text. This is potentially useful for students who have never used the internet before, but rarely helpful…
Faculty want to be able to have students sign up for topics in Canvas. They want number of students who can sign up for a topic to be limited (e.g. 4 people). We are in the process of migrating from Moodle and they previously used the Choice tool for this. They don't like the idea of using a collaborative document for this…

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.
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…
So, we have encountered a few assignments where the Speedgrader presents the teacher with the "Empty Course" page, even though the course is not empty. I have discovered two New Quizzes in the same course where this has occurred, despite multiple students being assigned (at Module level, which passes the permission down to…
When I checked his student details I saw a "Failed to load access tokens" How can I help him?
A teacher has expressed concerns with the recent update. Exact concern is as follows: "My Canvas has been acting glitchy since the last "update." For instance, when I grade essays the highlight and cursor tools do not always work. I have to try highlighting several times,or come back later to finish. It's told me I "ran…
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…
