Hello, I believe this question may have been answered before and the answer was "no", so I want to confirm the answer is still "no": I have an assignment I only want some of the groups in my class (not sections) to do that assignment How can I do that? Currently the "Assign To:" allows you to select ONLY sections or…
My add people button is not active
As a teacher, is there a way to see if a student has taken all attempts of an assignment in the gradebook. My department knows that we can find this information in speedgrader or under moderate of the assignment, but would like to have a way to see it in the gradebook easily (ie: like have a checkmark in the corner of the…
Right now, we have the option to create a self-enroll link for students to join a course. In addition to using Canvas as the primary LMS for teachers to students, we also use it for Teacher PD, student surveys, etc. We are suggesting that Canvas develop a way to make different self-enroll links for each section in a…
Hi all, I have a question about the attendance list on canvas. The way we work now is: We have many groups, and also several teachers who each teach about 2 to 4 groups. We let the students enroll themselves into the group that fits their schedule the best. The teachers must keep the attendance of all students through the…
Hello,I would like to report an inaccurate translation found in the Japanese version of the Canvas LMS interface. The current, misleading Japanese text is: 「書く受講者」 It should be corrected to: 「各受講者」 This translation error appears on the following page/section: [Assignments] A screenshot illustrating the issue is attached…
Hi I am very very new to Canvas. I have some API experience using Msft Power Automate. I would prefer not to use pagination and would rather filter my results from the get-go. How do I filter the users based on their email address… say in: https://MySite.instructure.com/api/v1/accounts/1/users/ Would the regular Odata…
Is it possible to list the admin accounts for a user? There is an API for listing admins for an account (see https://developerdocs.instructure.com/services/canvas/resources/admins#method.admins.index) but we want to go the other way and list which accounts a user has admin access to.
Hi all, we are seing as issue where if a student answers a questions within the quiz which has an acceptable alternative response, and the point is upgraded from 0/1 - 1/1 (and update is pressed with adjustment saved) When the student has a 2nd attempt the original 1st attempt incorrect answer which has been marked as…
Anyone know where we now post Ideas/Suggestions, like this one??? When we upload images directly to a Canvas page, the interface allows us to add alt text to that image, which is excellent (maybe make it not 'hidden', to encourage more people to use it!!!). It would be SOOOOOOO good if this alt text was actually saved to…
Everything says change the mini-calendar and then take it to the new month, but that does not work. The mini-calendar and main calendar sync to the same month.
Hi, I am an instructor. The Totals column is missing from the gradebook. Is there a setting that needs to be changed? It's not that in the Settings, the "Hide totals in student grades summary" (which applies to students anyway) is checked. Thanks, Asif
Our campus will hire TA's to take attendance among other tasks for Faculty during class. The issue is that we don't want TA's to be able to see the Gradebook, but we want them to be able to take attendance. If their Permission set doesn't have any of the "Grades" permissions enabled, they can see and take attendance, but…
As an admin and other teachers in the course, the gradebook always displays fine for us, no matter what settings we chose. But, we have a particular instructor where the display is all messed up if he goes into the gradebook settings and chooses to show the total and override columns. The display of the grades is no longer…

Hello, does the query for course accept an array of course ids? I received an error message of variable mismatch.
I understand that canvas is a core part of my education and that's why blocking/report spam doesn't work. However getting so many emails is filling my Gmail with spam, and I get constant annoying notifications on my phone (I won't turn off gmail notifications because some things are actually important). Is there a way to…
Hi everyone! We began using Badgr through Canvas in 2018. We have always used it with our primary students, specifically grades K-5 and heavily in Kindergarten. It has come to our attention that the move to Parchment will not only require us to pay for this access, but also prevents us from using it with our K-5 students…
Hello, As the Canvas admin, I received this from a faculty member. Instructure currently has 2 pages, that together explain some of the AI additions: https://community.instructure.com/en/discussion/610437/ai-nutrition-facts-making-informed-decisions… https://instructure.ai/nutritionfacts/?id=bcealttext I have two specific…
I assigned the first draft of an assignment. Each student got rubric comments from me and from one peer. The Speed Grader view gives me a "Select Rubric" menu, allowing me to toggle between my comments and the peer comments. But the Gradebook's "Bulk Download Rubrics" command generates a CSV file with only the peers'…
Hello, I am trying to query a course ID to check if it was cross listed. Do you know what is the data field to get this information or what query or API endpoint to use? I tried to use nonxlist_course_id, but received error 'doesn't exist on type course'.
Hi all, I'm looking to see if this has happened for anyone else. A student completed a Classic Quiz and one question was counted wrong that should not have been. In the quiz settings, the instructor entered 9 possible answers for this question. The student entered one of these answers. However, that particular question was…
Do you have any recommendations for a text-to-speech software that works well with Canvas?
When a student is provided two lessons for an exam in which an essay response is required as part of the quiz, it would be nice if the work they did in the first lesson appears in the essay box for the second lesson. Is there a way to do this? Build on Last Attempt does not provided this.
