When sending a course url link to students, it won't prompt them to create a password, so if they log out before finishing, they will be unable to get back in. The workaround I found is that once they accept the invite, they will still appear as users under the "People" tab — and as a Teacher, you'll be able to click the 3…
HUGE THANK YOU to Canvas Lite team members and community coaches who've answered our questions (including @Noah, @Chris @JeffCampbell, @Katie, @Dianna, @Kristin Lundstrum, and more) plus the decision makers who decided to go this way. Sure, I have some trauma from this past spring and over the summer through last week (who…
Like the post title says, a fellow professor keeps getting invalid username or password errors when trying to long in. She requested a password through "forgot your password?" and contacted support, but has yet to receive a response. We hadn't posted because we assumed it was just a slightly longer wait with it being the…

I thought student roles don't need to submit ID to register? Since students have to sign up for Canvas Lite before we can send them course invites now, I wanted to test it out myself before having anyone register. It still asked me for an ID and selfie prior when creating a student account.
I have two suggestions for improvements for the grading rubric. Allow non-graded headers for the rubric, i.e. Introduction, Body, Conclusion, etc. This would make it easier for students to follow especially if they are also following a printed version of the rubric. While you can create headings, they still have a box…
With the shift to Canvas Lite officially underway, moving your students over to new course spaces can take a little transition time. Here is a quick guide to getting your students enrolled and settled in smoothly so everyone can hit the ground running. Steps for Teachers Unlike in the former Free for Teacher Canvas…
Nowhere in the registration does CanvasLite ask students for their emails, but I have a student who forgot their password and cannot sign in. He tried to click the forgot password link, it asked him for his email, and then it says it sent the reset link, but since he never had to enter his email when registering for…
When I include an email address and click "next", it doesn't let me add a name like it did for "Free for Teachers". The "Add Users" button is greyed out. Do they have to create an account fist now? If so, can we send them an email invite to do that?
Are practice quizzes not a thing in CanvasLite? All my graded quizzes transferred over from my FFT export just fine, and I just have to click "build" to get them to resync with their Question Bank, which is now listed under the Item Banks. The practice quizzes, though, will not sync. I can't get them to see the item bank…
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…
I am not seeing an option to upload a profile image in Canvas Lite. I am wondering if this feature will be added so that students have this option.
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…
Is there a way for me to create a rubric that shows BOTH points and a letter grade, while the Gradebook in both my view and student view shows JUST points? I tried setting up the rubric showing a letter grade in the grading scheme, and a letter shows in the Assessment box…but then my gradebook also shows the letter grade,…
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.
We use a pre- post- model to measure learning which requires student-question matching from two time periods. This requires exporting quiz data to CSV to do the analysis properly. (I can get into more detail if needed.) The New Quizzes Student Analysis CSV export has repeated blocks of ItemID then columns related to that…
Good morning - Does anyone know the process to rename a branding theme in Catalog? According to the How do I customize a catalog or subcatalog using the Storefront Theme Editor? guide - we should be able to utilize the pencil to update the name of the theme. We are being told that this is not supported, but the guide says…
