Hello, I am a member of the Canvas LMS user support staff at my institution. I am looking for advice on long-term data retention for completed courses. In Blackboard, there is an "Archive" feature that creates a single package containing the entire course content along with all student records, including grades and their…
I'm looking at a course where the instructor went hog-wild and invited almost all of the students with all of the alternate email addresses they could find for them. This leaves me with a roster with most of the students added 2, or sometimes 3 times (with different emails), most of them in "Pending" status. The instructor…

When you are creating a quiz and/or also reviewing a quiz in Canvas after the class has taken it, the questions aren't numbered so after you get past the first few questions, there is no way to even tell what number you are on. Can someone change that?

Until recently, I would say for about a week or so on Canvas, students submissions are compressed into a different file format when downloaded. I noticed this with media files such as video .movs turn into mp4s . And uncompressed audio .wav files are converted and downloaded as m4as. Not sure what's going on here, but this…
First Feature Suggestion: Display Last Date of Attendance when using Canvas Attendance Tool One of the required pieces of information I must collect is the last date of attendance when a student violates my attendance policy.

With the new SpeedGrader UI, we are seeing student names appear in the page title even when the “Hide student names” setting is enabled. When using Classic Quizzes, there is no option within the quiz settings to enable anonymous grading, so we rely on instructors using the hide student names setting in SpeedGrader to…
Hi, Are there any plans to improve the annotation tools available within SpeedGrader? I recently used an annotation tool from another platform, and when you clicked anywhere on the student submission, it gave annotation options right where you clicked, so that you didn't have to keep clicking a bar at the top to switch…
I am an admin for a few sub-accounts in my organization. The students in one subaccount in particular can only see their final score. That is, the total points they have earned over the total points in the course (other subaccounts sync with our SIS). This results in them seeing a very low grade with it gradually…
