Hello, I work in the student accessbility department in higher education, and am responsible for the development and implementation of Access Plans. I understand that differentiation tags exist at a course level once students are enrolled in a course; however, are differentiation tags available at a student level, so that…
I was going to make this a reply on the original QuizWiz post here, but it seems to be locked for new replies. With the enhanced Speedgrader being enforced, I noticed that my QuizWiz user script stopped doing anything in Speedgrader. There was no automatic giving of full points, 0s for unanswered questions, etc. Below are…
Hello! A course we run has progression that requires students to achieve 100% (10/10 points) on module components in order to advance to the next module. After the midterm date of our course, we have students receive half-credit on modules completed up to the halfway point (to make sure that students are incentivized to…
A few months ago I discovered Course Analytics and I love all the data it provides! My favorite feature is the Weekly Online Activity page.

The font used for students' names in the new speed grader interface has very tight kerning, so it is incredibly difficult (for me, anyway) to read students' names. This is an accessibility issue, and it delays my work. The classic speed grader used a font for students' names with wider kerning — it was easy to read. Can we…
How do I create flashcards on a Canvas Page?
Hello, A few days ago I was accessing my quiz logs without an issue. For the past few days, though, suddenly the quiz logs are blank — see screenshot. My institution is looking into this but it's rather time sensitive that I have access to these logs again, so I'm posting here just in case anyone else has experienced this…
Hi everyone! We're looking for a solution to require students to acknowledge an academic integrity and AI-use statement before they can submit an assignment in Canvas.

I have a student enrolled in a course who has been able to access content with no problem. But yesterday she was suddenly unable to log in, and that has continued. She tried to change her password, but Canvas never sends her an email with a link to change it. She also has stopped receiving announcement emails. What's going…
We have an instructor where someone accidentally created a duplicate record for him. This record has been around a while (canvas IDs are 2683 and 2691, so only a few new users apart. The records were then merged, and the instructor has been with us for several years now without issue. Until now. We're syncing Fall courses…

Dear Parchment Digital Badges Community, Building a successful credential program is about more than issuing badges.

Data analysis might be one of the fastest-growing skills in one market, while employers somewhere else are struggling to find cybersecurity talent.…

By the time a student is clearly struggling, the window for meaningful intervention has often already closed. That's why we're introducing predictive insights in…
