New here. The system seems to have flagged my email to use for Canvas in an upcoming internship for future account creation presumably because my email hasn't been verified yet or because I made an account first before they sent the link for account creation. Is there any way I can delete my account in the meantime?
Our students learn incrementally, so they often need to easily access old courses from previous years in order to complete current year's material. The only method of doing this is to navigate to 'All Courses', then they scroll down to 'Past enrolments'. Unlike me (teacher), they cannot 'Favorite' a past enrolment so it is…
Hello! We are currently trying to design our Canvas courses and are using SCORM specifically. The thing that concerns us is the next button on the bottom of the page. A learner could skip the course entirely and just hit the next button. Our knowledge checks are built into the SCORM file, so it is not like we can have the…
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…
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…
Has anyone had a chance to try this with a Canvas quiz? Seems it may have a similar effect as ChatGPT Atlas able to provide all the answers to an open Quiz. https://www.theregister.com/2026/03/05/microsoft_adds_a_sidepane_for/
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…
Is there no notification available for students to confirm when they have successfully submitted an assignment? I am sure I've seen and experienced this before, and it seems like a no-brainer to implement, but I have searched our notification preferences and the page in the Kb about it and still have not found a way to do…
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…
