My class has 6 tests; lowest score is dropped. A student asked today (after we've taken 5 tests) if her semester score on Canvas already reflects that the lowest score (so far) has been dropped, or if it is only going to show up after all 6 tests have been taken. I assumed it continuously recalculated every time a test…
Hi, I have two assignment groups for exams: one is the highest of the four exams scores and one is the lowest of the four exams scores. I use a rule in the assignment group for each (drop the lowest three scores and drop the highest three scores, accordingly). When I have only three scores entered (in each group), they…
I am wondering if Canvas could consider allowing admins to change the name of course navigation items? I am thinking particularly of the item called 'modules' which is a really useful item to have available to students - but the name is confusing in our case as the whole course is called a 'module'. Thank you for your…

This is a serious accessibility issue, as it is not reasonable to expect us to retype the alt text every time we paste the same image in a different place. Please address this issue ASAP
Per below, I have Canvas configured to do a 50% deduction on late assignments. The problem is this is not a 50% deduction. Instead, it appears to be deducting 50 points. For example, if I have a 25-point assignment, the student gets a 0 for a late assignment. Even if the interval is the issue, it would take many days…
I need to make an adjustment to the due dates for several quizzes and other assignments for one student who has been in the hospital. I have tried to follow the directions given to Moderate a quiz. However, nothing I do with a closed or open quiz brings up a list with Moderate this Quiz as an option. What do I do now? Mary…
I saw a post that this was in development (from back in 2021), but when I clicked on the link to subscribe to this update, it was missing. Does anyone know if this is still in development? It would be so nice to be able to set partial points for matching questions. For example, if they incorrectly match 1 - 3 items, they…
