Hi everyone. I am currently having this issue: one of my student took yesterday a final exam twice (I had set it allowing my students to take it twice with LockDown Browser). But both attempts were incomplete: the student's notebook froze at one point. In order to let them exit the exam, we had to force an exit and reboot.…
Importing a few things from one Canvas course to another, I accidentally clicked the wrong course to import from. I realized the mistake, went back, and imported from the correct course. But the incorrect course is still stuck in my import queue and "waiting for selection." How can I cancel or clear it out from there? I…
I recently watched the April 2026 "New & Next" podcast where Instructure discussed some of the IgniteAI features and how Instructure would indicate whether the IgniteAI feature would be free or require a separate purchase or something like an upgraded Canvas LMS tier package. Instructure mentioned three Canvas categories:…
The PDF documents appear not to be loading in SpeedGrader (image 1 below). I found that it's because the document view is too small, and I'll have to resize it using the handle (circled in the images) every time (for every student). This is also the case for everyone else on the instructor team. Has anyone also encountered…
I’m writing to ask whether there’s a way to enable text-to-speech for quizzes to meet IEP/504 requirements. Many of our special education students are joining general education classes for the first time, and for some, the accommodation is not about comprehension but about demonstrating what they learned. In our ASYNC…
My students are telling me that they can't resubmit assignments where they have already made a submission via the google drive external tool. The due date and 'until' date have not passed, and the number of submissions allowed is 'unlimited'.
An instructor at our institution accidentally deleted a student's comment that they left on an assignment. Is it possible to restore the comment? I checked in /undelete, but the most recent deleted object was from over a month ago. Thanks.
Hi everyone, I’m trying to figure out if there’s a way to create custom groups of students that aren’t tied to a specific course section or class period for the purpose of due date differentiation. Right now, the only options I see for the “Assign to…” feature are entire class periods or individual students. What I’d…
We are experiencing an issue in New Quizzes where the “Previous” and “Next” navigation buttons appear far down the page, below the visible view point of the screen. This happens after the student has submitted the quiz and clicks Return. The navigation buttons should appear immediately after quiz content, but now the…
I have a student who will be getting planned elective surgery and has asked me to open the remaining 3 modules and the final early so they can take them before the surgery. I am unsure how to open these things without messing up the grading for my other students. Can someone tell me how to open these modules and final for…
