Looking for help on this topic which I've already brought to Canvas now three times and have had no resolution. I have unit quizzes set up in my course that are designed to have students take, see answers, then retake, so they are able to test their knowledge and strengthen it with each resubmission. To do this, I have the…
In Canvas, I would like to move the order of announcements up or down depending on the importance of the topic, but I don’t see an option to do this. Can you help me? If this feature does not exist, how can I let the Canvas development team know so they can consider adding it? Thank you for your help! Ricardo
Hi I'd like to weight the assignments within an assignment group differently based on the student's scores within that group. Within the assignment group for exams, students have four scores. I do not want to drop any of the scores. I want their highest score to be worth 35% of the value of the assignment group, their…
Currently, Canvas grade the Multiple Answers questions this way: When creating a "Multiple Answer" question, you can set the total points for the question and assign points for each correct answer. * Point Calculation: Canvas divides the total points by the number of correct answers. Students earn points for each correct…
How can I change the "tag" under a task title? In Module view it shows the assignment and under it the "tags" (not sure the actual term for this) of due date, points possible, and then it says "score at least a 10". The points for the assignment are only 5. I can see how to edit/save points for the assignment and I tried…
If a student has a tab open for an assignment or quiz, and I then unpublish that assignment, quiz, or entire module, the student is still able to access their assignment or quiz and even submit it. I do not want students to be able to access anything once I unpublish a module. The whole point is for them to only be able to…
I know that there is a little blue bubble that identifies someone has shared content with me, but how do I set my notifications so that I get an email alerting me to it?
I just need the play button. Can this be done? I uploaded an mp3. Then added it to a page. But it's displaying in a box like there's a video, but it's only an mp3 audio file. It looks bad on the page. People will expect it to play a video even though it's only an mp3.
So I have a quiz for students. I have tried the following, and I have also attempted to select 'see only once' after each attempt. However, students never seem to be able to view it, and I have verified on their screens that there does not appear to be a way to view it. Am I missing something, or are they? Let Students See…
Has Canvas recently changed their qti format? In the past I could export a quiz that used question groups and import it into Respondus 4. When I do that now I get the error when previewing the file: DynaZip UnZIP error: zip file structure invalid (problem extracting file(s)). I was able to import a quiz qti that did not…
