Anyone ever use a formula question to create a fraction math problem with variables for the fractions? I'd like the answers produced to be in fraction form as well. I'm able to create it using the equation editor for the question stem, but the actual formula does not have this ability to create mixed number formulas and…
This has been going on for 3 semesters now…apparently it's a bug in the system, but I'd love to know when it will be fixed. After I enter a grade in Speed Grader, I look back onto Gradebook and some students' grades simply show the assignment icon. If I right-click on it, the actual points appear, but then disappear after…
There are so many irritating places where multiple clicks are needed to do simple. Often a single box would solve the problem. For example, not submitting a comment. What do you think I do when I press cancel? I'm going to go back find the submit button (that was probably just slightly out of view to begin with) submit it…
Is there a way to show only the overall grade a submission received? We have students rotate through a set of assignments over a few weeks and would like to give them an overall grade as soon as possible. But we want to hide the specific feedback until everyone has done a particular assignment. I have found the grade…

The assignment has Turnitin enabled through the "Plagiarism Review" option in the assignment settings so I assume it's related. When you click the button you get the following popup,…

My learners often need a proof of enrollment (that shows what class they are enrolling in and when) or a letter of completion (what class they took and their earned grade). Does anyone have any ideas on how this could be automated through Canvas? Currently, they email me for these requests and I generate them manually from…
If I put a student who is missing a lot of work in a new section that I create within the same course- can she have different close dates
