Dear Forum members, In the past, I asked students to hide some worksheets in the Excel files they would upload to Canvas. I was only interested in the results of their Excel analysis, and asked students to hide the worksheets with raw data in them. This worked until last Fall, but now SpeedGrader is rendering all…
I haven't been a Canvas admin for close to a decade but I'm still regularly receiving tech support status updates like below with no option to unsubscribe. Any idea how I would unsubscribe? Blocking all email from support@instrucure seems like a bad idea (I still sometimes use Canvas to teach) but that's the only other…
I'm looking for ideas on how to best reach this goal. I would like to create a course, add a section to that course for every month of the school year (our school year is 11 months), and then have those 11 sections start on 11 different dates throughout the school year, so that students have 11 different opportunities to…
Hello, We are experiencing an issue with Canvas activity tracking. Even though our instructor has spent more than 25 hours working in Canvas, the system is not accurately recording the time. It only tracks the first few minutes (around 3 minutes) and then stops unless they manually interact with the screen, such as moving…
It's insane that I have to use a third-party extension to get desktop dark mode for Canvas. What is this, 2018? Especially if it's already available on mobile, what are we even waiting for? This is just ridiculous, there's posts from BEFORE COVID that have been asking for this! PATHETIC.

Suggestion: IB and AP are moving to all digital. Currently, if we want peer reviews for in class essays, we have to use the assignment feature. Could we use the quizzes feature so we can use the lockdown browser AND also assign peer reviews? This would help support the integrity of the timed essay.
I've had some faculty ask if could block agentic browsers such as Comet, ChatGPT Atlas, and Dia from being able to access Canvas. Have any schools taken a stance on this? Has Instructure mentioned any technical controls around this topic? I was unable to find any articles in a quick search, other than requiring LDB for all…
