Hi all, I have a question about the attendance list on canvas. The way we work now is: We have many groups, and also several teachers who each teach about 2 to 4 groups. We let the students enroll themselves into the group that fits their schedule the best. The teachers must keep the attendance of all students through the…
Hello,I would like to report an inaccurate translation found in the Japanese version of the Canvas LMS interface. The current, misleading Japanese text is: 「書く受講者」 It should be corrected to: 「各受講者」 This translation error appears on the following page/section: [Assignments] A screenshot illustrating the issue is attached…
I was thinking it would be helpful to have a way to save announcements somewhere once they have served their purpose during the course (I use them for both general and specific things and reminders to students about upcoming events or assignments; maybe I'm weird) without having a big long list of them pile up on the…

The Speed Grader view gives me a "Select Rubric" menu, allowing me to toggle between my comments and the peer comments. But the Gradebook's "Bulk Download Rubrics" command generates a CSV file with only the peers'…
I am trying to combine one quiz with another quiz. At the moment, I'm going through each quiz and copying the text one line at a time. Is there a way to do this without manually copying and pasting? I don't want to use item banks. Item banks don't show me the actual questions - it just shows a block of text that says…
I was looking for a tool that lets me see all discussion posts made by one student throughout a term but I couldn't find a discussion post aggregator tool. Is there a way to do that? (I tried checking in Settings; also tried using People to see if I could get to posts under a student name. No luck.)
