I have a teacher who created a course announcement for each day of school. Today, 10/15/25, is day 35. When he woke this morning, all previous announcements in his course were gone. I looked before he added his morning announcement, and the Announcement course navigation button showed the "grayed eye" indicating no…

I've noticed that more and more often these little banner notifications appear when I do things in my course shells. Add a folder? "Folder created successfully." Delete an assignment? "Assignment deleted successfully." And my personal favorite, add an announcement and schedule it to post later? Get an immediate…
Gemini (AI) helped me write the code for a web page that has embedded in it an interactive quiz we made, and room for other interactive assignments. I would like to prepare an assignment in Canvas that opens that web page. How do I do that? All I have right now is the code. I've asked Gemini to optimize the code for use in…
