I want to build a page with a sortable table—allowing the students to click on a table header in order to sort the entire table by that column alphabetically/numerically. I've got some experience with HTML and have found some explainers on how to do this, but it doesn't seem to work. Does Canvas presently support sortable…
Hello, my browser used to always begin in 'card view', which was preferable for me. It has recently began starting in 'list view', and I have to manually switch to card view every time I log in. I've looked around in settings but there doesn't seem to be any options for me set my default view. Is there any way to set card…

We have several high school teachers who use total points with weight and adjust their weights midyear. Our courses are set up as a single…
Hello, I would like to introduce myself. My name is Moises (Moses). I am excited to start at UW's Cybersecurity Risk Management course. I opted to take this course after an interview I had, where the pre-interview questions were specific to Risk Management Framework knowledge.
I'm not sure that this is the right place to post about this, but I was wondering if anyone has a fix for how the scroll bar for the entire page covers the scroll bar for just a document viewed in Canvas. The scroll bar for a document will stay visible until one attempts to interact with it, at which point the bar for the…
Hi There, We are in the process of transitioning to Canvas this year and were wanting to connect with any other MYP schools to see how you setup Assignment and grading under your modules. Or you could guide us to any resources you may have.
I am running tests in the Canvas test environment using this subdomain pattern: [clientname].test.instructure.com I created test accounts for a teacher and a student. I was able to log in as the test teacher and manage my test classroom. However, I was not able to use the test student account I created due to this message:…
