How can I delete a column in the gradebook but NOT the assignment? I have to deploy the "assignment" from McGraw Hill Connect, but it's not to be graded. It's worth 0- points but automatically creates a column in the gradebook I don't want this.
I would like students who missed an in class assignment be able to see the questions on the in class assignment without submitting it for points. I do not have a late penalty on my assignments because I allow them to complete the online (out of class) assignments all semester. I would love to be able to assign different…
Creating a submission via quiz but was wondering if the students can record right from the quiz rather than uploading a video they created (on their phone)?
I completed the modules for the self-paced course, however, I cannot manage to locate my certificate of completion. I am supposed to receive it automatically via email, which has not occurred, and at the end of my final module I am referred to a link to an article on the instructure site with generic information on how to…

I'm trying to use the Canvas speedgrader, but when I open it up the comments section is taking up the whole page as shown in the screenshot below. It seems like the pdf is behind the grading screen. Before it used to be split up where half the page would be the pdf submission and the other half would be the section in the…
