I have a multi-part question. I have quizzes that allow unlimited attempts (since they pull from a very large question set) with the highest score showing in the gradebook. I also set a due date, but only because I had assumed that even if a student took it "late" their previous attempts earning a top score will remain in…
With the new Cidilabs design tool, it's now possible to create more interactive content such as fill-in-the-gap activities and quick quizzes, which is a great enhancement for learner engagement. I was wondering if these interactive elements are tracked in course analytics? I'm always looking for ways to gather data and…

When some students go to access our Canvas page, they get a page saying invalid URL.

I haven't been able to find a view or dashboard to show this information at the root or subaccount…

When reassigning a quiz to an individual student as an accommodation, an instructor accidentally unassigned everyone else from the quiz and the scores disappeared from Gradebook. Can the instructor just reassign the quiz to everyone to recover the scores, or does the Canvas admin need to be contacted?
I'd like to be able to cap the score for one category at 100%. (I use weighted categories for overall grade calculations.) This category contains assignments where students can work ahead (by doing extra tasks one week) so that they have a cushion if they need to take a break the following week. As of right now, I have a…
I opened my MOD 8 quiz. As soon as I opened it. It said my time was up and it shut down. I didn't get to take the quiz.
