I have a quiz that the students have already taken. I would like to change two questions such that they are worth zero, and any students who got any amount of points >0 on them get those as bonus questions. For the one question (a matching question) I was able to do this by making the question simply worth zero and then…

According to the Canvas help, I should be getting a box where I can choose the type of assignment. And there should be a type that allows uploads. When I create an assignment, I have no choice at all and students…
Hi, I hope this is the forum to provide feedback. It would be nice to be able to press the "space" keyboard button to play/pause embedded videos throughout the canvas learning material as a student
I can't log in with my Canvas account. I created the account with a join code. I am sure that the email and password I used is correct as I have notes. When I try to forget password, it doesn't send any email no matter how long I wait. When I tried logging in through google (same gmail), it's a new different account. The…
