We use Canvas in our courses, and overall it works very well. I am very satisfied with the platform. However, I have noticed a minor issue with navigation within modules. It is easy to move between pages using the “Previous” and “Next” buttons. However, there are many situations where one wants to quickly navigate to…
Hi, If I make a change in a Blueprint course, will that change be applied to courses in a concluded term?
Greetings, I have found contradictory answers about this online. When resetting a course, do the Course ID & Course Listing remain? Is there anything special one must do to have it retain these items - or to restore these items, after resetting a Canvas Course Shell's content. Thanks!
SpeedGrader allows you to draft comments and edit those draft comments. The Performance and Usability Upgrades version does not allow the editing of comments. Are there plans for feature parity? I thought the upgraded SpeedGrader already allowed for draft comments, but I must be wrong. When I reported this to support, they…
Howdy, Folks.

Why don't we add minecraft music in the background for a more soothing experience. This will engage students more, and create a better environment. Obviously it doesn't have to be og minecraft music, but any classical piano music would be perfect for this sight, in my opinion. What do you think?

Which usually accomplished with an URL ending in */courses/12345 (for A, say) and */courses/12346 (for B, say). When I roll over both modules to year Z with codes 23456 for A and 23459 for B, those links will become obsolete and…
Hello I have a student in a course that is transferring from one course to another. The courses are the same in essence but one is slightly newer with some improvements. The student has completed some work in the original course, how can I transfer them to the new course (and section) including their previously completed…
I've been in lots of discussions with colleagues about rubrics and the way academics construct them (eg. points vs ranges, type of grading scheme, format of criterion descriptions and rating descriptions, has the "Use this rubric for assignment grading" setting been selected, how many criterions is common, what is the…
I have a group of assignments worth 15% in a class using weighted grades. Faculty want the assignments in this particular group to be pass/fail, but I'm concerned that won't give the gradebook any way to calculate the average weighted grade for this group. -Do I have to give all of these assignments point values to ensure…
