I'm trying to upload a document from my google drive that has fillable text boxes. (i.e. here's a question, answer it in the box below, etc.). This is an assignment. I want students to open the assignment, respond, and then submit the assignment. Each student has his/her own document and responses.

But when I look in the Assignments list, the assignment is marked as 0 points. Students getting full credit have…

We just discovered that we (IDs, Learners, and Faculty) are all unable to view images within any course if they are using the Safari web browser. We checked other browsers and images all appear just fine, it's just in Safari that this is happening. Has anyone else experienced this? Or know of a fix? They had been working…
Looking for any ideas on possible causes of an LTI access problem. One student trying to access my Java server on his laptop sends a bad LTI request.
