I am using Graded Check point for the first time this semester and there are a few problems. 1. My Discussion Assignments have been duplicated and in the Speed Grader they are also duplicated but all on the same assignment number. And the total points do not add up. 2. I put dates in for topic due date and reply due date…
I use rubrics without points (or marking). I have the 'remove points from rubric' selected on all. of my rubrics. At some point yesterday all my rubrics started to show points. I haven't changed anything and now I can't remove the points. The check box is still selected to have them removed. They don't show in the…
I see other comments and have followed the solution to adding a second student. However, where does the pairing code come from. I have not received one from any of the teachers and when I asked them during Back to School night, the teachers were unaware of how to generate a pairing code. The other students I am trying to…
Is there a way for Canvas to add an easier way to disable access codes? During class I have an access code so students cannot work ahead. After class I take the code off. Doing this for multiple courses in Canvas daily is a pain and I often forget. That adjustment would make a great, positive difference in my life if I…
I would like to make sure the assignment is correct before posting. I know I can do this in other ways, but seeing it on the screen before posting in Canvas would be helpful and reassuring versus just the title. A lot of professors want our name as the first part of the assignment and that can get confusing and create…

Dear colleauges, In Canvas, I would like students to create a photo competition, which the students will grade themselves by voting for photos that other students upload. The most simple idea is that each student can vote for their favourite photo that was uploaded by others, only one vote per student and the photo with…
I'm unable to print my students' responses/results in the new Canvas quizzes. Whenever I click "Print Results" and select the font size, it shows it's loading the print preview, then nothing happens. I've tried on multiple devices as well as in both Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox. Here's a screen recording of the issue…
I accidentally reassigned an assignment to a student. How do I unreassign it? I do not need the student to redo it.
Any one know how to get the content of the course displayed as a full screen instead of this half thing?
