Question or Suggestion I work in Higher Education and at our school the profile pictures that appear in the LMS are the same ones that are on student ID's. As we are setting up our new Canvas site I was told that this is not possible in Canvas. Individual users can upload their profile pictures, but as an Admin there is…
I have a student reporting that when she takes a test (Canvas New Quiz, timed) on her MacBook, using Google Chrome as her browser that "every time she clicks a text box to provide an answer, the cursor unclicks and goes to the next question." I (the instructor) am also using a MacBook Pro and Edge (or Chrome) as my…
All of our students do not finish at the same time. Some of them require extensions to the 3-month limit for class. How do I "close out" the students who finish so they are no longer in our count? I have been Deactivating them, but I don't know if that is correct.

In the past, a message popped up that I had unsaved edits, but this time that didn't happen when I closed a tab inadvertently (with Canvas still open). Is there a trick for recovering my edits? In this case, it is a dscussion I was editing.

Spell check is somehow disabled, how can I re-engage?
Where can I locate Turnitin to check my assignment before submission?
Thanks in advance to reading my question. We created several groups for our students to collaborate. Now if you go to the home page of the group project, you'll see that it's possible to make announcements. Is it possible to: * Disable that option (for everyone or for the students)? * Disable the notifications of that…
Hello, My name is Jeremy Brown. I’m writing because I’ve had the most challenging time finding feedback from my instructors and seeing reply’s from my classmates for our classroom discussions. I do get a notification saying that my instructors have given feedback, but to view it is like climbing Mount Everest in the…
