* Hello to all and thanks for any help anyone can provide. As recently as the end of the 24/25 school year in June, when my students turned in an assignment I would use my Canvas iPhone app to look at student grades and record them into my gradebook on my laptop. I teach 5 sections of the same class. Previously I could go…
Hello, I am a student and my to do list suddenly says "Nothing for now" in card view, even though the assignments are viewable in the course page and on list view. I have not changed any settings, and this problem happens on multiple PC browsers and devices. I have tried logging out of my account, shutting the devices…
I'm a teacher that makes extensive use of Outcomes and alignments. The assignment view of my gradebook is pretty meaningless to students, and all of the information about growth and mastery of different learning objectives in the class is displayed in the Learning Mastery gradebook. Unfortunately, they can't see this view…
Hey Canvas Instructure team, Recently I got a forced update on my Canvas IOS app, now my To-Do list is completely butchered. No longer do I have the red bubble on my app that lets me know how many things I have to do-which really was one of my saving graces for assignments and assessments. Now, I have to see every…
One of my courses is gray on the home page and it has a lock where the grades normally are. It seems I can, however, access the content. My professor and the school's Canvas help desk are being unhelpful, telling me they have no idea what it could be. So can someone tell me what the gray course means and how to solve it?…
Hello Instructure team. I just noticed that this new canvas update has a major flaw with the to-do list system. I can’t swipe done on any of them and the little red bubble doesn’t show on the app to tell me what I have completed. I literally have to scroll through all my assignments for the year to figure out what to…
Over the past two days or so, I have noticed a change to the Canvas Student app that has caused trouble to my classmates as well as to myself regarding the “to-do” feature. Now when I click on “to-do”, I see completed assignments and as I try to swipe them away to mark them as done, I am unable to. This new feature causes…
Once the app is downloaded, currently we are unable to log into the app. Its asks for the school name and we are not affiliated with a school. I read that the staff/students should have access to the app in the free version but as of now we can only log in VIA the web.
How do we go about changing the options so that everyone can adjust Canvas to their liking when it comes to the To Dos? I was highly organized with the previous way the To Dos worked: Sunday-Sunday, a set number of To Dos and once completed, if the info didn't transfer to the App, I was able to mark it as done. Now, I just…
Anyone else out there start having quite a few reports of students being logged out of the Canvas app (As in on next open of Canvas app on iPad it will ask for School ...) after app updates on iOS 18.5.x+ iPads to 8.01/8.1? This is starting to become a somewhat common issue being reported with some Teachers reporting that…
