Could anyone please tell me if there is an option in courses for teachers or at the account level for admins to turn of What-If grades for students? Thank you in advance! fingers crossed
I developed a Discussion, and it shows when I click on Discussions, but when I go to my module to upload it, the discussion does not show. I have gone back and forth but cannot locate the discussion in the upload box. I have had this happen several times for Assignments and Discussions but, normally, I just have to go back…
I'm taking a medical coding course. I'm using "reading mode." Every time the text comes to the abbreviation for "doctor" — DR — reading mode reads DR as DRIVE unless DR is at the beginning of a sentence or directly after a comma. It's really annoying and disconcerting. Is there any way that reading mode for "DR" in a…
I have had this issue, despite entering their grades as A, B, C etc. Does anyone know how I can fix this so students receive correct grades?

This one was a conversation as much as a demo. @Renee Carney welcomed @Daniel Guillot and @JostLeavell for a session that moved from course evaluation to exit ticket automation to transcript-to-lesson in under 30 minutes.…

We have been using the class="enhanceable_content tabs" to create a functional 'unit content' homepage for our courses. Overnight our tabs no longer work. As far as I can tell, it is due to that specific reference no longer finding what it's referencing. I dug through instructure's code and found they had based it on…
When we do the final assessment/calculation, it is only visible at the very top, which means one has to scroll up to see the student’s score. Personally, I override the pre-calculated scores often, and so I value being able to easily see the total scores. It would be even better if we could see a running calculation as we…
We are looking to the Portfolio option but I have a few things I am not sure of that would be crucial to be able to apply the way it is needed. One, can you have the portfolio follow the student through the entire program (five total semesters) seamlessly or is it just going to be one semester? We have a clinical portfolio…
Good morning community. I want to know how to merge courses in Canvas. We are migrating from Blackboard to Canvas. I would often get requests to merge courses in Blackboard. Is there a feature or setting that I need to successfully merge courses in Canvas?

Is there a reasonably straightforward way to get a list of all missing assignments for a given student in the current term across all of their classes rather than within a single class? It's simple to do it within a given class by going to the table in Course Analytics and sorting by assignment status, but it would be…

Since we launched Canvas Portfolios last year, four pieces of feedback came through front and center. Bringing an assignment into a portfolio meant syncing it from Canvas: a linked reference, not evidence of its own. The Rich Content Editor held only plain text and files, with no room for a video, a board, or anything…
