Working through creating New Quiz Items through the API. I am able to create a New Quiz and then add an item. The item appears on the Build page. However, when I edit the question, the Question stem is blank. Not sure what is going wrong?
Reaching out to my fellow Admins: We discovered that a feature we had in the Assignments area to show checkboxes of some common filetypes when teachers opt to restrict file uploads apparently isn't the core Canvas feature that we thought it was. That's relevant because it just broke, and we have no idea where it came…
Currently, we are integrating our application with the Canvas API to manage student assessments and feedback. However, we have encountered a specific need that we cannot fulfill with the functionalities currently available in the Canvas API. In our evaluation process, when a student receives a below-average grade, we would…
My institution recently integrated our Canvas instance with Copyleaks. I already utilize the Canvas API for a few things in my courses. One of those things is creating and editing assignments. I would like to update my use of the API to mimic the behavior of creating/editing a course using a browser and selecting the…
I think this is a bug that held up our quota_purge applications the other day. The file was valid in files... I have seen in past on failed download and chunk left behind end in .part and still have a file size attached to the .part. But I will leave this here hopefully to save some poor soul from spending hours trying to…
Hello everyone! I am trying to pull all announcements for a course via the announcement api, but I cannot get it to pull anything besides the last three. Even if I set the page_per high, I only get the last three. Here are two iterations of my api call: api/v1/announcements?context_codes=course_[XXX]&page=1&page_per=100…
Our institution has a Start Here module that we use in every course offered. We have the master copy in our course template which gets placed in every new course created. Unfortunately, our fall courses have already been created and faculty have begun working on them. We have had to make several significant changes since…
I'm trying to fetch data from Canvas into my application by establishing the connection using the developer API key. I have enabled the scope and selected the following endpoints: Accounts url:GET|/api/v1/accounts Terms url:GET|/api/v1/accounts/:account_id/terms Courses url:GET|/api/v1/accounts/:account_id/courses Course…
Newbie here. With a minimal coding background - I am curious about the best way to get CSS started in a new theme & new subaccount to enhance the student experience. Any help is greatly appreciated! @James I've run across multiple posts where you have shared detailed knowledge over implementation of CSS - in case you'd…
Is there anyway to fetch course material file contents for example all the files under modules for the class using a Canvas LTI key?
I'm writing a course extension process and am stuck at this step. Currently the way we extend courses beyond course/term dates is through the GUI in this manner (luckily they are few and far between): - create a new section in the course and assign the new end date to it - check the box that limits student access -…
Howdy! I'm currently on an adventure to deploy course rubrics from a central course and apply them to courses that need them. I am trying to accomplish using the Content Exports and Content Migration APIs. I can get the entire course to export, but I am trying to export just the rubrics, ideally specific rubrics. The body…
Hi, all. I have been trying for literal weeks to get JavaScript to fire in Canvas using event listeners -- no taboo HTML tags -- and I can't seem to get it to work. The JS works fabulously on other servers, but something about the way Canvas calls it is throwing an error that the properties haven't loaded. (For those who…
Hello, I am new to the API and DAP. Is there any easy way to calculate current marks for students? It sounds simple but it looks like a complicated calculation, roughly the average of all required assignments mapped to a mark using the grading scheme for the section. Is there a handy GitHub repo that I can leverage? Thanks…
I have my own self hosted instance of Canvas for development testing of the Canvas API. I created a developer key and followed step 1 for rerouting the user to Canvas for authentication. I am led to the Canvas instance page and asked to input my login credentials as expected. The problem arises after I enter my credentials…
