Why can't my students see the contents of the units
I have a teacher that is currently on Google Classroom and is needing to migrate to Canvas. Has anyone done this? What tips do you have? Do you have a plan or procedure for doing this?
Hi all, I am on week 2 of a new job where I am tasked with running the pilot program for Canvas. I have used Canvas at a previous institution for a number of years and am fairly comfortable with the benefits. I have not used Blackboard, however, as my previous migration experience was from an internally developed LMS to…
We’re looking at conditionally hiding a link on our canvas course page based on a user id. I have already programmed a mapping in our database so we know which canvas users are which in our own database, and can use this canvas id to conditionally hide it. By law, we have to offer the student a way to opt out of an eBook…
I'm in the beginning stages of creating a high school library Canvas page. All my students will be enrolled. I would love to see some examples of what others have done for inspiration. I know there is so much that could be done here, I just don't know where to start!
Hello fellow Admins: We have a bit of a conundrum with our Canvas/Kaltura integration - particularly with SIS IDs. Our users' SIS IDs changed from a unique alphanumeric "username" to a new 9-digit ID number. Doing so made it easier for us to manage users with regard to other systems/integrations. However, changing the SIS…
Any schools using Workday for their ERP - Student Information System?
I want to migrate my canvas courses and students from one canvas instance installed in AWS (under a sub-account) to a new canvas instance installed in AWS too. What should I have to do?
I've used WebCT, Moodle and Blackboard. In those LMSes I've been able to upload my course files using webdav or ftp. Can I do the same with Canvas?
What's the equivalent of Adaptive release in Blackboard?

If you want to start from the beginning, here's the rest in chronological order: * Preparing Your Canvas: Starting a new LMS * Preparing Your Canvas: In the Trenches * Preparing Your Canvas:…
Hi, I got a script that will migrate content from one course to 1000 new courses. In 1 our of 30 I get this strange error when I look into the process: id : 348 context_id : 412 context_type : User user_id : 412 tag : sync_to_s3_and_save_to_shared_brand_config!_for_5 completion : 5,0 workflow_state : failed created_at :…
Our school is in the process of migrating from Blackboard Canvas. We started about a year ago and we learned a lot. I'd like to share a guide we created. It's written from an instructor's point of view and its purpose is to help instructors, designers, and admins get an idea of what migration from Blackboard to Canvas…
Our campus transitioned from Moodle to Canvas last October. In Moodle, we had had a database activity with hundreds of entries. What tools have you used to replace Moodle's database activity feature, which is not replicated in Canvas? We'd like something that students can easily search and submit text and files to. Thank…
