Inserting images uploaded from my computer in a message shows up as a link in the message and not the actual image . Clicking on the link downloads it back on to my computer. How can I resolve this?

What you are describing is expected behavior. Canvas Inbox is a messaging system, not a full email client. For example, it doesn't have the full text editor functions that other pages in Canvas include. When you attach images they are treated the same as a document or video file would be, that is, a file to be downloaded.
If this is a message that you want to send to the everyone enrolled you might prefer to send an announcement which will allow you to insert an image with the text.
See the linked guide for Inbox attachments.

We are all familiar with the standard Course Calendar, where assignment due dates are automatically added. However, at my institution, we structure our assignments as Challenges that develop over a period of time, rather than just a single deadline. Currently, the calendar only highlights the "end point." It would be a…
