Hello-
I have copied an assignment to each module but when I try to update the name of the assignment, it changes all the assignments that were copied.
Here's the situation. Each individual assignment must have a distinct name.
Therefore, let's say that your students will complete a journal assignment each week. Then if there are 15 weeks in the semester, you need to create 15 different assignments. Each one must have a different name: Week 1 Journal, Week 2 Journal, Week 3 Journal, and so on.....
When I set up a course like this, I will use the "duplicate" function to create these assignments as I don't want to type out the instructions 15 times. That being said, I still must fix the names.
Note - It is possible to have one assignment show up in multiple modules. Let's say that I want the students to have access in the "Semester Project" assignment for three weeks. I can simply add "Semester Project" to all three weekly module. In that case, I have just ONE ASSIGNMENT. If I make any change to the assignment in Week 1, the changes will appear in Weeks 2 and 3.

When you are creating a quiz and/or also reviewing a quiz in Canvas after the class has taken it, the questions aren't numbered so after you get past the first few questions, there is no way to even tell what number you are on. Can someone change that?
Speedgrader chaning file name when being downloaded. Speedgrader: When downloading a submitted assignment, the file name is being changed to an unrecognizable name — (Student's actual name was part of the file name — changed for privacy.) Ideas???
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…
