How do I post PDFs so students can access readings?
Hi there, @ScottMartin ...
You can add PDFs to content pages in your course, and you can have them automatically display on the page as soon as students view the page in your course. Or, they can click on a link on the page to have the PDF open up. I'll leave that up to you, but here is a great Guide to get you started:
And, in case you're not familiar with how to upload files to your course "Files" area of your course, here are a couple Guides for that, too. I've included a Guide for creating folders in case you want to keep your files organized:
Another way to do this is to add the PDF file directly as a module item to any given module. However, this way doesn't really allow you to add any other text above or below the document in case you wanted to provide some additional details along with the document for your students to read. See the sectdion on "Upload File" here:

Hoping someone can explain for me. We're using pacing to avoid manually dating regular assignments each quarter, but the dates I see are based on when the course was instantiated, while students see dates based on when they were added to the course by [backend software I don't know anything about, presumably]. If I set…

For example, user 1 is xyz@gmail.com without a…
Canvas Portfolios provide a powerful platform for students to document their learning journey, reflect on their progress, and showcase competencies. However, in programs where multiple educators are involved in assessment—such as team teaching, moderation, or competency-based evaluation—there are important questions about…
I have a student that was in a tag called "ac" and recently moved him to a different tag, "AC." I did ensure the old tag was removed; however on a canvas PAGE he sees both pages the "ac" and "AC" Canvas Pages. I removed the assigned tags to the page and the one tag to the student thinking maybe if I remove and reassign…
