How do I delay Announcements copied from a previous semester. I understand how to delay new Announcements, but not copied ones.
@KarenaBenskin , currently, the only way to delay a copied announcement would be to edit the announcement and set a date in the future. Several years ago, I advocated for a publish/unpublish feature for copied announcements, but it was never implemented.
For this reason, I exclude announcements when I copy a course and keep a OneNote notebook with announcements I use ever semester.
I hope that helps!
Many faculty members have been requesting a consistent feature from Canvas to be able to publish/unpublish announcement pages on specific dates or remove all dates when they are copies. Unfortunately, it seems that Canvas is not listening to its community. As a result, we have to choose between keeping the announcements outside of Canvas or dealing with the chaotic manner in which they are copied. It would be great if announcements could work like a page with the option to set them to be published by a specific date.
I agree it would be SO helpful if Canvas would fix this. The Announcements Redesign doesn't fix this at all as best I can tell.
Anyone have a better idea for the "outside Canvas" part than just a Word doc? I have a doc for each class with all the announcements I regularly use but it can be a pain to scroll through, even if I try to keep them in roughly chronological order of when I'll post them. I'm thinking some kind of organization of the file or maybe even a flashcard or database type system? I'm not very fluent in organizational apps so I don't know if this would even help in the way I'm thinking of. I'll look at OneNOte that someone mentioned and see if that would help. TIA!
We have begun noticing issues with Assignments that utilise LTI tools. Some tools treat a submission deadline as including the entire minute specified, rather than up to that minute. eg. The LTI tool accepts a configured 11:59 as up to 11:59:59. Whereas Canvas treats the deadline as 11:59:00. Why does this matter? Well,…
Is having students read the textbook considered an assignment or an activity if there is no grade but a required date?
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…
Has anyone else had issues with an influx of duplicate users in Canvas? Ours is currently in the form of an email that already exists, becoming a new user - and not automatically merging with the user ID with the same email that also is linked to our SIS ID correctly as well. 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…
