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!
With the new SpeedGrader UI, we are seeing student names appear in the page title even when the “Hide student names” setting is enabled. When using Classic Quizzes, there is no option within the quiz settings to enable anonymous grading, so we rely on instructors using the hide student names setting in SpeedGrader to…
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…
The current placement of the "Submit" button creates a "slip" in user behavior where habit-clicking "Next" leads to an accidental final submission. I think Canvas could easily fix this by: Moving the Submit button away from the navigation buttons (maybe above the question instead of below it) and/or Adding a "Confirm…
