I am having a difficult time operating the computer to view lectures, assignments, and contacting the instructors
Hi @jhayes14,
Have you reviewed some of the student guides available in the community? You've laid out a few different areas you're having trouble with, but this is a global community of Canvas users so we can't see your specific course and how it's set up. There are many ways instructors can do things, so it's hard to tell you exactly where you need to go in a specific course. I definitely recommend reaching out to your teacher, but since you indicated you're having trouble there you may want to reach out to your local helpdesk. It looks like you may attend Del Mar College, and if that is the case, there is contact information for their helpdesk at the bottom of their Canvas page.
I hope this helps a bit!

The most recent quizzes and question banks (including renames) are not showing up as options in the Course Import Tool. As I was creating a new quiz in one course (Classic), I went to add the questions from the Question Bank, but what I needed wasn't there. I went back to the other course to make sure everything was…
In the wake of the recent Canvas security incident, many instructors are rethinking how they protect their course materials and ensure continuity for students if the LMS becomes unavailable. A common question we’re hearing is how to effectively back up courses “just in case,” especially with an eye toward re‑distributing…
Hi all, Quick question about the Gradebook color status for a 2-part checkpoint discussion. If a student completes the first due date (initial post) but does not complete the required replies by the second due date, is there any way for Canvas to automatically show a color (e.g., missing/late) instead of staying as…
