My +people button is inactive and I have no idea why. Any suggestions? I need to share the content with another teacher but it won't let me add them to it
@MaureenSacco -
You have to make sure that the course is active. On the settings navigation link, look at the availability dates of the course. If the current date is outside of the range, you will need to change them so that they represent the current dates. I don't think the course needs to be published, but If the dates are valid, and you still can't add then publish the course and try again.
If all of the above is already true, I would contact your canvas administrators at your institution to find out why you cannot add people to a course. I am not an admin, so I do not know if it is possible for them to turn of the +people feature on courses at your institution.

At my community college, I must request permission to add another instructor to my class, and thar instructor has the role of Designer.
The primary concern is student privacy. If the other instructor comes into the class as an Instructor, then he or she would be able to see the students' grades.
The Designer role allows the other instructor access to content, which is all that is needed here.
If your colleague just needs a few items, you can "send" those items without adding him or her to your course. It's very easy to "send" content.
Is there a trick to importing a rubric when using the Canvas rubric template?

Yes, it is still a CSV. I've tried removing all symbols…
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…
