When creating a Google LTI assignment --
When you limit the number of assignment attempts, are submission attempts actually limited when using a third party application like Google LTI or is it just for Canvas assignments?
Hi @MsZ1,
While it may not be universally true, the way I've seen the external tools we have for assignments behave is that the external tool will work and will let the student go through whatever their motions for a submission are, and it will generally appear to work, but the canvas side will not accept the submission/score transfer from the tool once the submission limit has been hit. From the tech side, I understand exactly why the workflow is what it is, but it can be confusing for students because they don't really get locked out of making more submissions. There are a few LTI tools that have their own submission limiting system too, which will usually work better but is setup in the tool itself. My general advice to our faculty is to allow unlimited submissions on the canvas side when using an external tool assignment.
Hope this helps a bit!

After the cyber attack, some of my embedded images aren't showing up in quizzes. It seems to just be one of my classes, in particular, and the others were fixed on Monday. Anybody know what 3 of my classes were fixed, but the fourth one (Geometry) won't show the images in the quizzes?
Hi everyone, I've got several pages and assignments where I use frames to embed videos and interactive resources. But whenever I go into editing, the formatting in some of them breaks down: the video size shrinks down, or I'm left with an empty blank space. I think I've narrowed down the cause of this issue: Some of these…
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…
