i am new to canvas and online learning. the course work for my class is in pdf form. our quizzes are open "book". How do i use canvas to search for my key words in order to answer the questions? thanks
My suggestion is that you read the entire PDF. Just searching for key words to answer questions is a really lazy way to study.
The more you invest in your learning, the more you will learn.
@KatherineAnder1 -
IN addition to what @SusanNiemeyer mentioned, you can teach yourself how to do what you want by using an internet search on how to find things in a pdf file.
By the way, I remember when the city schools here decided to give every student a chrome book so that they could all have pdf versions of their text books. The son of someone I know was doing his homework and his mom asked what he was doing - the response "Just searching for the answer in the pdf - I don't want to read the rest of it". I understand that philosophy and it is something I would have probably done as well. However, you may be short changing your education and learning techniques.

I am setting up my courses for this year and I realized that when I opend the mastery-based gradebook, there is no color coding. When I open last years's course that had color-coding last time I opened it in the spring, it no longer has colors. The colors appear in the individual student view, but not in the all class view.
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…
