My students write reflections monthly in a discussion thread. Then other students within the class comment on each reflection. I want an easy way to print the entire discussion board. How do I do this? Thanks.
The easiest way to print a discussion is to use your browser's print function. Canvas pages are written so that only the main part of a page is printed (ignoring Global Navigation and Course Navigation), but right-clicking anywhere within your students' thoughtful reflections will ensure this. If it's a graded discussion, selecting the frame that has the students' work before printing will make the printout more complete.
The problem was, the need for an "easy way to print the entire discussion board."
This was not solved. The solution offered will produce one discussion post at a time, or perhaps the remarks of one student at a time. Discussion posts may be used for more than grading but also for helping lead course discussion, or scan all for comprehension.
This solution worked in 2023, but it does not work in 2025. Did Canvas take away this functionality?
Printing discussion threads after you have moved to the "Discussions Redesign" is not possible, at least in my trying it in Chrome, Firefox and Edge. It is not possible to print the entire thread. It is also not possible to use (or force the use of, via prepending the url with about:reader?url=[discussion_url]) Firefox's "Reader Mode" to strip away formatting to print the page.
The crude workaround we found is to "Save Page As.." open the HTML from local storage, the activate Firefox's reader view to strip away formatting and then print from that. This works.
Instructure, this needs to be fixed!
I have Canvas set to drop the lowest quiz score, however, my students can only barely tell that the grade text is slightly grey when dropped. Can it have a tag like the "missing" and "exempt" ones in the student gradebook?
My Canvas shell has three different sections that all meet at different times throughout the week. I need to be able to batch edit assignment due dates by section, but right now Canvas can't filter by section for batch edit. My only option is now to manually (tediously) edit due dates for each assignment individually.
Morning! One of the more frustrating aspects of Canvas are groups and the issues that show up when copying courses that have them. But now we have yet another issue. Most recently we have had instances where people mark an assignment/discussion as a group assignment but then do not link the discussion or assignment to any…
So, we have encountered a few assignments where the Speedgrader presents the teacher with the "Empty Course" page, even though the course is not empty. I have discovered two New Quizzes in the same course where this has occurred, despite multiple students being assigned (at Module level, which passes the permission down to…
A teacher has expressed concerns with the recent update. Exact concern is as follows: "My Canvas has been acting glitchy since the last "update." For instance, when I grade essays the highlight and cursor tools do not always work. I have to try highlighting several times,or come back later to finish. It's told me I "ran…
