Whenever I open a Power Point slide on Canvas, there's this wasted white space at the right side of my screen and I really want to expand the "slides screen" all the way to the right edge to not see any wasted space. Is there a way to do it?
@GigaHertzzz ...
At the top of your PowerPoint presentation, there are a small handful of tool buttons that you can click on. Just to the right of the + and - Zoom buttons, there is a diagonal double-pointed arrow. This will enlarge the PowerPoint to fill most of your screen ... though there still may be some white borders on each side. You can press the "Esc" key on your keyboard to return to your normal course view.
Regarding the white column where the PowerPoint isn't displaying anything. This is actually a setting that is controlled by your school's Canvas administrator(s). It is a Feature Option called "New User Tutorial". My guess is that your Canvas admin(s) do not have this setting enabled. I know this setting sounds unrelated, but if it is enabled, then you will see that a lot of your content in your Canvas courses will fill out more to the edge of the screen rather than showing that white space. If you had a conversation with your school's Canvas admin(s), maybe they would be willing to flip this switch "on". But, keep in mind that turning "New User Tutorial" on would enable it for everyone at your school...not just you and the others in your class...as it affects every class that is in Canvas. This is the admin Guide that you could show your Canvas admin:

I hope this will help a bit. Sing out if you have any other questions about this...thanks!
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???
This is my first time using the new discussion "checkpoints". I'm hoping the multiple due dates are effective, but using the "checkpoints" does seem to create other problems: They only allow for ONE "reply to topic". The way I use discussions in some of my classes is to allow for students to ask MULTIPLE questions per…
I tried the Quick Reassess feature today. Once I approved the questions and created the assessment it went to the tracker for Block 1. But I can't find the new assessment in my assessments to add to Blocks 2 & 4. If I have to recreate for each class, they won't have the same questions. I also cannot find the option to…
Hello, I’m wondering if Differentiation Tags can be configured as part of a Blueprint course. Our goal is to store differentiated content (pages, assessments, etc.) centrally within the Blueprint and have it already associated with specific Differentiation Tags (e.g. Support, Core, Extension). After the Blueprint is…
