I’m currently facilitating a course on Canvas in the US, and have to travel to NZ for a month. Will I be able to access my course by using a VPN?
Hi @PattiMorum,
I would say that in general, Canvas should work in New Zealand right now. Instructure generally follows United States regulations, see Which countries are restricted from using Canvas? - Instructure Community . I wouldn't think a VPN would be required either, unless your school's login system has that requirement. With both of these things being said, it's hard to guarantee access since a number of different factors could come in to play. if you know anyone in the location you're traveling to, you could perhaps have them try to access your Canvas site to see if they can at least get a login screen.
Hope this helps. Safe travels on your trip!

I'm not sure that this is the right place to post about this, but I was wondering if anyone has a fix for how the scroll bar for the entire page covers the scroll bar for just a document viewed in Canvas. The scroll bar for a document will stay visible until one attempts to interact with it, at which point the bar for the…
Hi There, We are in the process of transitioning to Canvas this year and were wanting to connect with any other MYP schools to see how you setup Assignment and grading under your modules. Or you could guide us to any resources you may have.
After using Canvas for a while, I picked up a small habit that’s saved me some last-minute stress with written submissions. Even when drafts are original, longer explanations and summaries tend to reuse common phrasing, especially in research-heavy assignments. Before submitting, I usually do a quick cleanup pass to reduce…
