Will I still be able to access my course material, after I am no longer enrolled as an active student at the school I am currently attending?
I wish I could give you a definitive answer, but it depends on the policies at your institution. At my current school, there's a buffer of a few years before students lose all access to previous courses. However, instructors can also choose to revoke student access at the end of each semester, and some do.
To be safe, I would recommend downloading, saving, or otherwise backing up anything you don't want to lose, like your own work, interesting articles, useful resources, etc. (Edit to add: as @SusenNiemeyer stated below, please check with your instructor before downloading their materials.)
At my community college, students automatically lose access to all of their Canvas courses one week after each semester ends.
When you are enrolling in a course, you are actually paying for a learning experience. If you take, for example, Math 101 in Fall 2022, you can't just keep showing up for Math 101 classes in Spring 2023. This is true whether you are taking Math 101 online or in-person. Therefore, I would advise you to save all of your own work before you lose access to it.
However, you should check with your professor about downloading the materials that he or she has created for the course. Some professors will specifically state that students are not allowed to do this in their syllabus. Even if there is no such statement in your syllabus, I would suggest that you make an inquiry.
My learners often need a proof of enrollment (that shows what class they are enrolling in and when) or a letter of completion (what class they took and their earned grade). Does anyone have any ideas on how this could be automated through Canvas? Currently, they email me for these requests and I generate them manually from…
Hello, Instructure Community, In light of the recent ADA Title II updates, my institution has made the decision to switch from Studio to another video capture tool, Panopto, for more accurate automatic captioning as well as many more desired features for course engagement and content management. From my understanding, the…
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…
