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.
A colleague asked me how to reuse the questions from the 14 quizzes he has already created as a large question pool to draw questions from for a cumulative exam. Each of the 14 quizzes has multiple question groups, and none of them was linked to a question bank at the time of creation. The best thing I could find is the…
Summary:The Learning Mastery Gradebook allows drag-and-drop reordering of outcome columns, and this triggers a call to /api/v1/courses/:course_id/assign_outcome_order.

Hi all, Quick question about the Gradebook color status for a 2-part checkpoint discussion. If a student completes the first due date (initial post) but does not complete the required replies by the second due date, is there any way for Canvas to automatically show a color (e.g., missing/late) instead of staying as…
We have recently encountered an issue where two students were unable to see the "Take the Quiz" button. These students were taking different exams for different courses within our Testing Center. Both exams required Respondus LockDown Browser and were restricted to specific IP addresses. In both cases, the students were…
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…
