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.
I am setting up my courses for this year and I realized that when I opend the mastery-based gradebook, there is no color coding. When I open last years's course that had color-coding last time I opened it in the spring, it no longer has colors. The colors appear in the individual student view, but not in the all class view.
Hoping someone can explain for me. We're using pacing to avoid manually dating regular assignments each quarter, but the dates I see are based on when the course was instantiated, while students see dates based on when they were added to the course by [backend software I don't know anything about, presumably]. If I set…
Has anyone else had issues with an influx of duplicate users in Canvas? Ours is currently in the form of an email that already exists, becoming a new user - and not automatically merging with the user ID with the same email that also is linked to our SIS ID correctly as well. For example, user 1 is xyz@gmail.com without a…
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…
I have a student that was in a tag called "ac" and recently moved him to a different tag, "AC." I did ensure the old tag was removed; however on a canvas PAGE he sees both pages the "ac" and "AC" Canvas Pages. I removed the assigned tags to the page and the one tag to the student thinking maybe if I remove and reassign…
