While I have set the correct timezone in the course settings (Eastern), student accounts default to Mountain (in Free for Teachers). So do the assignment due-dates automatically compensate for this? We're all in Eastern Time.
Thanks!
Hello @KnightlyScribe ...
I recommend that you let your students know as soon as possible that they set their own time zone so they have an accurate display of when assignments are due to be submitted to you. For students, you can give them a link to this Guide:
For you (instructor), there should be two places that you can set time zones. One is at the course level. The other is at your user account level. So, for example, since you live in the Eastern Time Zone, you would set both to "Eastern Time".
If you had a student taking your course that lived in the Central Time Zone, for example, the student would set the time zone appropriately, and Canvas would figure all of that out so there is no confusion.
I hope this will help a bit. Sing out if you have any questions...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.

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???
We are all familiar with the standard Course Calendar, where assignment due dates are automatically added. However, at my institution, we structure our assignments as Challenges that develop over a period of time, rather than just a single deadline. Currently, the calendar only highlights the "end point." It would be a…
