Students and faculty are unable to subscribe to a discussion, even though they have updated their notification settings and they are not required to post first.
The option to subscribe is "greyed" out.
Thank you @KimberlyStockin for including that screenshot. I was able to replicate your problem with some specific steps:
When these three things were true, a student user is unable to subscribe to the discussion. An instructor user still can, however.
I realize the first item in my list is contrary to what you reported, but when I changed the discussion so post first was turned off (and left the until date in the past), the student user could subscribe. I even tried changing the course dates so it ended prior to today and concluding the course. In all attempts, the discussions are still subscribable. Finally, I turned off notifications for the course but the subscribe button was no longer grey.
I can think of two options now. One is whether there are user permissions and course settings that are not the same between the instance of Canvas I'm using and yours, and there are lots of options. The other is to contact the Canvas help desk via the Help menu in your Canvas instance. That will get it to the tech support team. It would be great if their vigilance extended to the Canvas Question Forum, alas it does not.
I'm going to mark this reply as a solution. I realize it does not solve your problem, but our colleagues who have a similar critique will also find the best way to pass on the feedback.
We are working on a project to import grades from Canvas into Banner. During the testing phase we discovered a few students who show the correct grade in the gradebook but when we pull Canvas Data the grade is different. When we go to the gradebook and export grades we get the same incorrect grade as Canvas Data. When we…
Hello, I am using a course outcome as a rubric for a written assignment. I would like to be able to add a description under scoring criteria that helps define what the assignment should include in order to "Exceed Expectations" for example. Rubrics are used by students to help guide their responses and they should have an…
Hi everyone… Has anyone else run into issues with SAML authentication not working, but only on their beta instance? Our production and test sites are fine, but we manage a number of different Canvas instances and every one of them that uses SAML authentication (with either Okta or Microsoft Entra) has not worked for a…
ETA: never mind! I had done my "testing" in the wrong quiz, which was a Classic Quiz quiz. I just tried again in the correct (migrated) new quiz, and I see now that the "file upload" question type DOES show the image in SG! — I rarely use Canvas quizzes, but am teaching a new asynch class this semester. I want students to…
In the "How do I use the Learning Mastery Gradebook" page, under "Student scores" (https://community.instructure.com/en/kb/articles/660932-how-do-i-use-the-learning-mastery-gradebook-to-view-outcome-results-in-a-course#view-student-scores), the displayed gradebook shows a little colorful square and also points for each…
