I can control the date and time an announcement starts to by using the "delay posting" option. How do I stop an announcement's display?
Hi @GeorgeCollier ...
Unfortunately, announcement end dates aren't a "thing" in Canvas right now. I know a lot of people have wanted this kind of feature for course announcements, so I'd like to point you to a handful of links:
The first link is part of a larger theme (the second link I provided) for course announcements. When taking a look at the second link, under the heading "Referenced Ideas", you'll see a link to the "Start and End Dates" idea (the first link I provided). I'll encourage you to follow these ideas so that if/when the ideas open for voting in the future, you'll be able to participate in that process and any conversations around the idea. See the section on "Ideas and Themes" here: Community - Instructure Community (canvaslms.com).
I know this might not be an exact answer to your question, but I hope it helps in some way.
Hi @GeorgeCollier ,
If you want to stop an Announcement from displaying while retaining it for potential future use, you can edit the Announcement and use the "delay posting" option to set it for a date well in the future. If/when you are ready to use it again, you can set the date for when you want it to re-appear for users. Unfortunately, as @Chris_Hofer pointed out, there is no way (yet?) to do this automatically; you need to manually edit the post.
Whenever possible, I prefer to have my students take in-class quizzes and tests on their laptops. But to make sure that they do it in the classroom, I've always put a password on the assessment and then given them the password. That way they can't take it somewhere else on their own (or somewhere else, not on their own).…
Known issue - headings Just wanted to note that this known issue is described as 'styling', when it is actually an accessibility issue. Headings are structure on the page and essential for users who rely on screenreaders.
It is possible to import tags or other metadata when importing in a QTI file? I've tried everything I can think of, but it seems to get stripped out every time. Are any metadata types allowed? I can bring in a batch of tags questions or manually tag each one. Tagging each one is not an option. I'm using New Quizzes, so I…
I'm testing whether Mastery Paths can be used to give students early access to an item based on their score, while making the same item available to everyone else on a later date. Here is my setup: A 4-point assignment is the source for the Mastery Path. Students scoring 75–100% are assigned a Solutions item. The Solutions…
I am a physics teacher at a high school. I love to use the random generation of formula questions to give each student a unique quiz/test. However, units in physics are extremely important. In the past I have also used Moodle as an LMS and they included a feature that could grade the units listed after the numerical…
