I am am a professor. I normally can see student discussion posts. For some reason, today I can't see them, even though Canvas says that there are seventeen of them. Help please. Thanks.

Hi @KennethLitwak,
Can you possibly sharea screenshot if what you do see? Is it just a blank white screen, or is there other content just not the student discussion posts? My normal advice in a situation like this would be to ensure both your web browser and operating system are up to date (could you tell us the version numbers of both, if you happen to know that, perhaps look at the Canvas supported browsers page for more info). Running older browsers or operating systems is known to cause blank white screens in some areas of Canvas, but I have not heard of it happening with discussions specifically.

I got local help from a help desk person at my school. Normally, I have enough students to put them into groups. I thought that this would be true this time around. It turned out that when I made the discussion a group discussion, there was no other team and I couldn't access it. When I unchecked the box for group discussion, I was able to enter the discussion and respond to students, my usual practice. I hated it when I had to be in group discussioins. If I knew enough to generate my own questions for others to answer, I didn't need the class, but the professor never showed up in a discussion. I think that's wrong. If the prof is going to be MIA, then he/she should tell Canvas to give each participant the same score. That's what I think. I refuse to be a faceless online grading machine. Anyway, thatnks for the suggestion.
Best,
Ken
We are in the middle of add/drop, where students are changing classes regularly as they find the right fit for them. I have been using SIS Import to quickly update class rosters, but a downside is that teachers do not receive a notification when their rosters are updated. Is there a way to alert teachers that a new student…
Hello, I use Canvas' "temporary enrollment pairing" to grant temporary access to course observers who are performing an evaluation. We have policies around how many days they have access to the course. The only problem is that observers are receiving notifications from the course before their access window even begins.…
Hi, I'm reading that Amazon is blocking Meta's Muse from making purchases there. Could Instructure have Canvas instances block AI agents similarly - or, leave institutions with the ability to choose to block, etc. etc.? Limiting access tokens is great and all, but we're pretty sure all these web browsers with AI enabled,…
How does one view/sort submissions of specific sections within a Google Assignment, if grading is done through Google vs Speedgrader?
One of the teachers has registered for Google Services in her Canvas account. However, she is unable to link the Google Assignment LTI as an external tool for assignment submissions. The error message is "account not linked" after clicking continue at this step: When I try to go into this teacher's course as an admin and…
