Appointment Group Issue

Why when creating appointment groups does it not display on all calendars? I have created office hour slots and selected all my course calendars, but it only displays on one calendar. My students in the other classes can't see that I offer appointments. Do I have to create the appointments for every class separately?

Hi @cduke, thanks for your question! The workflow for appointment groups should allow you to set office hours that display for all your courses. When you are setting up the appointment groups you need to select the course calendars twice:

1) From the Calendar Tab before you add a new event on the right hand side of the page:

2) Then again from the Edit Event pop-up when you are creating the Appointment Group:

Assuming your courses have been selected in both those areas, all your students should be able to see and schedule appointments. Dear Danielle created a great video on Appointment Groups/Office Hours, which I also suggest checking out for additional tips! I hope that helps!

I also have a teacher reporting this same issue. She did select the three course calendars twice, and the appointment groups only showed up on 1 of the 3 classes selected.

Even though YOU can only see the apointments in the top calendar, if you hop into Student View in the other courses, and select the calendar icon, and then click on "Find Appointments" to the right of the calendar, you will see the appointments populate the calendar.

Dropped Scores
I have Canvas set to drop the lowest quiz score, however, my students can only barely tell that the grade text is slightly grey when dropped. Can it have a tag like the "missing" and "exempt" ones in the student gradebook?
Batch edit assignment due dates by section
My Canvas shell has three different sections that all meet at different times throughout the week. I need to be able to batch edit assignment due dates by section, but right now Canvas can't filter by section for batch edit. My only option is now to manually (tediously) edit due dates for each assignment individually.
Change Group Assignments to NOT save if no groups are selected
Morning! One of the more frustrating aspects of Canvas are groups and the issues that show up when copying courses that have them. But now we have yet another issue.

Has anyone experienced the "Empty Course" page for Speedgrader, when there actually are students assigned and active on the assignment?
So, we have encountered a few assignments where the Speedgrader presents the teacher with the "Empty Course" page, even though the course is not empty. I have discovered two New Quizzes in the same course where this has occurred, despite multiple students being assigned (at Module level, which passes the permission down to…
Problems with grading since update
A teacher has expressed concerns with the recent update. Exact concern is as follows: "My Canvas has been acting glitchy since the last "update." For instance, when I grade essays the highlight and cursor tools do not always work. I have to try highlighting several times,or come back later to finish. It's told me I "ran…
