This year's Canvas site was carried over from last year's, and it has a large number of Discussion items that I need to delete. I can only see a way to do this is one at a time, which will be time consuming. How can I delete all with one action?
Hi @MarthaFarah,
It sounds like you're trying to use the cans Canvas course shell from last year for a new course this year, is that correct? I will say that in most situations, this is not advisable. You'll more than likely want to create a new course for this year (your school may already do this for you) and import the content (which would not include student submissions/discussions) into the new course. If you *must* use the old course for some reason, it may be easier to duplicate the each discussion, then delete the originals, which would take all of the student replies with it.
Hope this helps a bit!

@chriscas - It hadn't occurred to me that @MarthaFarah might be trying to keep using an old Canvas course. I agree that doing so is a bad idea.
@MarthaFarah - If you are, in fact, keeping alive an old course shell and just adding new students, stop! Just create a new course shell. Then you are going to choose the option to "import selected content." Then you can choose which content you want to include in your new course shell. Also, when you go this route, it's really import to "remove" the old assignment dates.
I hope that you come back and explain a bit more about your situation.
Hi, I can't get this working right. I've created outcomes where the calculation method is to meet mastery twice. I've aligned them to several assignments. The grade book displays mastery as met when it's only been achieved on one of the assignments. It's not showing positive or negative for the other assignments. (I've…

Yesterday, after much trial and error…I concluded the new quizzes matching choice options do not work as I expected, and have used with other LMS. I thought that I could provide students a matching choice quiz with multiple attempts that would report incorrectly answered matches on the first attempt, and display the…
I have seen documentation that says you must recopy your iCal link and resubscribe when you are enrolled in new classes, does this mean my iCal feed link changes each time, or do i just need to re-fetch the .ics file?
We use course pacing to manage due dates, because we run ~20 something courses each quarter and manually setting due dates would be a nightmare. Several courses have two core topics. We want to allow students to choose which of these they will pursue first. Is there any way to configure multiple course paces with different…
