How do I turn OFF predictive text when I am writing anywhere within Canvas (including right now as I am composing this message)? I just want to permanently turn off the setting, as I find it incredibly distracting. Thank you!
Hello there, @NoraIsacoff ...
On my Windows 11 laptop, I use the Microsoft Edge browser, and I have predictive text turned on. I find it incredibly helpful because I can start to type a word (even here in the Community), and if it predicts the word(s) I want to use, I can just hit the "Tab" key on my keyboard, and it will fill in the word(s) for me. Otherwise, if I don't want to use those words, I can continue typing whatever words I want.
I understand that you might not want to use this feature, though. If you are using the Edge browser, you can turn this off by doing the following:
There may be similar settings in other web browsers, but hopefully this will give you an idea of what to look for if you're not using Edge.
Good luck!
Hi @NoraIsacoff,
I don't currently have any predictive text here in the community or on Canvas itself. I'm using the Edge web browser on MacOS. I think what you're seeing is probably coming from your specific browser or device, not something Canvas itself is doing. I know mobile devices rely heavily on predictive text for a better user experience, so I do wonder if you're using a phone or tablet? Can you give us any more info about your device/browser so we may be able to give you some guidance on shutting off predictive text?

Many of my teachers currently create their syllabus on a Google Sheet with the date assigned, due date, and then all of the details of each assignment.

This is my first time using the new discussion "checkpoints". I'm hoping the multiple due dates are effective, but using the "checkpoints" does seem to create other problems: They only allow for ONE "reply to topic". The way I use discussions in some of my classes is to allow for students to ask MULTIPLE questions per…
