how do I set up a wiki page for an assignment?
@ahedekinsdccd ...
Can you please clarify for us...are you an instructor? Are you a student? Can you provide any other details about your question that might be relevant?
Looking forward to hearing from you soon.
Hello Sorry for the confusion. To clarify...I was taking an @Oneclass through the california community college system where we had a making a contribution to a wiki page was one of the assignments. I am teaching a course and would like to create a similar type of assignment for my class. Some of the videos online suggest starting the "assignment" (not assignment page in canvas) as a discussion. Creating a page in your shell. Linking the the page within the discussion to direct students to the page. Then using the edit button. I need a way to track contributions to the wiki page. I don't want to use the discussion format. I want to bring students to a page they can view and contribute. JamBoard and Padlet will be hard to grade. Wondering if there are other videos created by Canvas that are better than the videos on youtube.
On occasion I have used an editable page (wiki page) in Canvas so that all students can contribute. This is done by creating a PAGE and changing the “Options” at the bottom of the page to “teachers and students” or “ everyone” can edit. You can also check the box “add to student to do list”. But I don’t think you can track participation less you ask students to add their names. However this is only possible in pages, not assignments or discussions. I’ve used it for collaborative brainstorming. Then I have an assignment where they use the information generated. Hope this helps.

When using Classic Quizzes, there is no option within the quiz settings to enable anonymous grading, so we rely on instructors using the hide student names setting in SpeedGrader to…
Has anyone had a chance to try this with a Canvas quiz? Seems it may have a similar effect as ChatGPT Atlas able to provide all the answers to an open Quiz. https://www.theregister.com/2026/03/05/microsoft_adds_a_sidepane_for/
When you are creating a quiz and/or also reviewing a quiz in Canvas after the class has taken it, the questions aren't numbered so after you get past the first few questions, there is no way to even tell what number you are on. Can someone change that?
Speedgrader chaning file name when being downloaded. Speedgrader: When downloading a submitted assignment, the file name is being changed to an unrecognizable name — (Student's actual name was part of the file name — changed for privacy.) Ideas???
We are all familiar with the standard Course Calendar, where assignment due dates are automatically added. However, at my institution, we structure our assignments as Challenges that develop over a period of time, rather than just a single deadline. Currently, the calendar only highlights the "end point." It would be a…
