Hi, an export of one of my courses was made and my course is not shared on the commons. Is there a way to find out who may have expored my course content? Thanks.
Hi @ebard,
While on your course export page, if you add "/api/v1/" to the URL right after your Canvas domain (so it would look like https://school.instructure.com/api/v1/courses/123456/content_exports ), you'll see some text output showing details of your course exports. One of the fields in this text is the numeric Canvas user_id of the person who did the export. Now, unless you're an admin, you may not be able to take that numeric user_id and figure out who it is, but there's one trick you can try. If you go to your course People list and add a / and then the numeric user_id you got from the last step to the end of the URL, you'll end up on a page with the user's info if they are enrolled in your course. If the user is an admin, you'll likely receive a page error or something similar. This may at least give you some idea of what happened though, and you could always ask your local Canvas team (usually in the eLearning / IT / Digital Education areas) if they'd identify the person for you based on the Canvas user_id number.
Hope this helps!

This has been going on for 3 semesters now…apparently it's a bug in the system, but I'd love to know when it will be fixed. After I enter a grade in Speed Grader, I look back onto Gradebook and some students' grades simply show the assignment icon. If I right-click on it, the actual points appear, but then disappear after…
With the new SpeedGrader UI, we are seeing student names appear in the page title even when the “Hide student names” setting is enabled. 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…
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???
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…
I tried the Quick Reassess feature today. Once I approved the questions and created the assessment it went to the tracker for Block 1. But I can't find the new assessment in my assessments to add to Blocks 2 & 4. If I have to recreate for each class, they won't have the same questions. I also cannot find the option to…
