It would be nice to add a feature where clicking on a person's profile picture pops up with a bigger version of the profile picture. I would like to use Canvas to help me learn names and faces of students, but the pictures are too small to see.
Hi Michael,
That's a great idea -- I've often wanted to click to view a bigger version of the profile picture.

Hi @MichaelAnd1 ...
I completely agree with @Hildi_Pardo. This would be good for you to submit as a new idea here in the Community.
I'm not sure if your school has purchased the DesignPLUS product from Cidi Labs, but in that product, there is an option that Canvas administrators can enable that makes student profile pictures larger in size...just what you are asking. I don't have an example of what this looks like, but it does make profile pictures look larger (large squares) on the "People" page, and it is much easier to see the profile pictures students have uploaded to their Canvas accounts. DesignPLUS has a lot more functionality, but I wanted to point out this particular option within the toolset ... so you are aware of this capability. Hope this helps in some way.
Hoping someone can explain for me. We're using pacing to avoid manually dating regular assignments each quarter, but the dates I see are based on when the course was instantiated, while students see dates based on when they were added to the course by [backend software I don't know anything about, presumably]. If I set…
Has anyone else had issues with an influx of duplicate users in Canvas? Ours is currently in the form of an email that already exists, becoming a new user - and not automatically merging with the user ID with the same email that also is linked to our SIS ID correctly as well. For example, user 1 is xyz@gmail.com without a…
Canvas Portfolios provide a powerful platform for students to document their learning journey, reflect on their progress, and showcase competencies. However, in programs where multiple educators are involved in assessment—such as team teaching, moderation, or competency-based evaluation—there are important questions about…
I wonder if others have had this response, but I think it is troubling messaging for students that, no matter how well they may do on an assignment, they are given a signal that anything below a perfect score should be marked/denoted with a red color, as if those grades are poor, or even lesser. I think it is harmful for…
I have a student that was in a tag called "ac" and recently moved him to a different tag, "AC." I did ensure the old tag was removed; however on a canvas PAGE he sees both pages the "ac" and "AC" Canvas Pages. I removed the assigned tags to the page and the one tag to the student thinking maybe if I remove and reassign…
