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.

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…
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…
