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'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…

Hello Everybody!!! I'm new here! :) How do you create a meeting with your class group in Canvas? When I attempt to compose a message, I select the course and then choose “Student Group,” but the only option that appears is a “Back” button with an arrow. No student names or group members appear for me to contact.
