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.

But the Gradebook's "Bulk Download Rubrics" command generates a CSV file with only the peers'…
Looking for the addition of partial credit for alternative format questions in Canvas, like ordering and category/matrix. We can only do it in close drop down, matching, and multiple response.
Has anyone found gaps in their course analytics ? I'm currently seeing missing last view date, last participation date, and participations at overall course level, even though the same data is present at individual week and student level.
