Font Size

I'm curious if font sizes in Canvas desktop scale for mobile? For example, if a person uses 14pt in Canvas desktop browser (pages, quizzes, assignments, etc.), does the mobile app keep the 14 point or responsively scale it to the device?

Hi @RobertGibson ...

I'm not sure if this will help answer your question, but in my own sandbox course, I created a page with three rows of text. I then set each row with its own font size: 14, 24, and 36. Here's how it looks on my laptop:

Here is the same page when viewing it on my Canvas Teacher app on my iPhone:

Again, not sure if this will help or not, but I wanted to share these screenshots with you...just in case.

Archiving Previous Outcomes?
My school district has changed our required Learning Outcomes for all of our courses for this school year. How can I archive the 400+ Learning Outcomes we used last school year so they're still linked to our 25-26 courses but teachers can't use them in 26-27 courses going forward?
How does "Participation: Course" + manually input start/end dates play with Course Pacing?
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].
