Hi, I'm a teacher and my course already closed, but I need to continue using it. How can I reopen it?

You might need to have a conversation with your school's Canvas administrator or someone from their Online Learning / eLearning / Distance Education department team about re-opening your course. There may be policies and procedures in place already regarding this. Also, I'm curious to know what you mean by "need to continue using it". Do you mean that you just need to access course content from a past semester for a bit longer? Do you mean that you are wanting to use the same course for a new semester with new students? If the latter is true, this isn't a recommended practice at most schools. Rather, you'd want to have a new course shell created and then import (copy) the contents from the previous course into the new course. Again, I would recommend having a conversation with your Ed Tech team at your school to see what they recommend. Good luck!
If you still need to collect and grade student work for a student who has an Incomplete grade, then you need to talk with your institution.
If you simply want to edit content for next semester, then you have two options:
When you import content, I strongly recommend that you "remove" the dates. Also, I recommend that you choose the option to import "selected" content so you can choose what you want to bring over.
Hello, I am using checkpoint discussions. When I see that I have some submissions in my To Do list to grade, I click on it, go into Speedgrader, and now have to search to see which students have posted or not. It used to designate which students had posts to grade so it was easy to just go to those students. Something has…
A teacher at my school set up her coursework category to "Drop the lowest score" in both Canvas and PowerSchool (we use both). At the end of the semester, 13 of her 78 students had different percentages, with 8 of those being corner cases, resulting different letter grades. And all of those scores were higher in Canvas. I…
I'm not sure that this is the right place to post about this, but I was wondering if anyone has a fix for how the scroll bar for the entire page covers the scroll bar for just a document viewed in Canvas. The scroll bar for a document will stay visible until one attempts to interact with it, at which point the bar for the…
Hi There, We are in the process of transitioning to Canvas this year and were wanting to connect with any other MYP schools to see how you setup Assignment and grading under your modules. Or you could guide us to any resources you may have.
After using Canvas for a while, I picked up a small habit that’s saved me some last-minute stress with written submissions. Even when drafts are original, longer explanations and summaries tend to reuse common phrasing, especially in research-heavy assignments. Before submitting, I usually do a quick cleanup pass to reduce…
