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.
With the new SpeedGrader UI, we are seeing student names appear in the page title even when the “Hide student names” setting is enabled. When using Classic Quizzes, there is no option within the quiz settings to enable anonymous grading, so we rely on instructors using the hide student names setting in SpeedGrader to…
Speedgrader chaning file name when being downloaded. Speedgrader: When downloading a submitted assignment, the file name is being changed to an unrecognizable name — (Student's actual name was part of the file name — changed for privacy.) Ideas???
We are all familiar with the standard Course Calendar, where assignment due dates are automatically added. However, at my institution, we structure our assignments as Challenges that develop over a period of time, rather than just a single deadline. Currently, the calendar only highlights the "end point." It would be a…
The current placement of the "Submit" button creates a "slip" in user behavior where habit-clicking "Next" leads to an accidental final submission. I think Canvas could easily fix this by: Moving the Submit button away from the navigation buttons (maybe above the question instead of below it) and/or Adding a "Confirm…
This is my first time using the new discussion "checkpoints". 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…
