After "unpublishing" courses in my dashboard, the courses show as "published" again the next time I log into Canvas. How is it that they publishing without my permission?
Hi @wilkersond1,
There is nothing in Canvas itself that should auto-publish a course.
With that being said, there are many schools/institutions (mine is one of them) that have created auto-publishing scripts that run on a schedule and publish courses based on set policies and schedules. For my institution, we auto-publish any course with enrollments on a daily basis stating on the first day of the term. It may be worth reaching out to your school/institution Canvas team (usually in the eLearning / IT / Digital Education areas) to see if they have something like that in place.
The only other thing I could think of is that your unpublish action isn't being successfully done, but you should see a message at the top of the screen in Canvas when you hit unpublish if that was the case.
Hope this helps a bit!

Admins can both set rules for publishing and publish courses directly. You may ask if that is what is happening.
For example, my admins set a date by which all courses will be published (one day before the administrative first day of class), and then it is not possible for me to unpublish it (so that students don't get confused and start contacting tech support).

Sherpath’s guidance is that the point values need to be adjusted in the Sherpath link opened through the LTI so that the grades pass back to Canvas with the intended…
The fact that the teacher's gradebook view only displays the letter grade in the "override" column makes it difficult for the teacher to review grades, as the numerical grade entered cannot be determined in that view.
Screen readers seem to read out the LaTex and not the equation.
Whenever possible, I prefer to have my students take in-class quizzes and tests on their laptops. But to make sure that they do it in the classroom, I've always put a password on the assessment and then given them the password. That way they can't take it somewhere else on their own (or somewhere else, not on their own).…
I use Respondus 4.0 for loading questions to my pools in Bb and now that we have moved to Canvas, I want to load them to an Item Bank. However, to do this, I need to have them downloadable as a QTI 2.1 option. My options or limited. #1 I can load to a Classic Quiz which my university does not prefer, download the questions…
