I liked Canvas when it was a small alternative to the previous software (which I have thankfully forgotten) but now it is sending me nonsense crap and it needs to stop. I don't want to know what a LMS is.
Hi @sieburth,
In my experience as a Canvas admin for my institution, Canvas (Instructure) doesn't send out very much, if any, emails to faculty or students unless it's something you may have signed up for on their website or here in the Instructure Community. If you're getting a lot of emails, my guess is that they are coming from the Canvas team at your school/institution. I'd recommend reaching out to that team (usually part of the eLearning / IT / Digital Education areas) to see if they can confirm this and if there may be any opt-out process for their email content.
Hope this helps a bit!

My learners often need a proof of enrollment (that shows what class they are enrolling in and when) or a letter of completion (what class they took and their earned grade).

From my understanding, the…
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???
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…
