A student is getting odd messages when trying to accept the original or re-sent invitations to join the course. If I 'remove' them from the course, can I then re-add them with a new invitation to see if that corrects the problem?
@GinaGenova Yep! There is no harm in manually adding, removing, and re-adding a user to a course. What is the odd message they are receiving?
The answer depends on whether your students are added manually or by your Student Information System. If it is the latter then you probably shouldn't (and your Canvas should be configured to prevent teachers from dosing so).
You need to get to the bottom of what the issue is - have you talked to your Canvas team/IT support?
If the student has not accepted the invitation they will normally show as 'pending' and you have the option to resend invitations.

Does anyone have any ideas on how this could be automated through Canvas? Currently, they email me for these requests and I generate them manually from…

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…
