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.
If they still can't get in (or are not showing as pending) then there may be an anomaly around their ID or login that you need to get to the bottom of....
@PaulFynn If the student has an invitation (and re-sent invitations) to the course, then that would mean that they were manually invited, right? I could be wrong, but I don't. think that SIS enrollment feeds create an invitation, they just enroll the student.
Is having students read the textbook considered an assignment or an activity if there is no grade but a required date?
Hoping someone can explain for me. We're using pacing to avoid manually dating regular assignments each quarter, but the dates I see are based on when the course was instantiated, while students see dates based on when they were added to the course by [backend software I don't know anything about, presumably]. If I set…
Has anyone else had issues with an influx of duplicate users in Canvas? Ours is currently in the form of an email that already exists, becoming a new user - and not automatically merging with the user ID with the same email that also is linked to our SIS ID correctly as well. For example, user 1 is xyz@gmail.com without a…
Canvas Portfolios provide a powerful platform for students to document their learning journey, reflect on their progress, and showcase competencies. However, in programs where multiple educators are involved in assessment—such as team teaching, moderation, or competency-based evaluation—there are important questions about…
I have a student that was in a tag called "ac" and recently moved him to a different tag, "AC." I did ensure the old tag was removed; however on a canvas PAGE he sees both pages the "ac" and "AC" Canvas Pages. I removed the assigned tags to the page and the one tag to the student thinking maybe if I remove and reassign…
