I cannot find anywhere a tab for discussion or assignments even tho there are discussions and assignments in the syllabus. Is that something that I, as a student, can fix?
Hi there, @bizjet ...
It's a common practice among many instructors at various schools that use Canvas as their LMS (Learning Management System) to hide the "Discussions" and "Assignments" course navigation links along the left-hand side of a given course. Instead, what instructors do is use the "Modules" course navigation link to add in the discussion topics and assignment from those two areas into the "Modules" page. The "Discussions" and "Assignments" course navigation links are hidden from you and your classmates, yet your instructor can still give you access to the things on those pages from the "Modules" page. This *might* be how your instructor has configured things for your course. But, since almost all Community members wouldn't have access to your course or your school's Canvas environment, we cannot see exactly how your course might be set up by your instructor. If you contact your instructor, you can ask your instructor more about how he/she has set up the course. How do I get help with Canvas as a student?
I hope this will be of some help to you. Let Community members know if you have any other questions about this...thanks!
While typing an Announcement, sometimes midway, we need to check something for which we click on Grades or Assignments. Then when we return to Announcements, what we types simply disappears. It will be very helpful to have a DRAFT option under Announcements so that the unfinished message is not lost.
I have used Blackboard, Moodle, and now work at a Canvas university. When grading quiz items. I want the ability to view all of the students' responses to a single item at once. This could allow consistency in grading and speed up the grading process. This functionality has been available in Moodle for over 10 years.
I'm an instructional designer working with a faculty member who wants all of the students in the class to work in groups to complete a feedback form together, with contributions from each group member. The way the Canvas Collaborations instructions are written, I don't understand how to make this happen. Do we set up a…
Has anyone ever encountered this error in the Admin Analytics Student section?
My class policy is that late assignments can be accepted at professor discretion, but they will have a 50% penalty. This is a gate you pass through once, and there are no further penalties. If it's late, you simply get 50% deducted from whatever the score was. This happens regardless of whether it's 5 hours late or 5 weeks…
