After searching your site for hours, you still do not have any clear instruction or guidance as to how to upload an instructor's course syllabus into the canvas portal. Totally unsatisfactory.
Hi @JayStroup ...
There are two main Guides that I'll refer you to re: the Canvas Syllabus:
For your case, what does your syllabus look like? Do you have it in a Microsoft Word document or a PDF file? If so, are you wanting to just upload that document to the Syllabus page in your course so that students can view/download it? Or, do you have text in a document that you want to copy/paste onto the Syllabus page of your course? At our College, we have a third-party product integrated into our Canvas environment called Simple Syllabus. So, our instructors do not use the normal Canvas Syllabus page. Rather, we've set up a template in our Simple Syllabus so that there are specific fields that need to be filled in (other fields are auto-populated with information).
If you could provide some additional details about what your Syllabus looks like and how you'd like it displayed in your course, that will be helpful. Thanks!
@JayStroup Maybe, you don't realize this, but the people answering questions on this forum are not employees working for Instructure. Most of us are either IT folks or teachers who just want to help. We're all volunteering our time here. I understand that you are frustrated, but please reconsider your tone.
I am trying to find out the same.
When viewing a student submission, "Error while processing or retrieving the document" is shown in Speedgrader. The PDF can be read when downloaded, but this slows grading time down a lot. What can I tell the student to do differently? Is this a known bug?
Does anyone have suggestions for bulk aligning questions at the quiz level, not the item bank level? I don't know much about API keys, but would one of these work for a bulk alignment? We have a school that is preparing for accreditation next year and they must get their quiz questions aligned to outcomes. We know they…
The most recent quizzes and question banks (including renames) are not showing up as options in the Course Import Tool. As I was creating a new quiz in one course (Classic), I went to add the questions from the Question Bank, but what I needed wasn't there. I went back to the other course to make sure everything was…
In the wake of the recent Canvas security incident, many instructors are rethinking how they protect their course materials and ensure continuity for students if the LMS becomes unavailable. A common question we’re hearing is how to effectively back up courses “just in case,” especially with an eye toward re‑distributing…
Hi all, Quick question about the Gradebook color status for a 2-part checkpoint discussion. If a student completes the first due date (initial post) but does not complete the required replies by the second due date, is there any way for Canvas to automatically show a color (e.g., missing/late) instead of staying as…
