Is there a way for the Canvas administrator to reset ALL student passwords at once instead of going into each and every student's account?

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…
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…
Canvas Portfolios provide a powerful platform for students to document their learning journey, reflect on their progress, and showcase competencies.
