I have a few "inactive" students in my Canvas class, but can also see that their activity time is showing activity in the course. How is this possible? And are these students able to see the course?
Hello @vickystrunz ...
I think the information in the light blue box at the top of this Guide will help to answer your question:
How do I deactivate an enrollment in a course? - Instructure Community - 750 (canvaslms.com)
Sing out if you have any other questions about this...thanks!
Hi @vickystrunz ,
It is important to recognise that Inactive is a status assigned by your system, and not the lethargic condition of your students.
I suspect that like our local configuration, your implementation is only using one of the four statuses available (inactive) and not using Deleted, Concluded or Suspended - see https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Canvas-Resource-Documents/Canvas-Enrollment-Status-Comparison/ta-p/387055 , each of which would be more granular/informative to the teacher, particularly on large courses. IN our case some of these would almost directly map onto our CIS.
Inactive students don't see the course, cannot participate or submit, do not receive communications, and may not appear in a number of reports and screens. Their data is not lost, but may be hidden from some views. We use this, amongst other things, for intermitting students and students who haven't completed Registration requirements.
Concluded would be a useful status to implement, as it prevents students who have completed the course from using discussions, submissions etc. but still allows them to view the content and what has already been submitted. In a large course it makes it easier to distinguish students with extensions, reassments etc.
hope that helps
Hi folks — I imported a course from another school, no problem! It’s also for a different course, so for obvious reasons I need to delete the existing assignments. I created a new assignment group and moved them into it, but when I click Delete Group and choose "Delete its assignments", I get the little spinny loading…
I'm not sure that this is the right place to post about this, but I was wondering if anyone has a fix for how the scroll bar for the entire page covers the scroll bar for just a document viewed in Canvas. The scroll bar for a document will stay visible until one attempts to interact with it, at which point the bar for the…
Hi There, We are in the process of transitioning to Canvas this year and were wanting to connect with any other MYP schools to see how you setup Assignment and grading under your modules. Or you could guide us to any resources you may have.
After using Canvas for a while, I picked up a small habit that’s saved me some last-minute stress with written submissions. Even when drafts are original, longer explanations and summaries tend to reuse common phrasing, especially in research-heavy assignments. Before submitting, I usually do a quick cleanup pass to reduce…
In the "How do I use the Learning Mastery Gradebook" page, under "Student scores" (https://community.instructure.com/en/kb/articles/660932-how-do-i-use-the-learning-mastery-gradebook-to-view-outcome-results-in-a-course#view-student-scores), the displayed gradebook shows a little colorful square and also points for each…
