It would be very nice to be able to have extremely small font sizes in Canvas as a means to add some hidden text to put in a trojan request to detect cheating with AI. The smallest it can go right now is 8pt.
Hello there, @TAMRAROSSITER ...
There is a separate area here in the Community website where you can submit your ideas for consideration. If you check out the Guides under the heading "Ideas and Themes", one of the Guides gives details on how to create a new idea.
Instructure Community Guide - Instructure Community (canvaslms.com)
Or, you can just go to:
How do I create a new idea in the Instructure Comm... - Instructure Community - 2986 (canvaslms.com)
I hope this will be of help to you. Sing out if you have any questions...thanks!
Hi @TAMRAROSSITER,
While I understand your request, I'd advise proceeding this way with a LOT of caution. While you might be trying to "catch" students using AI to cheat, you might end up negatively affecting students who may use a screen reader of other assistive technology, and your hidden text may become visible if students are, for example, using dark mode on the Canvas app. Just wanted to quickly mention these as things to think about so you don't end up creating even bigger problems that what you're trying to solve.

Hi everyone, I’m working through a Sherpath/Evolve LTI 1.3 setup in Canvas and would appreciate some guidance from others who have configured grade passback. Sherpath’s guidance is that the point values need to be adjusted in the Sherpath link opened through the LTI so that the grades pass back to Canvas with the intended…
The fact that the teacher's gradebook view only displays the letter grade in the "override" column makes it difficult for the teacher to review grades, as the numerical grade entered cannot be determined in that view.
Screen readers seem to read out the LaTex and not the equation.
