Is there a way that students can post announcements or email their peers as an ensemble in Canvas?

Students are not allowed to post announcements in a course. That is a function that only instructors are able to do...as far as I know. Now, with that being said, I suppose what you *could* do is to create a group set in your course...then put a group in that group set with all your students. I *think* that would allow your students to post announcements just to the group...but not to the actual course. Another option for you might be to create a discussion topic in your course specifically for your students to post replies that could sort of be like announcements to other students.
As far as students contacting each other in your course...yes, they can use the Canvas Inbox for this. Keep in mind that the Inbox is a messaging system, and it's not the same as standard e-mail that you and I are used to using in MS Outlook or some other e-mail client. The Inbox is only meant as a means to be in contact with other students and instructors who are enrolled in the same course(s) that you are enrolled in. (You can't, for example send/receive messages to your friends and family via the Canvas Inbox because they aren't enrolled in these courses like you are.)

Hopefully this helps to explain things for you. Sing out if you have any questions...thanks!

Cordial saludo Actualmente estamos presentando una inconsistencia en New Quizzes al momento de realizar la migración y posterior edición de las evaluaciones.

Our institution is setting up 9 institutional outcomes in Canvas. Several of our outcomes have multiple skill sets within the rubric. For example: Critical Reading – Skill Set A Critical Reading – Skill Set B Critical Reading – Skill Set C Our understanding is that Canvas Outcomes data reports can provide the overall/total…
I am just curiousas to why there is not a field to enter a description for an outcome at the account level? Or at least edit the rating when you attach/link an account level outcome to a rubric. When you create a new criterion for a rubric, you enter a decription for a rating, but for an account level outcome.
We use a pre- post- model to measure learning which requires student-question matching from two time periods. This requires exporting quiz data to CSV to do the analysis properly. (I can get into more detail if needed.) The New Quizzes Student Analysis CSV export has repeated blocks of ItemID then columns related to that…
Hello! A caution to my fellow Admins and support folks that Instructure updated their live-chat link (the one in the "(?) Help" menu, if you license their Support Chat service) fairly recently, but the old broken one is still online and appears as if it still functions. If someone hits the old link, after entering their…
