Is there a way that students can post announcements or email their peers as an ensemble in Canvas?
@jipnet ...
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!
Has anyone ever encountered this error in the Admin Analytics Student section?
Has anyone run into issues with Speedgrader erroring when opening a student submission from a dropbox? See image for error information. I accessed this directly through the gradebook and instructors are getting the same message.
My class policy is that late assignments can be accepted at professor discretion, but they will have a 50% penalty. This is a gate you pass through once, and there are no further penalties. If it's late, you simply get 50% deducted from whatever the score was. This happens regardless of whether it's 5 hours late or 5 weeks…
Teachers often assume that because an assignment is a groupassignment, they will automatically grade it per group via SpeedGrader. With the option “Grade students individually”, they think they’re simply assigning the group grade to each individual student — without realizing that this option actually requires them to…
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.
