I am trying to add students to my course by adding them as a person/student. However, some of my students are not receiving any emails from Canvas. Is there another way to add students? Is it a lost cause? What should I do?
Under "Settings" you can click "Let students self-enroll by sharing with them a secret URL or code" to create a URL link that can be clicked on by students for them to self-enroll (this could be disabled by your institution).
Under "People" you can add with their email address, Login ID (username), or SIS ID (id number). Ensure that the people added are as students, it is the correct course and section.
For emails from Canvas, some students may have the notifications blocked from going to their email. To change this, while the student is logged in, they will go to "Account" on the side, then "Notifications". From there, there is a series of options to turn on and off for their email and push notifications. Students can add or edit contact information under "Settings" to add/change connected emails and phone numbers.
I am wondering if the student can see the message in Conversations/Inbox but is not getting an actual email notification. If so, the student might need to adjust their notifications. Each Canvas user, regardless of their role, gets to choose what kinds of notifications they receive, either globally or by course. The student may also want to verify that the email in their settings is correct.
How do I manage my Canvas notification settings as a student?
Hello,
Does this mean that it is possible that they haven't logged into their account? Should I tell the students to create a canvas account with their email and then try to join the course?
Thank you
In Course Details, there is a pull down marked Participation, which can either be Term or Course. Is there a way to set this via the API?
This has been going on for 3 semesters now…apparently it's a bug in the system, but I'd love to know when it will be fixed. After I enter a grade in Speed Grader, I look back onto Gradebook and some students' grades simply show the assignment icon. If I right-click on it, the actual points appear, but then disappear after…
With the new SpeedGrader UI, we are seeing student names appear in the page title even when the “Hide student names” setting is enabled. When using Classic Quizzes, there is no option within the quiz settings to enable anonymous grading, so we rely on instructors using the hide student names setting in SpeedGrader to…
Speedgrader chaning file name when being downloaded. Speedgrader: When downloading a submitted assignment, the file name is being changed to an unrecognizable name — (Student's actual name was part of the file name — changed for privacy.) Ideas???
This is my first time using the new discussion "checkpoints". I'm hoping the multiple due dates are effective, but using the "checkpoints" does seem to create other problems: They only allow for ONE "reply to topic". The way I use discussions in some of my classes is to allow for students to ask MULTIPLE questions per…
