If a student posts a perfectly civil reply that has absolutely nothing to do with the topic of the discussion can I delete the post? So confusing to other students. I would love to hear your opinion.
As long as you have a role with permissions in the course (Teacher, Ta, etc.) that allows you to delete discussion posts, then yes, you can delete the post. That is the technical answer.
As far as it being confusing to other students, as a teacher, I would reach out to that student before deleting and ask for clarification in their post. What were the intentions or message they are trying to convey? Did they post to the wrong location? Etc.

But I would talk to the student first and base my action on what they have to say.

If I set…
Has anyone else had issues with an influx of duplicate users in Canvas? Ours is currently in the form of an email that already exists, becoming a new user - and not automatically merging with the user ID with the same email that also is linked to our SIS ID correctly as well. For example, user 1 is xyz@gmail.com without a…
Canvas Portfolios provide a powerful platform for students to document their learning journey, reflect on their progress, and showcase competencies. However, in programs where multiple educators are involved in assessment—such as team teaching, moderation, or competency-based evaluation—there are important questions about…
I have a student that was in a tag called "ac" and recently moved him to a different tag, "AC." I did ensure the old tag was removed; however on a canvas PAGE he sees both pages the "ac" and "AC" Canvas Pages. I removed the assigned tags to the page and the one tag to the student thinking maybe if I remove and reassign…
