How can I view the whole class gradebook? I am not able to scroll down to the last student in the class of 24. I have to zoom out so much that I cannot even read the gradebook.
Hello @LindaTernes, Are you experiecing that just the last student is not visible or that you have no scrollbar visible at all? There is a known issue with the Gradebook not showing the last student in the course (or cutting off half of the last student). Our work around for this has been to activate a Test Student in the courses and that becomes the last student that isn't completely visibile. Not a perfect solution, but gets the grading done here at the end of the semester.

For a large gradebook, I would suggest creating filters to display only the necessary information. Please follow the guide here: 📔How do I create and manage filters in the Gradebook?
You can also export the whole grade book: 📔 How do I export grades in the Gradebook?
Horizontal scrollbar obscuring the bottom row of Gradebook also mentions that this issue does not appear in Firefox. Switching to Firefox may be simplest workaround if you have it installed already.

We use course pacing to manage due dates, because we run ~20 something courses each quarter and manually setting due dates would be a nightmare. Several courses have two core topics. We want to allow students to choose which of these they will pursue first. Is there any way to configure multiple course paces with different…
Hoping someone can explain for me. We're using pacing to avoid manually dating regular assignments each quarter, but the dates I see are based on when the course was instantiated, while students see dates based on when they were added to the course by [backend software I don't know anything about, presumably]. 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…
