Are the messages that I send to my students / fellow students are private? Or I have access to them (if so, how to check) and other administrators
Anyone with the permissions to masquerade as another user (typically limited to Canvas admins) can see the messages within Canvas. If those messages go out via email, then anyone with access to the student's email can read them. At our school, that's a network administrator (different from Canvas administrator, but they may be the same at your institution). I don't have time to check right now, but I believe people with access to Canvas Data can access the messages. A court can issue a subpoena to get access to the information if warranted. If someone shares their computer or leaves the browser open, then whoever has access to that computer can read messages.
If you delete a message, you're only deleting your copy of the message, not the recipients. Think twice before hitting send and don't say anything that you wouldn't want other people to read.
Most electronic messaging has the same limitations.
Hi everyone, It looks like the multiple rubric idea has bounced around a bit with the different feature request methodologies over the years, including a mention in New & Next 2024 according to this post, interviews in the enhanced rubrics features group, being listed as "under consideration" on the new roadmap, and this…
I recently had an exam provided as a Canvas Quiz in my class, and used some questions copied from question banks from other sections and prior years of the course. Some of those questions had "General Answer Comment" text already saved in them. I changed that text in several questions as I updated/changed the questions.…
I would like to suggest improvements to how collaborations function within Canvas LMS. Currently, collaborations are somewhat limited in how they can be accessed and integrated into course content. One potential improvement would be allowing collaborations to be directly linkable within Pages and Modules. This would make…
We are using the Learning Mastery Gradebook with an rubric on account-level. When we enter the gradebook, the sorting does not make any sense. How can we make the sorting so it makes sense to us. It feels like a randam sorting.
Can Canvas please create the option to use a "total points" system such that both the gradebook and the student grades page can show accumulated total points, not as a fraction of total points earned/total points possible? This would be SO helpful for progress tracking in a self-paced course where I do not want 0s entered…
