Attn: Oklahoma Users - HB 3958

KodyHookstra

Our state passed a law that requires all school personnel communication to include a parent/guardian. This is to avoid one-on-one electronic communication between a teacher and student. 

 

At our school, we are working on troubleshooting the communication that takes place when instructors use the messaging icons in Canvas.  

When instructors use this "ENVELOPE ICON" :

The messaging box does not have an option to "ADD OBSERVERS".

But, when using the following "ENVELOPE ICON":

There is an option to "ADD OBSERVERS"

QUESTION:

Does anyone see an issue with requesting that BOTH icons allow teachers to "ADD OBSERVERS" to the communication?

Hi there, @KodyHookstra ...

I see what you mean by not being able to add observers via those methods.  It almost sounds like you'd want to create an idea here in the Community so that it has the potential to be voted on down the road.  You can find out more about how to create a new idea here in the Community by reading through the documentation linked under the heading "Ideas and Themes" at:

Instructure Community Guide - Instructure Community (canvaslms.com)

Now, regarding the attached PDF...I'm not sure why you linked that...as it has to do with Bill No. 3958.  Did you accidentally attach this file?

Hope to hear back from you soon.
