What is the latest progress on incorporating the Rich Text Editor in messages or course emails?
Our institution primarily communicates via Canvas messages and email. We need more formatting options when sending messages to students.
@joella_robinson You are not the first user to make this suggestion, and it has been added to an identified theme ( Improve the inbox functionality to provide for more meaningful communication ) that will hopely be slated for development in Canvas sometime in the near future. If you have further suggestions for improvements, you may want to submit them to the Ideas forum (or contribute to previously submitted ideas) as this is where many of the ideas for improvements are gathered.
Canvas - this is truly ridiculous that you don't have this function in email. It is 2024. This is not a beta testing issue - it's pure laziness. You even have rich text in this chat forum! You have it in the announcements. It makes no sense at all why it is taking so long to add this. You should know that communicating with Gen Z requires the ability to be able to bullet, bold, italicize, use colors, change size etc. It is truly ridiculous that you have not added this. At the very least, let us send the announcements in an email since that has the functionality. Even Blackboard had this way back in 2002 when I first started teaching. I am tired of waiting. Please give a better answer why you don't have this added yet. I would think this would be a simple add on that would take no time at all. It is 2024!!!!

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…
I tried the Quick Reassess feature today. Once I approved the questions and created the assessment it went to the tracker for Block 1. But I can't find the new assessment in my assessments to add to Blocks 2 & 4. If I have to recreate for each class, they won't have the same questions. I also cannot find the option to…
Greetings, I am embedding a Storyline module into Canvas for our school. When I upload the ZIP file, Canvas provides three options: Load as a graded assignment Load as an ungraded assignment Create a page based on the content However, in all three cases, I do not have access to modify the HTML or adjust the iframe display…
Hello Everybody!!! I'm new here! :) How do you create a meeting with your class group in Canvas? When I attempt to compose a message, I select the course and then choose “Student Group,” but the only option that appears is a “Back” button with an arrow. No student names or group members appear for me to contact.
