A rookie question, but is there a way to automatically propagate an instructor profile page across all his/her courses? (Rather than copy/pasting for every course.)
Hi. I think there's three options for managing this.
No, you cannot create a page within a Canvas course and then have it auto-populate to other courses. However, there are some options:
Note that your global Canvas account has a place for you to upload your photo, profile, and so on. Just click on the circle in the upper left-hand corner of your screen. All of your students in all of your courses will be able to see what you upload there.
If you also want a separate page, you may want to create one in a development course shell ("sandbox course"). Then you can "import" the page into each individual Canvas course. Note that "importing" is the way to go, not copying and pasting.
Hi. Yes, I've had this same question myself. Initially I went down the blueprints route, but I found this easier.
Any new courses created in that account will use that course template. The only downside is the template can't be applied after new courses are created, only at the creation of new courses.

With the new SpeedGrader UI, we are seeing student names appear in the page title even when the “Hide student names” setting is enabled. When using Classic Quizzes, there is no option within the quiz settings to enable anonymous grading, so we rely on instructors using the hide student names setting in SpeedGrader to…
Speedgrader chaning file name when being downloaded. Speedgrader: When downloading a submitted assignment, the file name is being changed to an unrecognizable name — (Student's actual name was part of the file name — changed for privacy.) Ideas???
We are all familiar with the standard Course Calendar, where assignment due dates are automatically added. However, at my institution, we structure our assignments as Challenges that develop over a period of time, rather than just a single deadline. Currently, the calendar only highlights the "end point." It would be a…
The current placement of the "Submit" button creates a "slip" in user behavior where habit-clicking "Next" leads to an accidental final submission. I think Canvas could easily fix this by: Moving the Submit button away from the navigation buttons (maybe above the question instead of below it) and/or Adding a "Confirm…
This is my first time using the new discussion "checkpoints". 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…
