Calendar changes times / days by itself

I'm completely new to Canvas (as an Instructor) and have been setting up a calendar for a course. It charts activities for each and every day of the course.

Logged in today and the calendar events have moved times and days without user input.

I need to know why this happens and how to prevent it. It's causing a loss of time on my part and some confusion too.

Hello @SoozC

I understand you are seeing some odd issues with your Calendar event dates and time shifting.

This is a really odd behavior and I have not come across this before.

How large of a shift in the times and dates are taking place?
Do you have a TA or Co-Instructor in the course who might be shifting/editing those dates and times on accident?

Thanks for your reply. Don't believe anyone else was changing times and dates.

Have deleted all content and will rebuild when have time.

I did change original content from 1pm on July 29 to 9am on 29 July, then the next day the first item was 11:30 pm on 29 July, and all other content pushed to July 30.

We are in a different time zone in Australia, and maybe that has something to do with it?

Cheers

New Speedgrader UI Showing Student Names
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…
