Hi @LynetteSaint ...
Adding a date in the "Available from" field would accomplish the same thing as delaying the announcement. As you can see from my screenshot, I set this announcement to start on October 15, 2024 @ 7:00 a.m.
Be aware that with the new update, students can now see the timestamp for when you created the announcement, as well as the timestamp of when the announcement was released, which they are calling the "Edited" timestamp. Canvas Support says that there is no way to hide the created timestamp from students, which really defeats the purpose of delaying the announcement in the first place.
I have the same question. Has anyone received an answer?
Hi @kwilliams21 , I just tested today, and as the person who wrote the announcement I did get a notification at the same time students did, at the available from time. So, that is working! I have the "Announcement Created By You" notification set to immediate.
In student view, I only see the date/time the announcement was posted, not the time it was written. As Instructor, I can see both times, when written and when posted. That is also good,
From my end, all is working as expected. One other thing, if there are no announcements, then Announcements is grayed out on the course menu, that's how it always worked. If there is a delayed announcement it will stop being grayed out at the time the announcement is posted, not before.
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…
