Hi! I am wondering as a course admin/instructor how to edit the URL of a page after it has been created. This page is part of a module. Thank you!
Page urls appear to follow the following format:
https://yourinstitution.instructure.com/courses/14394/pages/entitled
Here entitled was the name I gave to the page so the url is formulaic with the page title appended.
I tried editing a page using the Canvas Live API which has an optional field for url - I kept the url the same as above, input entitled as the page title but changed entitled to newtitle in the url field
This did not change the url
but if I omit the title in the API the url is as I input it - but now the page title becomes the entire url...
So I think it's probably better to consider cahnging the title than trying to edit the url
Now if the page is in a module you'll also see something like ?module_item_id=938717 at the end of the url
I may have missed something but I don't think I could change the title if I submitted the module version of the url...
The difference between using the page url and the page url for the page within the module is that the latter displays buttons to access the previous and next items in the module
I'm trying to figure out whether Canvas Portfolio will work for me this year with my 11th graders. We are introducing a curriculum that has a portfolio component but does not specify the platform. I would like to try Evaluation Portfolios but am confused by the information in the guides. The Guide for Portfolio says Once…
I am setting up my courses for this year and I realized that when I opend the mastery-based gradebook, there is no color coding. When I open last years's course that had color-coding last time I opened it in the spring, it no longer has colors. The colors appear in the individual student view, but not in the all class view.
Hoping someone can explain for me. We're using pacing to avoid manually dating regular assignments each quarter, but the dates I see are based on when the course was instantiated, while students see dates based on when they were added to the course by [backend software I don't know anything about, presumably]. If I set…
Has anyone else had issues with an influx of duplicate users in Canvas? Ours is currently in the form of an email that already exists, becoming a new user - and not automatically merging with the user ID with the same email that also is linked to our SIS ID correctly as well. For example, user 1 is xyz@gmail.com without a…
Canvas Portfolios provide a powerful platform for students to document their learning journey, reflect on their progress, and showcase competencies. However, in programs where multiple educators are involved in assessment—such as team teaching, moderation, or competency-based evaluation—there are important questions about…
