As a Canvas Admin:
What's the most efficient way to conclude old courses lacking term dates?
What's the most efficient way to remove/delete former students from the instance?
@holimoch Welcome!
If the courses and students have SIS IDs then the easiest way is to prepare a SIS Import file to conclude courses and delete former students. There's some samples there for you to look at.
Pro tip - run the SIS Export report for courses.csv then edit the file and upload it back.
If they don't have SIS IDs (more likely your courses than your students, I hope) then you'll need to run the Provisioning report and then use the API to conclude the courses.
Edit: just to show you the power of SIS imports, I ran a SIS import for 66k + courses this summer to conclude and put courses in an Archive subaccount. Making the file was very easy and uploading it for Canvas to process was easier. I have code examples for both situations if you need examples. Hope this helps!

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…
