How can I highlight from the computer? I can't highlight my readings to study
@Bel2 ...
Are you wanting to highlight some text that your instructor has given you to read for the course? What form is the text in? Is it a Word document? A PDF file? Text within a content page of Canvas? In general, Canvas does not have any tools that allow you to highlight text that you are reading. If the text was within a content page of your course, you could select all the text, paste it into a Word document, and then use the highlight tool as needed. Even better would be if your instructor provided a copy of the text for you to download so that you could do highlighting on your own? Sometimes, instructors will use third-party external tools (these are called LTIs in Canvas) from places like book publishers. I don't know the capabilities of those third-party applications and whether or not they offer any highlighting tools. That would be a question for the publishers of those tools and not Canvas.
I hope I've been able to provide some ideas of how you might go about highlighting text. Check with your instructor to see if he/she has any other suggestions...or would be willing to provide electronic files of the material for you and your students. You can use this Guide to contact your instructor: How do I get help with Canvas as a student?
Good luck!

It'd be nice to be able to limit auto-feedback to section so that when working on feedback in class, your feedback is given by actual classmates rather than students in different sections. This would make it so that the students could ask their classmates questions about the feedback in person!
I think it would be nice to have the option to make the WYSIWYG editor the full height (instead of a fixed position when you open the assignment editor). Then just have the editor tools stick to the top of the page as you scroll through the assignment. This would make is so that you don't have a tiny view to work with that…
Screen readers seem to read out the LaTex and not the equation.
Whenever possible, I prefer to have my students take in-class quizzes and tests on their laptops. But to make sure that they do it in the classroom, I've always put a password on the assessment and then given them the password. That way they can't take it somewhere else on their own (or somewhere else, not on their own).…
