All of my sections have the same name from SIS ID, can you please add a nickname feature so I can tell the difference between my sections?
There is a way for you to edit section names, even if the sections are automatically generated through a connection with your school's SIS. We use PowerSchool, so our enrollments and sections are generated from that connection. The ways ours is set up, the section names are created to include a # for which period the students are enrolled (1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc.).
To manually change these, go to your course's Settings page. On that page is a tab for Sections. This will list all of your sections. Each section name is linked, so click on one of them to open a page that gives the name, the SIS ID, and the enrollment. At the top of the menu on the right is an option that says "Edit Section" where you can change the name. As along as the SIS ID does not change, it should still connect to your SIS for syncing purposes. There is a way for your SIS integration to be set up to define section names. I believe this can also be set up so that it defaults to the course title from your SIS, among some other details. This would be how all of my sections give the course title from our SIS followed by a number for the period. I am not familiar with this process, so maybe someone more familiar with managing this can provide some additional details that you could take back to whomever handles Canvas for your district.
How do I access ASOR assignments the Unit 1 - Exercise 1a, 1b, and 1c? This is the instruction I got; Use the green Program Navigation button on the right to navigate to Unit 1, EXERCISES 1b, 1c and I am not aware where the green program is located. Please help
Suggestion: IB and AP are moving to all digital. Currently, if we want peer reviews for in class essays, we have to use the assignment feature. Could we use the quizzes feature so we can use the lockdown browser AND also assign peer reviews? This would help support the integrity of the timed essay.
Hi all, Quick question about the Gradebook color status for a 2-part checkpoint discussion. If a student completes the first due date (initial post) but does not complete the required replies by the second due date, is there any way for Canvas to automatically show a color (e.g., missing/late) instead of staying as…
Among all the things that I wish Canvas had is that one! Is it something that is been worked on? We had it in Blackboard (legacy) and I sorely miss and need in Canvas (we just transitioned to it from Bb). Please add this very needed feature!
Morning! One of the more frustrating aspects of Canvas are groups and the issues that show up when copying courses that have them. But now we have yet another issue. Most recently we have had instances where people mark an assignment/discussion as a group assignment but then do not link the discussion or assignment to any…
