Can anyone provide guidance on how to create an anonymous end-of-semester course evaluation in Canvas?
Hi @SJSC_Registrar,
I think you're going to find that a vast majority of schools/institutions conduct course evaluations using systems other than Canvas (though many do integrate with Canvas to provide access and messaging to students and faculty). My institution used Watermark Course Evaluations and Surveys, but I know Blue another such system, along with CourseEval and others.
If you really want to use Canvas itself, you could create anonymous surveys using the classic quiz tool, but you'd have to develop processes and procedures to get those quizzes created in each course and somehow collect the results in bulk if you were interested in that. The dedicated course evaluation systems make all of that much easier and are usually worth the extra $ they would cost over trying to get something going at scale in Canvas. If this is just a one-off evaluation for a specific course, that would be pretty easily doable via classic quizzes though.
I hope this info helps a bit!

Is having students read the textbook considered an assignment or an activity if there is no grade but a required date?
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…
I have a student that was in a tag called "ac" and recently moved him to a different tag, "AC." I did ensure the old tag was removed; however on a canvas PAGE he sees both pages the "ac" and "AC" Canvas Pages. I removed the assigned tags to the page and the one tag to the student thinking maybe if I remove and reassign…
