Um, has anyone done a Canvas orientation that includes like breakout groups or team activities? I’m planning one for our new students at my University, and I’m wondering how to keep it interactive. Would love some ideas!!
@OliviyaCarter Have you tried using Canvas Catalog for enrollment and Zoom for group breakouts? https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Canvas-Catalog/What-is-Canvas-Catalog/ta-p/1764
@jsowalsk @OliviyaCarter For breakout groups, Canvas has a Groups tool that’s super handy. You could assign students into teams, and they’ll get their own little workspace to collaborate—think group discussions, file sharing, and assignments just for them.
Another idea: you could mix it up with some live Zoom sessions (Canvas has integrations for this) to do real-time breakout rooms. That way, they can work together while still feeling like part of the larger group.
What do you think? Have you tried anything similar before, or are you looking for ideas that are more independent?
We use course pacing to manage due dates, because we run ~20 something courses each quarter and manually setting due dates would be a nightmare. Several courses have two core topics. We want to allow students to choose which of these they will pursue first. Is there any way to configure multiple course paces with different…
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 wonder if others have had this response, but I think it is troubling messaging for students that, no matter how well they may do on an assignment, they are given a signal that anything below a perfect score should be marked/denoted with a red color, as if those grades are poor, or even lesser. I think it is harmful for…
