Is there a way for a student in a course with multiple instructors to send an email to them without having to add each individual instructor in the "To" field (e.g. shared inbox) so all of the instructors can monitor the inbox?
Hi @KrystalLaharty,
I don't believe there is quite the concept of a "shared inbox" for multiple users in Canvas. If a student wants to message all of the teachers in a course though, they should be able to just use the "all" option after selecting the course and teacher role, as shown here:
This should create basically a group conversation thread, which is similar to what I'd call a shared inbox, and does not require the student to select every teacher. The option to message all like this may be limited by some permission settings though, so you may need to work with your school/institution Canvas teams if your students don't see this option.
Hope this helps!

I have now had a few cases of students' responses in New Quizzes not being recorded. Normally, students get a connection error and can restart, but here they get new questions one at a time with no indication of a problem until they try to submit the exam and find that they can't submit it. Students are losing 20-90% of…
We assign coursework by section, and teachers enter the transfer grades on each assignment from before the student’s enrollment date. However, those grades do not satisfy the modules’ “Submit the assignment” requirements. Students still have to go back to the beginning of the school year and submit blank documents and…
A Discussion assignment needs to be able to have more than 2 due dates. A discussion is just that--a back and forth. To be an effective kind of assignment, Instructure needs to modify them so they can have 3 or more due dates. Students also need to be notified when someone posts within their group. Currently, students turn…
This is incredibly frustrating. I use a rubric with imported outcomes to grade my assignments. Each problem is mapped to an outcome, scored on a scale with 4 tiers (the upper 2 tiers granting mastery). For a few of my students—not all—grading a new assignment deletes their earned mastery on an earlier, unrelated…
Cordial saludo Actualmente estamos presentando una inconsistencia en New Quizzes al momento de realizar la migración y posterior edición de las evaluaciones. Específicamente, al intentar modificar una pregunta y eliminar una de sus opciones de respuesta, el sistema no permite ejecutar dicha acción. Con el fin de descartar…
