When will the new courses be available to add to the favorites list
Hi there, @359111 ...
When you are on your "Courses" >> "All Courses" screen, you can only mark a course as a "favorite" (with a yellow/orange star) if the course is "active". You cannot "favorite" courses that are no longer "active". The "active" status will depend on when your semester/term stars and when your instructor has "published" the course. You can hover your mouse cursor over a star to get additional information about it. Additional information about this can be found at: How do I customize my Courses list?.
I hope this helps to provide clarity on this for you. Sing out if you have any questions...thanks!
Hello Chris _ Hofer,

Like my Spring Semester classes are not showing up, even though it is saying they are active.

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…
