What suggestions do you have for Building Substitute Teachers to leverage the different aspects of Canvas if it isn't currently being widely used at the school?
Hey @MrsLovejoy!
I think some of this will depend upon how much access your subs have to Canvas at your institution. My district uses Canvas for grades 3-12 and our subs do not have access to Canvas. If something needs to be done in Canvas for class when there is a sub, our teachers usually put explicit instructions in Canvas for their students, and the lesson plans for the sub often just state to have the students access Canvas with any necessary details. I also find it helpful to give the substitute an idea of what the students should be working on so they have an idea on how to redirect students if necessary. Depending on the time of year and how much the younger students are familiar with Canvas, some of our teachers in the younger grades have their students do things outside of Canvas on days when a sub is covering their class.
We are testing a third party integration from our college's ERP provider. We have connected it to our test environment. It seems to have very few features and options. So, just wondering if there is a way to monitor API calls. I was able to use the DAPClient in Python to download canvas_logs in our production environment.…
To the Canvas Product Team, I am writing to request a new global or course-level setting for the Rich Content Editor (RCE). Currently, when images are uploaded or embedded, Canvas defaults to displaying the full image. For many lab-based and data-heavy courses—such as my current molecular biology lab course—we often need…
Our Spanish department uses New Quizzes/Essay question type for students to record themselves talking using the record media function in the RCE. They did this all last year. However, now when the students log in to take the quize, the upload/record media icon isn't available to them. Is this a new issues? Anyone have any…
I am trying to use Learning Outcomes for my course which has many sections each term. We currently have no institutional, school or program outcomes. I created a set of outcomes for Section 1 of my course. I then labelled every question in the item banks I was using in my first quiz (New Quiz) of the semester. I got a nice…
I have been experimenting with NotebookLM for some professional and hobby interests and have discovered incredible insights from querying sources with the Gemini chatbox interface. For our ID work in Canvas, we need an AI-powered dashboard similar to NotebookLM where IDs and Directors can query about their assigned courses…
