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.

Yes, it is still a CSV. I've tried removing all symbols…
With the new SpeedGrader UI, we are seeing student names appear in the page title even when the “Hide student names” setting is enabled. When using Classic Quizzes, there is no option within the quiz settings to enable anonymous grading, so we rely on instructors using the hide student names setting in SpeedGrader to…
Speedgrader chaning file name when being downloaded. Speedgrader: When downloading a submitted assignment, the file name is being changed to an unrecognizable name — (Student's actual name was part of the file name — changed for privacy.) Ideas???
We are all familiar with the standard Course Calendar, where assignment due dates are automatically added. However, at my institution, we structure our assignments as Challenges that develop over a period of time, rather than just a single deadline. Currently, the calendar only highlights the "end point." It would be a…
