One of students is abroad in South America and has lost access to the internet. She texted me her discussion post. How do I as instructor post her discussion on the discussion board so others may respond to it?
Hey @seshadris ,
Thanks for posting on the Instructure Community!
As an instructor, I always recommend either going into student view and pasting the discussion response there, however the name of the 'account' will be 'Test Student'. Or, you could always just post it on your own account and just specify who's response it is. However, without being a canvas account admin at the root-level and with having the Users - act as permission enabled for your account, you can't really post the discussion on behalf of her.
Hope that helps!- Noah
Hi @seshadris - My recommendation might be to just do a regular Reply with your own account, and in the Text box, using the Rich Content Editor tools, create a Header that says something like "Reply on Behalf of {Student's Name}" -- then paste their response.
That header will look large and may help others identify it as from that student (I've included a screenshot as an example).
Hope this helps!
Thanks, Noah.
Thanks, Hildi. That is a great solution.
I'm writing this question due to concerns regarding my students overusing AI in my classroom, which is directly in violation with my syllabus. This has been a problem for years, but recently has gotten out of hand. Since the new school year is around the corner, I'd like to know of any tactics or settings that disable AI…
I recently had an exam provided as a Canvas Quiz in my class, and used some questions copied from question banks from other sections and prior years of the course. Some of those questions had "General Answer Comment" text already saved in them. I changed that text in several questions as I updated/changed the questions.…
I would like to suggest improvements to how collaborations function within Canvas LMS. Currently, collaborations are somewhat limited in how they can be accessed and integrated into course content. One potential improvement would be allowing collaborations to be directly linkable within Pages and Modules. This would make…
We are using the Learning Mastery Gradebook with an rubric on account-level. When we enter the gradebook, the sorting does not make any sense. How can we make the sorting so it makes sense to us. It feels like a randam sorting.
Can Canvas please create the option to use a "total points" system such that both the gradebook and the student grades page can show accumulated total points, not as a fraction of total points earned/total points possible? This would be SO helpful for progress tracking in a self-paced course where I do not want 0s entered…
