I'm an Admin at my univeristy and we started receiving support tickets about user not reciving email notifications even though their notification settings (global and individual course) turned on.
Has anyone else been getting similar reports?
I would suggest checking with folks on your IS team about any filter that may be blocking.
The difference is: Are the emails being sent by Canvas? If yes, why are they not being received by your district?
You can Check to see if email notifications are being sent.
I have had this with specific users here and there in the past. We have outlook and sometimes they are getting notifications to their "Other" folder instead of their "Focused" folder. Other times they may have accidentally marked a Canvas email as junk or spam, or something similar to block -- in this case they need to add instructure as Safe.
If you have MANY users reporting this -- perhaps check if Instructure has been blocked by some filter?

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…
The current placement of the "Submit" button creates a "slip" in user behavior where habit-clicking "Next" leads to an accidental final submission. I think Canvas could easily fix this by: Moving the Submit button away from the navigation buttons (maybe above the question instead of below it) and/or Adding a "Confirm…
