Canvas Regional Groups or Novice Groups

Hi,

I have searched the Canvas Community and much of what I find is outdated..

I am curious if there are any more local canvas groups to New Mexico or West Texas? I know there was just a Canvas Connect in Houston but we missed it!!

Also as a new director, with a new LMS administrator - I wondered if there were any novice groups.. some of the coding conversation can be a little overwhelming.. and wondered if there is a space for newbies to get our feet wet.

Thanks..

Terri

@DrTerriC Welcome! I wanted to chime in on the second portion -- it can definitely be overwhelming being a new LMS administrator. We do have the Canvas Admin user hub that is an amazing resource for Canvas Admins and its a good start on how to be a Canvas Admin.

I'm happy to be someone that you can email or contact for any questions regarding being a Canvas admin and also coding (I used to be a CS teacher) -- I love helping newbies out and showing tips and tricks. My email is melodyc[dot]lam[at]cms.k12.nc.us if you want to reach out.

Feature Request: Global Setting for "Display Text Link" as Default for Image Uploads
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…

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…
