Hello @VernonShelton,
If you are receiving the error message that is described at https://support.respondus.com/hc/en-us/articles/16543704243483-Exam-title-indicates-a-webcam-must-be-used-but-the-course-is-unknown-to-our-servers, you need to tell your instructor that they need to go into the Canvas course and click on the (it is not visible to students but it is visible to instructors) "LockDown Browser" link that appears on the left-side course navigation area.
If the problem continues, reach out to your school's Help Desk, IT Department, or Canvas support team for help.

Hi There, We are in the process of transitioning to Canvas this year and were wanting to connect with any other MYP schools to see how you setup Assignment and grading under your modules. Or you could guide us to any resources you may have.
