I manually paired students and observers in my course, but parent observers are saying they still need a code. How can I help them connect?
When you say you have manually paired them, have you generated a pairing code for the parent? It might be easier to advise knowing what you did to pair them.
As for pairing codes, there are several ways to do this: https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Canvas-Resource-Documents/Pairing-Codes-FAQ/ta-p/388738 Some of them require your institution to have given particular users the ability to generate a code.
It is possible for them to get a link through their student's account. They just have the student sign in and they can generate a pairing code by following these instructions: https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Student-Guide/How-do-I-generate-a-pairing-code-for-an-observer-as-a-student/ta-p/418

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…
This is my first time using the new discussion "checkpoints". I'm hoping the multiple due dates are effective, but using the "checkpoints" does seem to create other problems: They only allow for ONE "reply to topic". The way I use discussions in some of my classes is to allow for students to ask MULTIPLE questions per…
