Exporting announcements with a picture. Will this ever be addressed by Instructure??? I teach 4 classes and have to copy over 40 some announcements to each class. The college wants the picture included.
Can you clarify how you are exporting announcements?
I just made an announcement with an image, and copied it to another course (image below), and the announcement was copied, with the image included.

I would like to export my announcements from an old class to a new class and include my Profile picture and name. I only export announcements which are about 25 or more a class, teaching 4 classes and I have to copy and paste as they want our Profile picture to show in the Announcements.

Is there a trick to importing a rubric when using the Canvas rubric template?

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.

It would be a…
