I want to make attendance reports, but the platform asks me for the SIS number. How can I get that number or is there something I need to do (setting), or am I not doing it right
Hi @Robaguilar76 -
Assuming you are a Teacher/Instructor in a course: if you click on People and see your list of students, there usually is a column for Login ID, SIS ID, Section, etc
If you do not see SIS ID, it's possible that your district or institution has turned off the permission for you to see it.
I personally haven't used the Attendance features, so I'm sorry I'm not able to provide more help with that.
Here are some guides that might help:
Hi @Robaguilar76,

For example, user 1 is xyz@gmail.com without a…
Canvas Portfolios provide a powerful platform for students to document their learning journey, reflect on their progress, and showcase competencies. However, in programs where multiple educators are involved in assessment—such as team teaching, moderation, or competency-based evaluation—there are important questions about…
I wonder if others have had this response, but I think it is troubling messaging for students that, no matter how well they may do on an assignment, they are given a signal that anything below a perfect score should be marked/denoted with a red color, as if those grades are poor, or even lesser. I think it is harmful for…
I have a student that was in a tag called "ac" and recently moved him to a different tag, "AC." I did ensure the old tag was removed; however on a canvas PAGE he sees both pages the "ac" and "AC" Canvas Pages. I removed the assigned tags to the page and the one tag to the student thinking maybe if I remove and reassign…
