I believe there is now way to schedule a course's publish date. Am I correct?
@JonShanahan Canvas uses start & end dates for terms, courses, and sections, as well as restricted viewing settings, to determine whether students can open published courses. If you want to set up a course now for students to be able to open at a future date, the best way is probably setting a start date in the future, restricting students from viewing the course before the start date, then publishing the course. When the start date passes, they'll be able to open the course. (If multiple sections with different start dates are in the same course, you can use the same approach with section start dates.)

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…
