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.)
See How do I change the start and end dates for a course?
Thank you, @stimme .
This answers my exact question, and coincides with what I figured would happen.
My exact question: "What do the students see, relative to the course opening date if I publish the course before the start date, if the 'Restrict students from viewing course before course start date' is checked?"
Is having students read the textbook considered an assignment or an activity if there is no grade but a required date?
Hoping someone can explain for me. We're using pacing to avoid manually dating regular assignments each quarter, but the dates I see are based on when the course was instantiated, while students see dates based on when they were added to the course by [backend software I don't know anything about, presumably]. If I set…
Has anyone else had issues with an influx of duplicate users in Canvas? Ours is currently in the form of an email that already exists, becoming a new user - and not automatically merging with the user ID with the same email that also is linked to our SIS ID correctly as well. 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 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…
