I need to reach out to a fellow student in my class so I may submit a project before the deadline, with canvas, I am not able to see his email as we could in Sakai.
Each user role in Canvas courses is assigned specific permissions. Generally these permissions are set up by the Canvas administrator for your institution.
The ability to view other users' email addresses on the People menu is controlled by a permission called Users - view primary email address. By default, students in Canvas have this permission disabled; refer to the Canvas Course Role Permissions resource document for information about the default roles and permissions in Canvas.
You mentioned, "I am not able to see his email as we could in Sakai," which makes me wonder if your institution changed LMS systems. If so, it might be worth asking your Canvas admin to see if this permission can be turned on.

Hello! A caution to my fellow Admins and support folks that Instructure updated their live-chat link (the one in the "(?) Help" menu, if you license their Support Chat service) fairly recently, but the old broken one is still online and appears as if it still functions. If someone hits the old link, after entering their…
I have been asked to discover whether Canvas Catalog can accept eCheck payments. My thought is that since Catalog is configured to redirect to a payment form at our Payment Gateway, that this might be more a question of configuring an additional option into the Catalog and payment gateway settings. Has anyone done this?
One of the teachers has registered for Google Services in her Canvas account. However, she is unable to link the Google Assignment LTI as an external tool for assignment submissions. The error message is "account not linked" after clicking continue at this step: When I try to go into this teacher's course as an admin and…
