How do I request a course?
Hi there, @MichaelKariwo ...
Your question is a bit vague, so I need to ask some clarifying questions. Are you a student or are you an instructor? Also, are you working within your school's paid Canvas environment? Or, are you working within the Free For Teachers version of Canvas?
If you are an instructor, many schools will have an Online Learning / eLearning / Distance Education team that will be able to help you get a new course shell created for you...and then enroll you as the instructor in the course. Some schools allow instructors to create new course shells in Canvas on their own, but this is not always the case. So, it is best to reach out to your Canvas team, and someone should be able to help you.

We are all familiar with the standard Course Calendar, where assignment due dates are automatically added. 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…
