My question is this, when starting a new term is there a way to hide previous blogs, quizzes, submissions from students without losing them and giving the kids a clean work space for the new tasks?
Hi @AaronHOWARD2,
I think the most common strategy, though not necessarily the only one, is to start off with new Canvas course shells each semester. You can import the content from previous semesters, but things like submissions will stay in the original term. This tends to keep things organized and helps prevent accidental modification/deletion of assignments or other things that may count as course records.

@AaronHOWARD2 Can you provide us a little more context for this question? Are you a K-12 instructor? Do your students utilize the same course space for multiple terms? Are enrollments for your course manually managed? Are you syncing your grades to an integrated application?
I just tried putting a student in two different sections in the same course (one for each term), assigning separate materials to each term, and then concluding one of the enrollments. The student was still able to see all of the Term 1 material in Term 2.
One option may be to not have Assignments, Pages, etc. open in the menu and to have students reach everything through Modules. You could then unpublish a module and have it act as an archive for the past term's materials.
Were you able to get this figured out or would you still like some help?

With the new SpeedGrader UI, we are seeing student names appear in the page title even when the “Hide student names” setting is enabled.

Speedgrader chaning file name when being downloaded. Speedgrader: When downloading a submitted assignment, the file name is being changed to an unrecognizable name — (Student's actual name was part of the file name — changed for privacy.) Ideas???
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…
I tried the Quick Reassess feature today. Once I approved the questions and created the assessment it went to the tracker for Block 1. But I can't find the new assessment in my assessments to add to Blocks 2 & 4. If I have to recreate for each class, they won't have the same questions. I also cannot find the option to…
Hello, I’m wondering if Differentiation Tags can be configured as part of a Blueprint course. Our goal is to store differentiated content (pages, assessments, etc.) centrally within the Blueprint and have it already associated with specific Differentiation Tags (e.g. Support, Core, Extension). After the Blueprint is…
