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?

A recent change my students have been complaining about is that they now have to wait for Canvas to process submissions so that it can be displayed within the browser before they can check that the submission worked. When the servers are heavily loaded I have seen student need to wait 5 minutes for this. When submitting at…
If I access to the student card I can see the recent messages, but I would like to see all the messages, not only the recent. Thank you
We are testing a third party integration from our college's ERP provider. We have connected it to our test environment. It seems to have very few features and options. So, just wondering if there is a way to monitor API calls. I was able to use the DAPClient in Python to download canvas_logs in our production environment.…
To the Canvas Product Team, I am writing to request a new global or course-level setting for the Rich Content Editor (RCE). Currently, when images are uploaded or embedded, Canvas defaults to displaying the full image. For many lab-based and data-heavy courses—such as my current molecular biology lab course—we often need…
Our Spanish department uses New Quizzes/Essay question type for students to record themselves talking using the record media function in the RCE. They did this all last year. However, now when the students log in to take the quize, the upload/record media icon isn't available to them. Is this a new issues? Anyone have any…
