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?

Is the Submitted date and time the moment when the button was pressed, or the moment when the quiz uploaded into the system?
Is there a way for the grading rubric to have a default selection set? I have a rubric that checks if a student has mastered a learning objective at the end of the semester (yes or no) and most students are 'yes'. It is tedious to click yes 10 times per student in each class. Can the rubric auto generate a 'yes' and I can…
Hi all, Quick question about the Gradebook color status for a 2-part checkpoint discussion. If a student completes the first due date (initial post) but does not complete the required replies by the second due date, is there any way for Canvas to automatically show a color (e.g., missing/late) instead of staying as…
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…
In legacy SpeedGrader, the instructors see students' initial post followed by replies. Why is it no longer listed that way in the Modernized SpeedGrader? Grading is made easier if the initial post is first, making it easily identifiable.
