With a lot a self-paces course work, is there a way to trigger an email when a student completes the course to the correct teacher?
Hi @ShawnHuff ,
I'm a CSM, part of the EMEA team. I came across such a similar request before but Canvas doesn’t have a built in “email when a student completes a course” feature, but there are several ways institutions have set this up.
Approaches that work well:
Module Requirements & Prerequisites – Many institutions make the last step of a course a “completion activity” (like a required short quiz or survey) and set it as the final requirement in the last module. Once that’s submitted, the teacher can be notified and its an easier way to filter out students who have completed the whole requirements and course.How do I add prerequisites to a module? How do I add requirements to a module?
API – Some institutions use this to detect when all module requirements are met and automatically send an email to the correct teacher. This option does require technical setup and would depend on the inhouse resources you have. Canvas has an open API which is great for integrations or getting data.Welcome to the Canvas LMS API DocumentationThis also was discussed in discussion regarding notifications on completion as mentioned by @james_whalley.
Cheers,

@ShawnHuff It looks like there was a discussion regarding notifications on completion a couple of years ago. Do I understand correctly that you want different instructors to be notified based on which students complete the course? I do not believe there is a direct way to do this. It might be possible by using code, the API, and some sort of database, but it is not part of Canvas' current functionality.
I was wanting to request an addition to the canvas system. I was wondering if it would be possible to place a roster count on the grade book page. I manage multiple classes and sometimes when I am booking a room or requesting items for a lab it would be incredibly nice to just open the course grade book and have the number…
Hi - I have students submit .java files to Canvas, and I use SpeedGrader to give line-by-line feedback. This stopped working in the last couple days - student files show up in preview has containing the content "JWT rejected: JTI has already been used" instead of the correct content of their file. Thus I cannot give…

Is there a trick to importing a rubric when using the Canvas rubric template? I download the csv file and fill in the Canvas Rubric template from the Enhanced Grading feature and nothing happens when I try to upload it. It only shows the file name, but not it's size. Yes, it is still a CSV. I've tried removing all symbols…
With the new SpeedGrader UI, we are seeing student names appear in the page title even when the “Hide student names” setting is enabled. When using Classic Quizzes, there is no option within the quiz settings to enable anonymous grading, so we rely on instructors using the hide student names setting in SpeedGrader to…
