Is anyone familiar with a way to setup/create default assignment group categories and weights for an entire sub-account at the Canvas District Admin Level? Our goal is to decrease grade pass back issues with teachers creating these on their own.
Hi @luftr,
The only way you would be able to do this is:

Hi there @luftr ,
To my knowledge, there isn't a direct way within the Canvas LMS UI to create assignment groups for every course at once. This is really something that the teacher creates and can organize to their liking.

My only option is now to manually (tediously) edit due dates for each assignment individually.
Morning! One of the more frustrating aspects of Canvas are groups and the issues that show up when copying courses that have them. But now we have yet another issue. Most recently we have had instances where people mark an assignment/discussion as a group assignment but then do not link the discussion or assignment to any…
So, we have encountered a few assignments where the Speedgrader presents the teacher with the "Empty Course" page, even though the course is not empty. I have discovered two New Quizzes in the same course where this has occurred, despite multiple students being assigned (at Module level, which passes the permission down to…
A teacher has expressed concerns with the recent update. Exact concern is as follows: "My Canvas has been acting glitchy since the last "update." For instance, when I grade essays the highlight and cursor tools do not always work. I have to try highlighting several times,or come back later to finish. It's told me I "ran…
