Our middle school is just moving to Canvas from Google. Would you suggest that we have student complete the Passport to Canvas for students? If so how long would it take the average student to complete?
Thanks

Hi @SusanFinley6
We have had our students complete that course before and it was really beneficial as they transitioned from Google Classroom to Canvas. I don't know what your schedule is like, but we utilized homeroom time for a the first couple of weeks of school (our middle school homerooms meet daily for 25 minutes). I think it took most students 7-8 homeroom periods to complete, but of course some worked through it more quickly than others. Overall, both students and teachers found the time spent to be valuable.
Hi there @SusanFinley6 ,
I would definitely recommend using that course, or, Building with Canvas, to help your students familiarize themselves with Canvas. While I can't give you a specific amount of time it will take, because it can vary from student to student, you might be able to get it done in a morning. Our school also had it set up so students can go in and do it self-paced, too.
Best,Noah
Could there be a feature added (or maybe there is something out there already) to limit not just the file EXTENSION but the file NAME as well? For example, instead of just requiring "XLSX" extension for JoeSmith-Assignment1.XLSX, we could require "*Assignment1.XLSX" for the filename. This would ensure that students submit…
Among all the things that I wish Canvas had is that one! Is it something that is been worked on? We had it in Blackboard (legacy) and I sorely miss and need in Canvas (we just transitioned to it from Bb). Please add this very needed feature!
I have Canvas set to drop the lowest quiz score, however, my students can only barely tell that the grade text is slightly grey when dropped. Can it have a tag like the "missing" and "exempt" ones in the student gradebook?
My Canvas shell has three different sections that all meet at different times throughout the week. I need to be able to batch edit assignment due dates by section, but right now Canvas can't filter by section for batch edit. 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…
