Why doesn't Canvas have a way for case managers to manage accommodations/modifications at the account level? It seems inefficient for multiple teachers to have to go in and manager each individual student.
Hi @ThomasVermiglio,
By "case managers", I believe you are referring to Instructure's technical support agents. Please correct me if I am wrong.
Case managers do not have the ability to do this because (in theory) individual schools, courses, and/or teachers could have different views whether someone else (whether a case manager or a school's own technical support people or Canvas admins) and give some an additional attempt, more time, and/or change due or until dates.
At my school, I am the highest level Canvas admin and I do not make those types of changes without consulting with a teacher and typically only if they are not able to do it (they might not be in the office or at a computer).

Even if there was a way to go by each student before work is assigned. For example, if student Jane Doe needs extended time/due dates that can be added, or if she needs reduced choices to allow that BEFORE work is assigned. I'm terrified I will miss someone's accommodations with the current setup of adding AFTER the work is assigned.

We have enabled the automatic migration of Classic to New Quizzes. When we import QTI files, though, they always fail to load as New Quizzes. If we disabled New Quiz Migration, it works. Why does it only work for Classic Quizzes? Are there any guaranteed tools that will generate QTI files that will import correctly as New…
Is it possible to change the system-wide notification defaults for a hosted Canvas instance? Since I can't find a way to do it, nor any reference to doing it, I'm assuming not but wanted to make sure before I give that as an answer.
Hi everyone, I had a teacher reach out with an odd (and concerning) LockDown Browser issue and wanted to see if others have experienced something similar. A student was taking a quiz using Respondus LockDown Browser on a Chromebook 300e Yoga G4 (8GB), a 2‑in‑1 device that can flip into tablet mode. During the active quiz,…
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…
