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 policies around how many days they have access to the course. The only problem is that observers are receiving notifications from the course before their access window even begins.…
Hi, I'm reading that Amazon is blocking Meta's Muse from making purchases there. Could Instructure have Canvas instances block AI agents similarly - or, leave institutions with the ability to choose to block, etc. etc.? Limiting access tokens is great and all, but we're pretty sure all these web browsers with AI enabled,…
How does one view/sort submissions of specific sections within a Google Assignment, if grading is done through Google vs Speedgrader?
One of the teachers has registered for Google Services in her Canvas account. However, she is unable to link the Google Assignment LTI as an external tool for assignment submissions. The error message is "account not linked" after clicking continue at this step: When I try to go into this teacher's course as an admin and…
