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.
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…
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…
