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.

Is there a trick to importing a rubric when using the Canvas rubric template? I download the csv file and fill in the Canvas Rubric template from the Enhanced Grading feature and nothing happens when I try to upload it. It only shows the file name, but not it's size. Yes, it is still a CSV. I've tried removing all symbols…
With the new SpeedGrader UI, we are seeing student names appear in the page title even when the “Hide student names” setting is enabled. When using Classic Quizzes, there is no option within the quiz settings to enable anonymous grading, so we rely on instructors using the hide student names setting in SpeedGrader to…
Speedgrader chaning file name when being downloaded. Speedgrader: When downloading a submitted assignment, the file name is being changed to an unrecognizable name — (Student's actual name was part of the file name — changed for privacy.) Ideas???
We are all familiar with the standard Course Calendar, where assignment due dates are automatically added. However, at my institution, we structure our assignments as Challenges that develop over a period of time, rather than just a single deadline. Currently, the calendar only highlights the "end point." It would be a…
