A few tasks in Canvas are ridiculously tedious with too many unnecessary steps.
I cannot help with it being too many clicks as that can be subjective person to person. However, I did see one thing you mentioned in which the workflow may not be ideal. You described the process you use to create pages. Do you use Modules to organize content? If you do, then yes, the process you are going through is likely not ideal. After all that to create the page, you then need to go to Modules to even add it.
Instead, create from within Modules themselves. On that page, in the module you want to add the page, click on the plus sign on the far right. Change the dropdown to Pages (or any other item you want to create in the list). At the top of the list of pages is an option that says "Create Pages" It will give you a spot to type in the name and whether you want it indented or not. I always recommend this when we get new teachers on staff because it creates the page AND adds it to the desired module in one step.
I rarely create from Pages or Assignments anymore because I rely on Modules to organize content.By the way, you have a good idea for enhancing announcement creation.

Our institution is setting up 9 institutional outcomes in Canvas. Several of our outcomes have multiple skill sets within the rubric. For example: Critical Reading – Skill Set A Critical Reading – Skill Set B Critical Reading – Skill Set C Our understanding is that Canvas Outcomes data reports can provide the overall/total…
I am just curiousas to why there is not a field to enter a description for an outcome at the account level? Or at least edit the rating when you attach/link an account level outcome to a rubric. When you create a new criterion for a rubric, you enter a decription for a rating, but for an account level outcome.
We use a pre- post- model to measure learning which requires student-question matching from two time periods. This requires exporting quiz data to CSV to do the analysis properly. (I can get into more detail if needed.) The New Quizzes Student Analysis CSV export has repeated blocks of ItemID then columns related to that…
Hello! A caution to my fellow Admins and support folks that Instructure updated their live-chat link (the one in the "(?) Help" menu, if you license their Support Chat service) fairly recently, but the old broken one is still online and appears as if it still functions. If someone hits the old link, after entering their…
