I uploaded a power point to my CANVAS course and my student told me that since they don't have power point on their PC, they cannot open the power point. What should my student do in order to open the powerpoint?
This is interesting. Canvas will preview the PowerPoint slides directly on the page. No need for PowerPoint to be utilized. Tell the student not to download the file to open it. Just click on the file in your Canvas Module. The preview of the presentation should spin up automatically.

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…
