I am wondering if Canvas could consider allowing admins to change the name of course navigation items? I am thinking particularly of the item called 'modules' which is a really useful item to have available to students - but the name is confusing in our case as the whole course is called a 'module'. Thank you for your consideration.
@marie_pearson - yes, your Canvas Admin can apply coding to the theme of your account (or subaccount(s)) which will function to rename a course navigation item. We do that now for the Canvas Syllabus page and rename it 'Summary' as we have a 3rd party syllabus tool which we have appear as 'Syllabus'. And we also have this here:
/ Rename BigBlueButton to Conferencesif ($('#section-tabs a[href*="/conferences"].conferences').length) {$('#section-tabs a[href*="/conferences"].conferences').html($('#section-tabs a[href*="/conferences"].conferences').html().replace(/BigBlueButton [(]Formerly Conferences[)]/g, "Conferences")).attr("aria-label", "Conferences");}// Same change in Navigation > Settingsif ($('#nav_edit_tab_id_12').length) {$('#nav_edit_tab_id_12').html($('#nav_edit_tab_id_12').html().replace(/BigBlueButton [(]Formerly Conferences[)]/g, "Conferences")).attr("aria-label", "Conferences");}
One consideration is that the term 'Modules' is so much part of a Canvas course, the guides, etc. I would for sure consider if changing that name created new problems. 😉 ~ Jeff
Thank you so much for your quick response Jeff - very helpful. I agree that renaming can come with issues of its own! Food for thought… 🤔

We are looking to the Portfolio option but I have a few things I am not sure of that would be crucial to be able to apply the way it is needed. One, can you have the portfolio follow the student through the entire program (five total semesters) seamlessly or is it just going to be one semester? We have a clinical portfolio…

Is there a way for me to create a rubric that shows BOTH points and a letter grade, while the Gradebook in both my view and student view shows JUST points? I tried setting up the rubric showing a letter grade in the grading scheme, and a letter shows in the Assessment box…but then my gradebook also shows the letter grade,…
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.
