The updates to BigBlueButton are lovely, but I can no longer find (or remember?) how to wipe clean in one fell swoop ALL the annotations my students have made on a slide when I've enabled multi-user whiteboard. The control must be here somewhere!
PS: Being able to wipe the whiteboard is essential to me, especially now that BBB whiteboard is draggy and the annotations persist across slides. Super annoying. Poor Canvas Panda Bot was unable to help. After getting my hopes up by claiming there was a delete tool on the Options Menu to erase all users' marks, I told Panda Bot there was in fact none . . . and it amicably agreed! Friendly bot. I've tried BigBlueButton help, of course, but the latest pages show no "undo all" control anymore. An older BBB page confirmed where I used to do this for the past several years: "Once multi-user whiteboard is turned off, the presenter can clear all whiteboard marks with the clear all annotations option." Alas, the big ole "undo all" trash can icon that once lived just below the "undo last" backward arrow is no longer there. No mention at all on the newer BBB page.
Hello @MsTia ...I am not sure of an answer for you, but I would like to bring @ffdixon into this conversation in hopes that he will be able to help answer your question. Good luck to you!
Anyone?
Our college would like to disable the Core Canvas tool "Syllabus" by default, so that it automatically doesn't show on Course Navigation menus. Is that possible? A fellow admin asked our CSM about disabling Syllabus by default, but the CSMs may be understandably busy at the moment. Below I rounded up some past comments…
Does anyone have suggestions for bulk aligning questions at the quiz level, not the item bank level? I don't know much about API keys, but would one of these work for a bulk alignment? We have a school that is preparing for accreditation next year and they must get their quiz questions aligned to outcomes. We know they…
The most recent quizzes and question banks (including renames) are not showing up as options in the Course Import Tool. As I was creating a new quiz in one course (Classic), I went to add the questions from the Question Bank, but what I needed wasn't there. I went back to the other course to make sure everything was…
In the wake of the recent Canvas security incident, many instructors are rethinking how they protect their course materials and ensure continuity for students if the LMS becomes unavailable. A common question we’re hearing is how to effectively back up courses “just in case,” especially with an eye toward re‑distributing…
Hi all, Quick question about the Gradebook color status for a 2-part checkpoint discussion. If a student completes the first due date (initial post) but does not complete the required replies by the second due date, is there any way for Canvas to automatically show a color (e.g., missing/late) instead of staying as…
