It would be nice to add a feature where clicking on a person's profile picture pops up with a bigger version of the profile picture. I would like to use Canvas to help me learn names and faces of students, but the pictures are too small to see.
Hi Michael,
That's a great idea -- I've often wanted to click to view a bigger version of the profile picture.

Hi @MichaelAnd1 ...
I completely agree with @Hildi_Pardo. This would be good for you to submit as a new idea here in the Community.
I'm not sure if your school has purchased the DesignPLUS product from Cidi Labs, but in that product, there is an option that Canvas administrators can enable that makes student profile pictures larger in size...just what you are asking.

Hello, I am using checkpoint discussions. When I see that I have some submissions in my To Do list to grade, I click on it, go into Speedgrader, and now have to search to see which students have posted or not. It used to designate which students had posts to grade so it was easy to just go to those students. Something has…
I'm not sure that this is the right place to post about this, but I was wondering if anyone has a fix for how the scroll bar for the entire page covers the scroll bar for just a document viewed in Canvas. The scroll bar for a document will stay visible until one attempts to interact with it, at which point the bar for the…
Hi There, We are in the process of transitioning to Canvas this year and were wanting to connect with any other MYP schools to see how you setup Assignment and grading under your modules. Or you could guide us to any resources you may have.
After using Canvas for a while, I picked up a small habit that’s saved me some last-minute stress with written submissions. Even when drafts are original, longer explanations and summaries tend to reuse common phrasing, especially in research-heavy assignments. Before submitting, I usually do a quick cleanup pass to reduce…
