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 @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. I don't have an example of what this looks like, but it does make profile pictures look larger (large squares) on the "People" page, and it is much easier to see the profile pictures students have uploaded to their Canvas accounts.

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.

Our "Outcomes" has not been working for about 6 months. Teachers can't build and attach Outcomes to new quizzes. Canvas said it was a rollover issue. Canvas won't fix it unless we pay them $2000 to "re-train" us for 10 hours. Has anyone had this problem and did it get fixed?
