I am an instructor, and a canvas course that I created with my supervisor was deleted. Can any troubleshooting help be done to recover the lost course?
Hi @awwillingham ...
The answer is a definite "maybe"? This all has to do with timing.
Do you happen to know the Course ID of the course that was deleted? The Course ID would be the number that appears in the URL of the course that was deleted. For example:
https://SchoolName.instructure.com/courses/123456
If you don't know what that number is, there's a chance that your course may be located in your school's "test" or "beta" environment...assuming that you've had access to your course for at least a week or more. These two Canvas environments are different than your school's "production" environment...which is the environment that you are typically logging in to on a daily basis. I always make sure to tell people that once you are finished using the "test" or "beta" environment, log out of the environment so that you aren't getting confused as to which environment you're logged in to. Here are some Guides:
If you find your course in either of these environments, it will have the same Course ID number that it had in "production". Keep track of that number.
Next, your Canvas administrator will need to do something on his/her end that instructors do not have access to. There's a way to restore courses that have been deleted by using the Course ID number you obtained from "test" or "beta".
Hopefully all this information will be helpful to you. If you are unable to find your course in "test" or "beta", I recommend reaching out to Canvas Support. No guarantees, but they may be able to do some magic on their end to find your course and get it restored for you. How do I get help with Canvas as an instructor?
Good luck as you try these things out! Keep us posted!
Another tip for figuring out the Course ID number is talking to your Canvas admin and letting them know when you last worked on the course. They can then look at your Canvas history for that time and determine the course ID number from your history. You can also look at your own browser history to identify it as well!
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…
Among all the things that I wish Canvas had is that one! Is it something that is been worked on? We had it in Blackboard (legacy) and I sorely miss and need in Canvas (we just transitioned to it from Bb). Please add this very needed feature!
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…
A recent change my students have been complaining about is that they now have to wait for Canvas to process submissions so that it can be displayed within the browser before they can check that the submission worked. When the servers are heavily loaded I have seen student need to wait 5 minutes for this. When submitting at…
