I have a Canvas teacher account and I want to become an observer for my son but I do not want to make a new account. is there a way to become an observer through my teacher account?
@ScienceJar27 It is absolutely possible to observe your son! You can be added to a course your son is in with the Observer role (on your teacher account) and you'll be able to observe him that way no problem! You will need the teacher or an admin to add you to the course, most likely.

It would be a…
The current placement of the "Submit" button creates a "slip" in user behavior where habit-clicking "Next" leads to an accidental final submission. I think Canvas could easily fix this by: Moving the Submit button away from the navigation buttons (maybe above the question instead of below it) and/or Adding a "Confirm…
