Hi, We use a third party (LTI) for our syllabus. We want to hide the Canvas version completely. I found an old post that provided some javascript for our theme. That works great for the desktop version, but it does not work for the mobile version. The code is $(document).ready(function(){ $('a.syllabus').hide(); }); The…
Pages must be one of the least used features in Canvas and I can remember a discussion from a long time ago about whether pages might be dropped from the platform! Over the last few years, Pages have had a new lease of life, with the ability to embed external documents from Google and (eventually) from Microsoft to quick…
With the enforcement of the Discussion Re-design coming this summer, we have already transitioned to using it to avoid disruptions mid-semester. We are looking forward to the checkpoints feature that will be coming soon and some of the other new features like being able to view edit history. However, we are not ready to…
Hi, All, We are hoping that possibly Javascript/CSS might be able to show/hide the Grader role from an instructor so that only FERPA trained students would be able to be assigned that role. Our idea is to use our unused 'bio' field in Users to add FERPA attribute (indicating the user has gone through FERPA training.) This…
I am looking to build a theme on canvas that hides the course navigation menu by default for anyone not logged in or with certain roles. I'm helping a team to build public courses, and we don't want people having to log in. Ideally we would just be showing the page content and then having the learner navigate linearly. The…
Hi, We want to create a custom dashboard view that leverages outcomes to show learners what they have done, where they are going, and the complete "path". When a user logs on, they see in a glance what they should be doing. For reference, there are 8 courses with a total of 180 lessons. Every assignment can be tied to an…
Out school has a preferred stylesheet for colours, fonts and sizes. I have tried to stick with this throughout but also made use of primary and secondary colour schemes.

We want to explore customizing the JavaScript & CSS on our system to automatically adjust fonts/text sizes and provide a more consistent experience with text for our users: https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Admin-Guide/How-do-I-upload-custom-JavaScript-and-CSS-files-to-an-account/ta-p/253. If you have customized this for…
Our school uses very specific terminology. (i.e. they do not use the term Courses, Assignments, or Grades) We know how to change those terms in the Navigation, but they are also used throughout the platform. Has anyone had any luck with changing terminology throughout the platform? Canvas is suggesting our users adopt the…
We are new to Canvas. We are migrating from Powerschool Learning (formerly Haiku). In Haiku we had it set up so students could view their grades but parents could only view assignments but not specific grades. This is an important priority for our administration as we want to put the primary academic responsibility on the…
