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…
I’m a student exploring a small personal project related to Canvas grade notifications and student experience, and I wanted to ask about what is technically and policy-wise feasible within Canvas. Many students receive email notifications like “A new grade has been posted,” but then need to log into Canvas to actually see…
Hi I saw you have a nice link validator on the whole course webpage. Is there such a facility on a page-by-page basis? This would make work more time-efficient as I can do it gradually, spreading validation, as we move through the module.

It used to designate which students had posts to grade so it was easy to just go to those students. Something has…
As Xander Moffatt recently shared in Improving Canvas Infrastructure with a Content Delivery Network (CDN), we are putting AWS CloudFront in front of Canvas in order to improve speed and reliability. During continued testing, we discovered an additional change that affects API response headers, and we want to make sure…
In speed grader you receive the students initial discussion board posting and their peer reply. We have time deadlines and criteria for each posting.
