As of the last week or so, the Rich Content Editor is stripping border-radius from inline styles whenever a page is saved. Pages built earlier still have it (so it's not the stored content), but the moment a page is saved through the editor, every border-radius is removed from the HTML. This looks like a regression,…
Hello, I use Hot Spot questions heavily in New Quizzes, and recently students have had issues with their selection points disappearing. After digging through the release notes, I noticed that there are new keyboard shortcuts for these questions. Critically, clicking Backspace ANYWHERE on the quiz deletes ALL selection…
I've sent a support thing and didn't get a message back, I'm sorry if I'm not supposed to put it here. I use a iPhone 8+ with the iOS of 16.7.16, ever since Instructure fixed Canvas from the hack, the website worked, but the app for me doesn't at all. I see everyone at my university (UCR) having it work for them, but few…
In the wake of the recent Canvas security incident, many instructors are rethinking how they protect their course materials and ensure continuity for students if the LMS becomes unavailable. A common question we’re hearing is how to effectively back up courses “just in case,” especially with an eye toward re‑distributing…
We have a campus reporting that notes/comments entered directly in PowerTeacher Pro are being removed after a Canvas-to-PowerSchool grade sync runs. Based on the Instructure FAQ, we understand that only the following fields are transmitted during a sync: Assignment Description Assignment Group Association/Category…
Our college would like to disable the Core Canvas tool "Syllabus" by default, so that it automatically doesn't show on Course Navigation menus. Is that possible? A fellow admin asked our CSM about disabling Syllabus by default, but the CSMs may be understandably busy at the moment. Below I rounded up some past comments…
I'm pretty sure this isn't currently possible, so I am asking for a feature request for future. My colleagues would like to request for the ability to hide the SpeedGrader average for markers. There is concern that seeing the average might skew how markers mark assignements, e.g. they might be overly generous or stricter…
Feature Request: Add Assignment-Level Prerequisites in Canvas I would like to request the ability to set prerequisites at the assignment level, rather than only at the module level. Currently, prerequisites and requirements are managed primarily through modules, which works well for controlling larger learning sequences.…
Hello! I work with a program that uses a "professionalism modifier" on its students' grades, where faculty can deduct points for poor, non-academic behavior by multiplying the grade by a percentage—i.e., if the faculty wants to reduce a student's grade by 10% for unprofessional behavior, they can multiple the student's…
While working with someone of Canvas for Elementary, a couple of ideas came up that we'd love someone from Canvas to look at. However, I'd like people to respond with reasons these ideas wouldn't work. The first idea is to be able to reduce the number of items in the Global Navigation Menu for students in a C4E class. The…
