I am in Speedgrader, trying to grade student posts and replies to a Discussion. In the past, I could see all of the students replies & original post right in Speedgrader, but now it is not appearing. I have to tediously search each student's name in a different tab, read their response, then go back to another tab and…
I am generally interested - as I've tested IgniteAI Agent against ChatGPT browser extension with computer use and it seems like it does almost nothing half as well, even when I set the ChatGPT model to very low settings. If a university has ChatGPT, Claude or Google Edu with computer/tool/browser use is there anything…

Is there a way we can push syncs to our Mastery Connect without contacting our CSM or submitting a support ticket? It would be great if site admins could do this.
I recently used the custom link feature in the root settings to add a link to our tutoring center. It worked great and the custom link I created immediately showed on the course navigation in all courses in our Canvas instance. Ideally, I would much rather have the custom link hidden by default, and give the instructor the…
This playlist is for the districts turning data into earlier, smarter action, at every level. From building the roadmap for a district-wide rollout to giving administrators a clearer read on standards mastery to one teacher's story of moving six students out of the remediation range, these sessions trace the whole arc from…
There used to be a delayed announcement checkbox. That's now gone. When the instructor put the date and time down she wanted it to be released, she said students saw it ahead of what she had put in the system. How is that happening and how do you fix this as the delayed button is no longer there.
I am working on utilizing the new Portfolio feature for our review of evidence in the practicum experience. Limitations we have come across are that multiple instructors within a course are not able to see the portfolio, only the instructor who created it. Is this something that will be available in the future? Or is there…
This playlist is for teachers figuring out where AI actually belongs in the K-12 classroom, not as a replacement for good teaching, but as one more tool in the mix. From reframing AI as an instructional partner to building AI literacy directly into Canvas modules to using AI scenarios to sharpen classroom discussion, these…

We know back-to-school is one of the busiest times of year for your team. You're welcoming students and instructors back, building out courses, and getting a new term off the ground, all while counting on the technology behind it to stay steady. Because this matters to you, it matters to us. So here's what we're doing to…
Hi! I have this question from a Special Ed teacher who is also listed as Teacher in a course with a GenEd teacher. Any ideas or workarounds on how she can see the assignment before students do? I did a google search and found some ideas, but wondering if there are tested/proven practices you have to share. Thanks! Here is…
I am responsible for several sections of a course that all need to be consistent with each other. As such, I'd like to have a common repository of files that all sections can link to easily, and if those files need updating I only have to update them once in the common repository rather than having to update each course…
Tell us what to fix in the On-Demand Training Portal. If you've taken a course in the On-Demand Training Portal, we could use about 12 minutes of your time. We're rebuilding parts of the portal. We'd rather hear what didn't work than be told it was fine. We already know some of it. You've told us about links that go…
You Don't Need a Fancy Canvas Tool to Make Your Course Look Better Before I joined Cidi Labs, I spent a lot of years on the other side of Canvas, as a teacher, Canvas user, and district administrator. One thing I always found interesting was how much you can actually do inside Canvas with nothing more than the Rich Content…

I've seen old posts regarding this question. Can Admin users generate pairing codes on behalf of students?
It is possible to import tags or other metadata when importing in a QTI file? I've tried everything I can think of, but it seems to get stripped out every time. Are any metadata types allowed? I can bring in a batch of tags questions or manually tag each one. Tagging each one is not an option. I'm using New Quizzes, so I…
Hello all! I am new to Canvas. I am trying to share IDs and passwords that are unique to students using the Gradebook like I have done in the past with Bb. How are you sharing information only fields to students that are not grades, but are important and unique to students? Since our university wants the LMS to be the…
Is there a setting where I can hide my students grade summaries on the dashboard but keep the individual category grades visible for them on their main grade page? I'll describe a little below. I want the overall course grade to be hidden from my course image on the students' dashboard with all their other courses, but I…
I am not sure if this has been suggested by others, but I'd love to seen an option in the automation set-up for post-enrollment nudges to choose how many days before the start of a course to automatically send a personalized email. Currently the trigger is set by completion threshold and days after enrollment. I'd love to…
Hi everyone We recently deployed the new Microsoft LTI in Canvas and have started using the option to create Microsoft Education assignments directly from Canvas. So far, the setup has been very easy and user-friendly. Unfortunately, we've run into a problem: when we try to change the due date of an assignment after it has…
I'm testing whether Mastery Paths can be used to give students early access to an item based on their score, while making the same item available to everyone else on a later date. Here is my setup: A 4-point assignment is the source for the Mastery Path. Students scoring 75–100% are assigned a Solutions item. The Solutions…
I am a physics teacher at a high school. I love to use the random generation of formula questions to give each student a unique quiz/test. However, units in physics are extremely important. In the past I have also used Moodle as an LMS and they included a feature that could grade the units listed after the numerical…
