Hi, I am new to canvas and I am assigned a voiceover for 10 slides for up to 12 minutes. I have the video of me talking for 12 minutes… but nothing else. My background picture is the only thing that shows up when I select both for the option or webcam and screen. I have tried PP presentation mode and PDF form… nothing…
If you missed it, you missed it. But here’s your chance to catch up (and crash the next one). This one was a conversation as much as a demo. @Renee Carney welcomed @Daniel Guillot and @JostLeavell for a session that moved from course evaluation to exit ticket automation to transcript-to-lesson in under 30 minutes.…
Canvas deploys contain code changes that are intended to fix bugs, improve performance, and prepare for new features. These deploys take place every two weeks and can be tested in the beta environment before the production deploy date indicated in the title of this document. New to deploy notes?

I have had this issue, despite entering their grades as A, B, C etc. Does anyone know how I can fix this so students receive correct grades?
I'm taking a medical coding course. I'm using "reading mode." Every time the text comes to the abbreviation for "doctor" — DR — reading mode reads DR as DRIVE unless DR is at the beginning of a sentence or directly after a comma. It's really annoying and disconcerting. Is there any way that reading mode for "DR" in a…
Just wanted to give an update that it appears they have fixed the issue with students not being asked for their email when they register using the link from the teacher's course (https://canvaslite.instructure.com/register). I am not sure what to do for my students who did not get asked for an email, but I'm thinking I may…
Hello everyone! I'm currently setting up Canvas Lite for my healthcare training academy and am having trouble figuring out how to add students to my course. I'm an instructor and manage my own training program. I've been exploring Canvas Lite but haven't been able to find a clear way to manually enroll students. I have a…
We have been using the class="enhanceable_content tabs" to create a functional 'unit content' homepage for our courses. Overnight our tabs no longer work. As far as I can tell, it is due to that specific reference no longer finding what it's referencing. I dug through instructure's code and found they had based it on…
When we do the final assessment/calculation, it is only visible at the very top, which means one has to scroll up to see the student’s score. Personally, I override the pre-calculated scores often, and so I value being able to easily see the total scores. It would be even better if we could see a running calculation as we…
We are looking to the Portfolio option but I have a few things I am not sure of that would be crucial to be able to apply the way it is needed. One, can you have the portfolio follow the student through the entire program (five total semesters) seamlessly or is it just going to be one semester? We have a clinical portfolio…
I am still doing some experimenting with the new Canvas Lite system and so far I am not seeing a way to "unconclude a course". That button is missing under settings. Is this not possible in Canvas Lite? If not, I hope this feature can be added (just like "Delete this course" was added). Thanks!
With the shift to Canvas Lite officially underway, moving your students over to new course spaces can take a little transition time. Here is a quick guide to getting your students enrolled and settled in smoothly so everyone can hit the ground running. Steps for Teachers Unlike in the former Free for Teacher Canvas…
Can someone please explain the rationale behind creating a limit on the number courses and participants that a teacher can have in the new Canvas Lite? To be blunt, this is going to really screw over my class set ups. I have 3 "courses" that are 6 different periods combined. Those periods combined can reach 90+ students…
Could there be a way to have the titles of assignments display vertically or at an angle so that the gradebook columns can be made less wide? I have reduced the width of my columns to be able to see more, but now I can't read what the assignments are. In Excel you are able to angle the orientation of a cell to allow for…
Engineers are currently investigating the issue. Summary: In the Course work widget on the new dashboard, the Missing count includes assignments that don’t appear in the list when you filter by Missing. The student sees a Missing count, but the list says there’s no course work. Expected Behavior: The Missing count and the…
As a Canvas and Catalog Admin, I have an instructor who never added module requirements to his course, and when the course concluded, the students' transcripts consequently show that the course is not complete. Is there a way to tell Catalog that those students successfully completed the course?
Cordial saludo Actualmente estamos presentando una inconsistencia en New Quizzes al momento de realizar la migración y posterior edición de las evaluaciones. Específicamente, al intentar modificar una pregunta y eliminar una de sus opciones de respuesta, el sistema no permite ejecutar dicha acción. Con el fin de descartar…
When creating test items in MasteryConnect, is there any way to change the font? The only options I currently see are to change the size and changing the style. Changing the size would be nice, because leaving it default is too small. However, changing it to anything else but the default is a crap shoot as to what the…
Hello! From our previous group's meeting, it was shared this community space can be for feature requests. But I wasn't sure if there was a specific sub-space for it. I'm wondering if this feature is already in development: when we create rules in the Visual Editor, we can really create only one. For example, if I want to…
We want to thank everyone who was able to make it to our September Impact User Group meeting. We had a great level of engagement and participation and we especially want to that Camila Acosta from Trinity University and James Kocher from Indian River State College for their presentations and sharing what is working well…
To the Canvas Lite Team, I am writing to express my serious concern regarding the maximum course participant limit in the new Canvas Lite, particularly the restriction that appears to allow only 50 users to join a single course. I am an Assistant Lecturer at the University of Dar es Salaam (UDSM), Tanzania, teaching Civil…
Our institution is setting up 9 institutional outcomes in Canvas. Several of our outcomes have multiple skill sets within the rubric. For example: Critical Reading – Skill Set A Critical Reading – Skill Set B Critical Reading – Skill Set C Our understanding is that Canvas Outcomes data reports can provide the overall/total…
I am just curiousas to why there is not a field to enter a description for an outcome at the account level? Or at least edit the rating when you attach/link an account level outcome to a rubric. When you create a new criterion for a rubric, you enter a decription for a rating, but for an account level outcome.
We use a pre- post- model to measure learning which requires student-question matching from two time periods. This requires exporting quiz data to CSV to do the analysis properly. (I can get into more detail if needed.) The New Quizzes Student Analysis CSV export has repeated blocks of ItemID then columns related to that…
Instructure has updated its quizzing tool by enhancing questions, making settings more sophisticated, and easing the application of accessibility options. New Quizzes is a separate tool and not yet scheduled for enforcement, so it is a perfect time to learn about the ease of migration from classic quizzes and explore this…
