Hi Canvas Community! 👋 I'd like to propose a feature that would benefit both instructors and students: a customizable pop-up warning that appears before a student submits an assignment (essays, homework, quizzes, etc.). ✅📝 💡 The idea: This pop-up could remind students to double-check key details before finalizing their…
I am looking for the slides for the "Super Session- Instructure New & Next: July Product Updates," and am not having luck. When and where will those be posted? Thanks! Catherine
Hello. I have a course from last year with course level outcomes. I would like to copy this course and use it this year. I noticed that if I go to the settings of last year's course and "Copy This Course," it will often mess up the outcomes. They appear under Outcomes in the new course, and they show the alignments.…
Hello, I work in the student accessbility department in higher education, and am responsible for the development and implementation of Access Plans. I understand that differentiation tags exist at a course level once students are enrolled in a course; however, are differentiation tags available at a student level, so that…
I was going to make this a reply on the original QuizWiz post here, but it seems to be locked for new replies. With the enhanced Speedgrader being enforced, I noticed that my QuizWiz user script stopped doing anything in Speedgrader. There was no automatic giving of full points, 0s for unanswered questions, etc. Below are…
Hello! A course we run has progression that requires students to achieve 100% (10/10 points) on module components in order to advance to the next module. After the midterm date of our course, we have students receive half-credit on modules completed up to the halfway point (to make sure that students are incentivized to…
This post summarizes what we covered during our New & Next Super Session live in Louisville at InstructureCon. Providing customers with updates on what we’ve been working on at InstructureCon is one of my favorite parts of the year, and the energy in the room made it clear how much you care about where our products are…
Which URL will we need to use to access our content? Will it be the https://canvas.instructure.com/login/canvas URL or a different one? Stumbled upon this issue by chance, have not received any communications from Instructure, and really don't want to miss out on this export window.
A few months ago I discovered Course Analytics and I love all the data it provides! My favorite feature is the Weekly Online Activity page. I decided to spread the information and build a quick 10 minute workshop for faculty on how to best navigate Course Analytics. I also included some screenshots and links to resources…

Day one of InstructureCon closed out in high fashion. Well, high “trashion,” may be more like it. Literally. Let me explain; one of the best parts of hosting InstructureCon in different cities is the opportunity to partner with each community to develop a program, via our Impact in Action initiative, that leaves a lasting…
Since we’re headed to Louisville, we’ve borrowed inspiration from a few hometown legends – the Derby, Muhammad Ali, and Louisville Slugger – to help build the ultimate INSTcon26 packing list. If this is your first INSTcon, you might be thinking, "Time to buy a whole new wardrobe!" And hey—if you need an excuse to treat…
Engineers are currently investigating the issue. Summary: Students are unable to join self sign-up groups in a course. When navigating to the Groups page, the group appears locked and hovering over the lock icon displays "Group is not available at this time." This occurs even though self sign-up is enabled for the group…

Hi, I was wondering if there was anything in the pipeline so on Canvas Catalog it could link to an entire sub-catalogue? We are using our Catalog instance to list Professional Development & Compliance courses to colleagues. For some courses, we have multiple listings (huge kudos to the multiple listings connecting to…
We were having trouble bringing in a Cengage test bank yesterday. We turned off New Quiz functions in the Admin area as Cengage test banks are still set up with Classic Quizzes. They finally imported correctly, but now the the test bank questions are coming in as gibberish but the answers are reading correctly. Have any of…
Hello, please help me with the digital version of my Business Intelligence and Data Integration badge.
Now that the option to use the old version of grading has went away I am wondering if there is a way to either minimize rubrics or move the comments box to above the rubric? I do not use my rubrics unless I have to deduct points. But, I do make comments on almost every assignment. That is a LOT of scrolling when grading. I…
Is it possible to have viewing a page or satisfying the requirements of a module be part of the course pacing?
Yesterday, after much trial and error…I concluded the new quizzes matching choice options do not work as I expected, and have used with other LMS. I thought that I could provide students a matching choice quiz with multiple attempts that would report incorrectly answered matches on the first attempt, and display the…
At Intelvio, we're not just delivering training; we're preparing career-focused learners with workforce-ready skills, and we make sure the platforms behind that training are ready to support them. So when we came across Canvas Career, we knew right away we wanted to try it, test it, and see how it could support our…
I have seen documentation that says you must recopy your iCal link and resubscribe when you are enrolled in new classes, does this mean my iCal feed link changes each time, or do i just need to re-fetch the .ics file?
We use course pacing to manage due dates, because we run ~20 something courses each quarter and manually setting due dates would be a nightmare. Several courses have two core topics. We want to allow students to choose which of these they will pursue first. Is there any way to configure multiple course paces with different…
I ran a course accessibility audit, and it kept flagging a color contrast issue that WCAG noted was AA and AAA compliant - #ffffff against #751a1a. Wondering if I was missing something like an <style> or <div> tag, I asked the IgniteAI Agent to verify and it came back with the following response. Sharing with my team, as…

The arrival of Workforce Pell Grants represents one of the most significant changes to federal financial aid in decades. Beginning with short-term, high-value workforce programs, institutions have an unprecedented opportunity to expand access for adult learners while strengthening regional workforce pipelines. But success…
We want to ensure you don't miss the next Prompt Party — a live, interactive session designed to help you explore IgniteAI Agent in a way that actually clicks. This isn't a webinar.
