While running the DAP 2.2 CLI on a Windows 11 machine, using Python 3.3.12, to push data into an Aurora PosgtresQL database, the data load aborts mid way through — it will look something like this: For some of the medium-sized tables I truncated the table, re-tried and it eventually loaded all the data; for this biggest…
HTML lists have a sensible default, where the list numbering or bullet style changes as you indent. This is a crucial visual cue to help you understand which level of indention a list item belongs to.

Hello, In the past, changing participation dates in the course settings effectively acted as an override on the term access settings.

Hi, I have two assignment groups for exams: one is the highest of the four exams scores and one is the lowest of the four exams scores. I use a rule in the assignment group for each (drop the lowest three scores and drop the highest three scores, accordingly). When I have only three scores entered (in each group), they…

Hi All, From reading the following article: How do I embed a Canvas Studio video quiz in the Canvas Rich Content Editor as an instructor? - Instructure Community I understand that quizzes can only be made from "My Library". How can this be managed if teachers are created these quizzes in Studio but their account may be…
If I add a link to an external resource as a module item, leaving "load in new tab" unchecked, the resource will render in an iframe in a canvas page.

A colleague asked me how to reuse the questions from the 14 quizzes he has already created as a large question pool to draw questions from for a cumulative exam. Each of the 14 quizzes has multiple question groups, and none of them was linked to a question bank at the time of creation. The best thing I could find is the…
Sometimes we have assignments that don't count toward the final grade. While "ungraded" quizzes don't populate in the gradebook, these assignments do - they show up in the gradebook for instructors and for students. This can be confusing. Additionally, I can't seem to find a way to turn on a "points total" in the final…
Hi! I've created a "showcase" portfolio for my students to use as a reflective piece. However, some of my students can't access it. Why is that? Any suggestions are appreciated!

Graded discussions do not appear to be eligible as badge requirements in Blackboard Ultra (only assignments, tests, or modules). Is it possible to use graded discussion forums as triggers for badge awards?
I'm building a tool for my institution that imports grades from another LTI tool into Canvas so instructors can automate late assignment policies not otherwise supported by Canvas.
