Hi Canvas Community,I am currently managing course quality audits and link remediation across several core Canvas courses for onboarding and training.Instructure support documents updated and migration from legacy paths (such as /docs/DOC-xxxx) to the modern Knowledge Base architecture (/en/kb/), we encountered a…
Am I missing it, or is there no direct path back to the Edit page of a New Quiz from the Build page of the New Quiz other than to wait for the Return button to reload the entire Modules page? In my case, there are only 175 items in the modules page and reloading takes annoying long. Some symmetry would be appreciated —…
You need this if… • Your institution has to meet WCAG 2.1 AA, and you can’t say how many courses fall short today. • Instructors fix accessibility problems one page at a time, or only find them after a student or an audit raises them. • Your instructors and designers don’t have deep accessibility expertise and need to know…

Is there a way that Canvas can create a pop-up when publishing an assignment to notify the instructor that the module that the assignment is in is not published? I recently published an assignment, but because it was in a module that was not published, my students could not view it. It would be nice for Canvas to check to…

I am disappointed that this is not available for Core Canvas users. I could see if the training consisted of things not available at the core level but that is not the case. It seems like a ploy to get us to upgrade. Sad for the schools who cannot afford to upgrade.
🆕 Welcome to Micro-Credentialing Your time is valuable, so we're changing how you learn in the On-Demand Training Portal. As we update our course library, long multi-module courses are giving way to short, focused micro-credentials. You can jump straight to the skill you need, earn a badge when you finish, and get back to…
Will it ever be possible to change an answer key on a quiz question and automatically regrade any submitted quizzes? This is so cumbersome when you have to use speed grader to fix submitted quizzes. Other LMS do this automatically. Also, could you add a feature where every question on a fill in the blank quiz is not case…

I have been trying to add another Instructor to my course and it keeps saying ""we were unable to find matches".... I have tried students, my personal email, other instructors and cannot get anyone added. Am I missing something? I am doing it the same way we did with plain canvas. The course is published and set up. Advise…
Instructors are using appointment groups to schedule groups of student for oral assessment. Whilst most student complete the process, there are always a small number that don't and the instructor would like to be able to manually assign those groups to an empty time slot in the schedule. Any advice appreciated.
TL;DR Instructure is evolving Canvas API integrations to strengthen platform security, scalability, and sustainability while preserving an open ecosystem. Upcoming Canvas Apps enhancements will give institutions a simpler, more transparent way to install and manage API-based integrations, while Partners will adopt…
It would be helpful to see at least part of an essay submitted by students as I'm making my audio comments. Now, though, the modal box takes up most of the screen real estate in Speed Grader preventing me from quoting from what the student has submitted. Could it be smaller if one is choosing audio comments (rather than…
My iSpring lectures (in HTML5) were imported into the new Canvas Lite. They play well, but the audio (mp3) is intermittent. In trying to correct this behavior, I cannot successfully re-upload these files. How is everyone else uploading these types of lecture videos?
For those of you who use the Learning Mastery Gradebook in your courses, what are your thoughts about the updates? Do they improve your understanding of students' outcome mastery? What about the interface? The old version certainly needed some improvements. I did like the pie charts, however. Hovering the mouse pointer…

Hello Canvas Community! Does anyone utilize TouchNet as their payment system for Canvas Catalog courses? And if so, does anyone implement a Marketplace uStore? Other than adding tax into the course enrollment fee, does anyone have a working solution between Catalog and TouchNet Marketplace to collect tax for taxable online…
I have now had a few cases of students' responses in New Quizzes not being recorded. Normally, students get a connection error and can restart, but here they get new questions one at a time with no indication of a problem until they try to submit the exam and find that they can't submit it. Students are losing 20-90% of…
We assign coursework by section, and teachers enter the transfer grades on each assignment from before the student’s enrollment date. However, those grades do not satisfy the modules’ “Submit the assignment” requirements. Students still have to go back to the beginning of the school year and submit blank documents and…
A Discussion assignment needs to be able to have more than 2 due dates. A discussion is just that--a back and forth. To be an effective kind of assignment, Instructure needs to modify them so they can have 3 or more due dates. Students also need to be notified when someone posts within their group. Currently, students turn…
This is incredibly frustrating. I use a rubric with imported outcomes to grade my assignments. Each problem is mapped to an outcome, scored on a scale with 4 tiers (the upper 2 tiers granting mastery). For a few of my students—not all—grading a new assignment deletes their earned mastery on an earlier, unrelated…
