Are there any updates to restoring the normal layout for instructors? The new version is difficult to use. In the view of many of us, this was not an improvement. Perhaps users could be able to choose between the traditional view and "new" view? Thank you in advance.
A Klik is just a moment. The connection that comes after. That's where the real magic happens. InstructureCon 2015 changed something in me. I was a co-admin and educator at a small school. Then I walked into a tent full of people who got it. They cared about the same weird, specific stuff I cared about, and they created…
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…

When students drop the course, they show up in People as "Inactive" It would be nice if there was a way to filter them out of that list. The simplest way would likely be to have the Roles drop down list have two options, one for All Students and one for Active Students. On the teacher activity report, it would be nice if…
Hi all, Canvas has started doing something annoying and I don't know how to make it revert to its prior behavior. It's so odd I can't even figure out what to look for. It's a UI issue related to the display of entries in Modules. It used to be the module element menu (three vertical dots) used to be on the far right side…
When changing jobs I saved some of my own instructor materials, presumably on a free-for-teacher account, a type which appears no longer to exist. How can I access my materials for further development?
Hi All, I've looked at a couple of help docs for Canvas and haven't seen a way to do this… but maybe I'm not looking for the right terms. Basically, I want a discussion board to be worth zero points for one or two students, but regular points for everyone else. Is there a way to do this? To explain, I teach ethics, and set…
When a student is moved to a different section, or removed from a section while remaining enrolled in the course, any assignments they have submitted or quizzes they have completed disappear from the Gradebook. This occurs because the affected assignments are assigned to specific sections ("Assigned to"), and the student's…
Did anyone else notice the 3 Dots Menu move in Modules today after the release? It moved from the right side of the module entry to the left side closer to the 6 dots drag tool on the left. If this is permanent this means we need to redo a lot of instructional guides
Hello everyone, I'm used to seeing the green published checkmarks and the three dot menu on the right side of the module. While I was working in this course, it mysteriously shifted to the left. After investigating a bit more, all of my modules in other courses look the same. Am I missing something in settings? I'm…

At a technical level, if a user exists in two separate Canvas instances, is this a problem a Canvas Trust can address? If so, how? Can you add a trust(ed) login to an existing user account? Most of the (very limited) documentation I've found seems to focus on Trusts operating with enrollments, not users, but it does seem…
Since the DAP updates posted on June 30 (here), our Canvas Data 2 integration with Microsoft SQL Server has not been completing properly. I followed the post's indication that only a dap snapshot —namespace canvas —table [tablenames] command would be needed, but that hasn't resolve the issue. Specifically, when performing…
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 have asked this question several times and the only response I have received is "refer to Terms and Conditions." What happens to our content that was previously hosted on Free-For-Teacher? Has it been archived? Deleted? Two points. That content is the user's intellectual property. That content has user names, likenesses,…
Hi, Can someone from the Canvas team please support me in exporting my course content? There was no email sent or a clear post on the relevant Free-for-Teacher version page to have known about the open window period. This is causing quite the conundrum for my team and me. I would greatly appreciate some assistance.…
