  • <p><span style="color: rgb(38,38,38)">You can set notification preferences in the Canvas app to receive updates about your Canvas courses. Selected updates are push notifications, meaning notifications are sent to you even if you have not opened the Canvas app. You can choose to set notifications for specific contact methods, or you can set notifications for all devices. </span></p> <p><span style="color: rgb(38,38,38)">Contact methods in the Canvas app are the same methods added to your Profile and User Settings in the browser version of Canvas.</span></p> <p><span style="color: rgb(38,38,38)">The images in this lesson are shown for a phone display, but unless otherwise noted, tablet displays mirror the same steps.</span></p> <p><span style="color: rgb(38,38,38)"><strong>Note:</strong></span><span style="color: rgb(38,38,38)"> </span>Because mobile notifications are currently limited, mobile preferences override preferences in the browser version of Canvas.

  • <p>Once you publish a quiz and make it available to your students, you can make changes to the quiz. Original quiz data is retained as part of any existing student submissions. However, students who have already opened or completed the quiz <em>will not see any changes you make</em>, which may affect their grades. These types of changes include adding new questions or deleting questions from the original quiz. </p> <p>Additionally, if you change only the point value of the quiz, the student's submitted quiz will show the updated point value, but the current grade won't change in the Gradebook. </p> <p>If you only need to make changes to existing quiz questions, after editing the quiz you can use <span style="color: rgb(38,38,38)"><a href="../../4152/l/139337?data-resolve-url=true&amp;data-manual-id=4152" data-object-class="article" data-object-uuid="492f24bc-fb53-427c-bf5e-e9905f1a1f39" data-object-manual-uuid="2E64DA50-E3D9-012F-D7C3-12313804AAC3" data-resolve-url="true" target="_blank">quiz regrade</a></span> to edit certain types of quizzes, or you can add <a href="../../4152/l/235923?data-resolve-url=true&amp;data-manual-id=4152" data-object-class="article" data-object-uuid="506adbda-883e-4104-8710-817f57577540" data-object-manual-uuid="2E64DA50-E3D9-012F-D7C3-12313804AAC3" data-resolve-url="true" target="_blank">fudge points</a> to individual student quiz scores using SpeedGrader.

  • <p>When importing course content with the Course Import Tool, you can choose to select specific content as part of the import. This option allows you to select specific content areas such as assignments, settings, and files without importing the entire course. </p> <p>Not all content can be copied as part of a course.</p> <p><strong>Note: </strong>If you change your mind after the import has started and you want to import all course content, you can import all content by selecting each item for a content type.</p>
  • <p>You can run reports to review attendance data for your students. This report is sent to your email, where it can be downloaded as a comma separated value (CSV) file.</p> <p>Reports are delivered in a CSV format and display all content in a list. Reports always include the following data fields: Course ID, SIS Course ID, Course Code, Course Name, Teacher ID, Teacher Name, Student ID, Student Name, Class Date, Attendance, and Timestamp. </p> <p>Roll Call Attendance Badges are included in course reports if they were created at the most immediate account or sub-account level and have been assigned to students. If the course belongs to a sub-account, only badges created at the sub-account level will appear in reports. If the course does not belong to a sub-account, only badges created at the account level will appear in reports. Additionally, the badges will also only be included if they were set within the time frame you specify in the report.</p> <p>You can generate reports for the entire course or a specific student. To locate a student or course ID, view the People page. The student SIS ID will be listed in the table. The course ID will be in the browser URL (e.g. courses/XXXXXX/users/XXX). </p> <p><strong>Note:</strong> You can narrow large results within a CSV report using the Data group Filter button.</p>
  • <p>All Outcomes added at the account or sub-account levels are available to you as an instructor. You can find and import Account Standards, which are <span style="color: rgb(38,38,38)">outcomes that have been created by your Canvas Administrator for the entire institution.
