How do I view my Learning Mastery scores in the Grades page?

How do I use inline chat as a student?
If configured for your institution, inline chat allows you to communicate with other users in a course from areas other than the Chat page. Because they are separate from your course, inline chat will also not appear when viewing the Calendar, Conversations, Groups, or User Settings.
When inline chat is enabled, any user viewing a course will appear as online on the Chat page. Currently there is no load limit for a course chat, but larger numbers of course users may affect performance.
Notes:
- If you cannot view inline chat, it has not been enabled for your institution.
- Chat alerts are not available for inline chat.

How do I use Roll Call Attendance badges in a course?
Once you have configured the Attendance tool, Roll Call Badges are a versatile way to make quick notations about your students using the Roll Call attendance tool. For example, you can quickly mark when a student is disruptive or actively participating in the class so that you have a record of that student's activities.
You can add and manage any course-level attendance badges in any student's attendance information profile. New badges are always available to all students and will not/cannot be created for individual students. Badges may be created, however, that are only applicable in certain circumstances such as "Absent due to death in family" or "Absent due to school-sanctioned activity."
Canvas admins have the right to delete any course-level badges that may be considered inappropriate.
Note: Roll Call Attendance Badges are not visible to students.

Once you have created your seating chart, learn how to take roll call in your course.
Note: Currently Roll Call does not support a seating chart print option. However, you can always print the screen image from your browser.

How does Canvas work as a supplement to face-to-face courses?

Some institutions provide Canvas course sites for face-to-face courses automatically, while others require their instructors to request course sites in Canvas.
