Division of Information Technology has implemented a new procedure that will allow all courses to be created automatically in Canvas. Course shells (except 900 level courses) will be created based on the schedule outlined on this page , and once course creation is complete instructors will have the ability to edit and make changes to their courses.

Student rosters will automatically be kept in sync with KSIS with student drop/adds happening in near real-time. Changes to the course name/department in KSIS after course creation will not be updated in the Canvas course. To have a 900 level course created, contact the IT Service Desk .

Canvas is designed for maximum compatibility with minimal requirements. Canvas works best in the most recent versions of Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Opera, Internet Explorer, and with the most current version of the flash plugin. Be sure to keep your browser and flash player up to date. Please visit the Canvas Browser Compatibility page for more information and support for your browser.

Sections are a group of students that have been organized for administrative purposes. When users are enrolled in a course, they are enrolled in one of the sections of that course. It is possible to place more than one section in a course, but it is not possible to put sections within sections. All sections of a course share the same content.

All automatically and manually created courses are unpublished by default. Unpublished courses are courses in preparation. Students cannot access or participate in an unpublished course. Students will see the course listed in ‘Future Enrollments’ section of their Courses menu. When the instructor publishes a course, it becomes subject to the Term Dates for the semester in which the course is taught. Term Dates are the actual start and end date of the terms and define when the course access begins and ends.

By default, students will have access to their courses in Canvas seven days prior to the first day of class. Students will lose access to their courses in Canvas seven days after their last class.

You can add extra attempts and time through moderating the quiz or accessing student quiz results. For step-by-step instructions, view the Once I publish my Quiz, how can I give my students extra time or extra attempts guide.

Once students have taken a quiz, you cannot change the question type. However, you can still give the students points as if it were a multiple answer question. You, the instructor, will need to follow these steps: https://community.canvaslms.com/docs/DOC-5361.

Once you have chosen a second answer, you will have a few options for regrading.

• If you want only two correct answers, choose the option Award points for both corrected and previously correct answers.
• If you want more than two, you will have to choose the above option then save the quiz, and go back to choose the third answer.
• If you want all answers to be correct, choose the option, Give everyone full credit for this question.

As needed, you can use the Gradebook to excuse a student from an assignment, discussion, or quiz. You can also excuse a student from a group assignment. Excused assignments are not calculated as part of a student's total grade. Type an EX in the appropriate cell to excuse the student. For step-by-step instructions on how to excuse an assignment, view the How do I excuse an assignment for a student in the Gradebook guide.

By default, students will have access to their courses in Canvas 7 days prior to the first day of class. Students will lose access to their courses in Canvas 7 days after semester grades are posted in KSIS.

Instructors retain access to their courses for one semester after classes have ended, then the course will be concluded. When a course is concluded, the instructor will have read-only access to the course. For example, instructors can access their fall courses during the following spring semester, but not the next fall. This allows instructors the ability to make changes in the Gradebook and handle incompletes. As a result, instructors will always see courses from their current semester and the past semester in their Canvas course list.

Once a course is concluded, instructor-based roles will no longer have the same access in the course and will result in loss of course functionality and user information. If full functionality is still required for instructors, but the course is set to conclude the instructor must explicitly set an end date of the course. Otherwise, instructors should allow their course to conclude through the automated process. If courses are manually concluded, all enrollments are removed from the course and placed on the prior enrollments page.

The Canvas Teacher app is now available for iOS and Android phones and tablets. The Canvas Teacher app allows teachers to manage their courses and use Canvas more efficiently from a mobile device. Canvas Teacher replaces the existing Android and iOS SpeedGrader apps.

Absolutely not. The key phrase in this provision (Section 4.2 Your Content) is “solely to operate and provide the Instructure Properties to you and your Entity’s other Users.” This language is at least as, if not more, favorable than the terms we accept in many technological platforms we use in our daily, personal, and professional lives. Although it may seem unnecessary to call this out in a legal agreement, this phrase is merely granting Instructure the right to maintain the content you post on your course site and to make your content available to Kansas State University students and your teaching staff.

This is asking you to make sure that the content you use on your course site does not violate anyone else’s copyright or anyone else’s rights in the content. Just as we made certain to protect your intellectual property ownership rights, this clause reminds us we need to respect other’s intellectual property ownership rights.

No. Instructure cannot make any changes that would adversely affect your rights without prior approval.
