Canvas Newsletter - October 2017
NEW FEATURES
Canvas Mobile Teacher App – The app now supports the People page, student context cards, Attendance, audio and video comments, external apps, and discussion attachments.
CANVAS UPDATES
ConferZoom - The Chancellor’s Office provides Zoom professional web conferencing to all California community college employees. Originally it was named ConferNow. However the name was changed to ConferZoom. This has led to some confusion. Because of this, we have renamed the tool from ConferNow to ConferZoom in Canvas. If you had previously removed the ConferNow tool from your Canvas course, it may reappear. If so, simply remove it again.
SpeedGrader - Late and missing submission status labels are only displayed to instructors.
Rubric Criterions - Rubric criterions can include a point range instead of an individual point value.
DON'T FORGET!
Before your courses begin, use the Validate Link in Content tool (under Settings) to ensure that URLs are correct.
Also, if you would like to see a feature in Canvas that doesn't exist or suggest a change to an existing feature, you may do so under the Submit a Feature Idea that can be accessed on the Help menu.
FEATURE CHANGE
Students will now appear last name first in the gradebook. Previously, while sorted
last name first, student
names appeared first name then last name.
