❓ Canvas FAQ Corner
Quick answers to common Canvas questions from faculty like you!
📌 Q1: How can I efficiently provide feedback without increasing my workload?
A: Using SpeedGrader with comment libraries, rubrics, or audio/video feedback can save time while providing clearer guidance to students. Consistent feedback early helps improve performance on later assignments.
📌 Q2: What should I check if students report issues with embedded videos or media?
A: Confirm that media is embedded correctly and published, and remind students to use supported browsers. If you’re using Canvas Studio, ensure captions are enabled and media links are not restricted.
📌 Q3: How can I support students who missed early assignments but want to get back on track?
A: Consider flexible options such as adjusted deadlines, low-stakes recovery assignments, or a clear roadmap for catching up. Clear communication at this stage can help re-engage students before the midpoint of the term.
📌 Q4: When is the best time to review Honorlock or Turnitin settings?
A: Before the next major assessment. Weeks 3–4 are ideal for confirming exam settings, reviewing integrity reports, and adjusting configurations based on what you learned from earlier assignments.
📌 Q5: Is it too late to make changes to my course once the term is underway?
A: No. Weeks 3–4 are a good time to make small, strategic updates such as clarifying instructions, adding examples, or reorganizing content within modules. These changes can improve student understanding without disrupting progress or affecting completed work.
