Canvas Update – December 10th, 2016
Every three weeks, Canvas releases new features, updates to existing features, and bug fixes to our platform.
In this production release, admins can set grading period start dates to 12:00 AM, find courses by sort options, and view terms by active and past terms.
Instructors using grading periods have additional close date verifications in assignments and the Gradebook. Users with instructor roles can also receive group announcement notifications without being enrolled in a course group and can automatically assign groups by section in the People page.
For all users who have customized their Courses list, Canvas automatically adds all new enrollments as a favorite.
Users who can manage Outcomes will notice a placement change for the Manage Rubrics button. All users will also notice small updates in Files and in Rich Content Editor links, as well as a global font update throughout Canvas.
Production release notes also include fixed bugs.
