I watched your great vid on using divs! Would you please do a tutorial on adding images with alt text using divs? I'm struggling to get them to stack in a row or column without using a table, and it needs to be accessible. Thanks, Queen! ;)
I always export my canvas classes at the end of the school year. It makes it so simple to set everything up the next school year. I have lots of pages and assignments in each module. The only frustration I have is that sometimes my images don't transfer over: I use email banners for clickable icons that I've had to reupload this year. I also have to re-upload my screenshots of the notes the students are supposed to write. I don't remember if I've had to do this every year.
Interesting! I wonder what could be the reason for this! If it happens again, I'd love an update and maybe we could attempt to troubleshoot some solutions!
I have a question about changes to the Google apps integration. I have pages in my Canvas class where I have embedded a video from my google drive, and this year it's telling me that they're changing the way that's going to work. Do you know what changes are happening, and can you give us any insight into how it'll look going forward? Thanks!
Yes, so there is an update with Google essentially. The old Google App is officially expiring and they are bringing in the "Newer" Google LTI integration. This process began last summer and this is essentially the final way. It doesn't mean you can't use Google, it just means that the old way of "syncing" Google to Canvas is different, so some of your stuff that used the old process may just need to be redone with the update.

Should you share your course to Commons?
Depends. I wouldn’t if the goal is to “share” over instances. Depending on how you share, you could potentially provide everyone with access to commons your course content.
@@canvaslmsqueen thanks for your help !!
@@canvaslmsqueen I don’t have the “copy this course” option
@@forrestfitzpatrick9709 of course! Anytime!
@@forrestfitzpatrick9709 if your district hides this option, create a Sandbox course first (like in step two) and then import ALL your current course content into it!
It’s essentially the same thing as making a copy, just requires you to create the empty course first! Hope this makes sense!
