As an instructional technologist, one comment I often hear from faculty is “I never knew you could do this in Canvas, I wish I knew about this earlier.” Here\u2019s our list of Canvas hidden gems that will make your life easier as an instructor.

Whether you want to hide grades because you might make adjustments later on or you want to make sure all students receive their grades at the same time, Canvas\u2019 grade posting policies can help you take greater control over your grading.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The default grade posting policy for your entire Gradebook (all assignments) is <\/span>Automatic<\/b>, meaning that once a grade is given to students, it\u2019s released and visible to students right away. The other grade posting policy is <\/span>Manual<\/b>, which means assigned grades are hidden from students until you decide to release them. You can set your preferred posting policy either for your <\/span>entire Gradebook<\/span><\/a> or <\/span>for just certain assignments<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The buttons that appear on the left side of your course are known as your course navigation (where you see Home, Announcements, Assignments, Pages, and so on). You can customize your course navigation<\/a> by adding or removing areas from it. To do so, go to your course, click <\/span>Settings<\/b> in the course navigation and then go to the <\/span>Navigation<\/b> tab.<\/span><\/p>\n #canvasfam<\/a> #canvaslms<\/a> #teachersoftiktok<\/a> #onlineschoolhacks<\/a> #canvashacks<\/a> #teachertechtips<\/a> #tiktokteachertips<\/a> #canvastips<\/a> #techtips<\/a> #ItWasntMe<\/a><\/p>\n \u266c original sound – Lauren | Canvas Queen<\/a> <\/section>\n<\/blockquote>\n 2.
