On July 20, several new features will be added to Canvas. The most notable change is an updated workflow with assigning access dates to content throughout the system. For the first time, modules can be assigned to specific sections or individuals. Individual items within modules, including pages, can also be assigned to specific sections or individuals. In addition, a new side panel experience will be added to Assignments, Discussions and Quizzes when setting availability and due dates.
There also will be updates to the Inbox tool. Users will be able to add a signature to messages, and instructors will be able to set up an "out of office" message to automatically respond to received messages.
Finally, the Rubrics tool has received a new design. Instructors will be able to search and sort rubrics, view where rubrics are used, duplicate and archive rubrics, and more easily edit existing rubrics.
