Instructure has scheduled no Canvas production release for December 2021. Nevertheless, noteworthy feature updates are scheduled in code deploys and special releases. They are:
- After December 1, 2021, teachers can publish courses from the Settings area (in addition to the Home page and Dashboard). Click here for Deploy notes.
- After December 15, 2021, teachers can tell Canvas to open SpeedGrader in a new tab (default/current behavior) or in the same browser tab under their user account settings. Click here for Deploy notes.
- After December 20, 2021, teachers can adjust criteria in the New Analytics “Online Attendance” report for daily course activity/access. Click here for New Analytics feature announcement. (We plan to activate this feature, available December 7, after the current term ends.)
