Canvas Release Highlights for December 2024

The December 2024 code deploys add student groups’ course names to the Groups tray. 

After the Wednesday, December 18, 2024 code deploy, teachers may enable a “Reduce answer choices” toggle for specific students in a New Quiz’s Moderate tab to remove one incorrect answer (i.e. distractor) from multiple choice questions with 4+ answers. This feature is intended to support quiz accessibility and inclusivity. Update: Instructure delayed this feature the day it was intended to be deployed.

Since the Wednesday, December 4, 2024 code deploy, students see the names of their groups’ parent courses in the global navigation menu’s Groups tray.

Instructure decided not to do a monthly product release for December 2024 and not to do a code deploy on January 1, 2025 in observance of winter breaks & holidays.
