Canvas guidance for students

Here you will find frequently asked questions and answers. Feel free to contact us, canvas@himolde.no, if you have feedback or need help regarding Canvas.

When do I get access to courses after registration

Registrations does not immediately transfer from StudentWeb to Canvas. It may take up to 2 hours, or until the next day.

Problem opening file published in Modules

A possible cause could be that you are using the Canvas mobile app on a tablet, Mac or PC. Instead, log in to Canvas via a browser, such as Chrome or Edge.

I can not upload video files (Assignments)

There is a size limit to uploading media files into Canvas and they often need to be uploaded though other services.

  • Upload and share you video, for example in OneDrive. By the file there is a context menu where you can find an option for sharing and an option to copy the hyperlink.
  • Copy this link into the Canvas submission.

Where can I find submissions to Peer reviews

Using Canvas in a browser you can find the submission you have been assigned for Peer reviews:

  • Through a link with the name of the student you have been assigned to review, in the right column on the submission.
  • Alternatively under "To Do" in the right column when you are on the course's start page (Home).

Schedule is missing in Canvas calendar

There can be multiple reasons for this:

  • One or more course calendars is not visible on your canvas account. You can check this yourself though these menu options on browser:
    • Calendar (in the global menu to the left).
    • In the right column you should be able to see the calendars you have access to, and in front of each calendar there is a box you can use to enable/disable visibility of the calendar.
  • Integration with the scheduling system does not support transfer to all courses we have in Canvas, for example courses based on year/class or combined lecture courses with multiple teaching places. We can add these courses schedule manually into the calendar in Canvas. Contact us at canvas@himolde.no if a schedule is missing.

You can also See you schedule directly in our scheduling system TP.
