Links to Canvas Guides

As some of you know, Canvas migrated its user guides to a new platform last week. These Canvas Community links to individual pages in the guides were supposed to work again after the migration. Well, many of those links work, but many also do not. The web addresses are not supposed to change, and according to Canvas, they haven't.

 

Of course, a week later, it is still a work in progress. I was told today that all of the links should work by Monday. This might be a problem for those of you who include such links within your courses to serve as technical instructions for students. If you want to wait for Canvas to fix the links, that's up to you. If you don't, you can use the links at https://guides.instructure.com/​.

 

You can always check the status of Canvas at https://status.instructure.com/.
