What is the Roll Call Attendance Tool?
The Attendance (Roll Call) tool is an external app (LTI) used for taking attendance in Canvas courses. The Attendance tool can be used for online or face-to-face courses. Enabled at the account level, the Roll Call Attendance tool can be used by all courses in the Canvas account.
The Attendance tool always appears as a visible Course Navigation link, but it cannot be viewed by students, so hiding the link in Course Settings is not necessary. If instructors do not want to use the Attendance tool in their courses, no action is required. However, if you do use the Attendance tool, students can view their attendance report through the Roll Call Attendance submission details page.
Note: The Attendance tool must be enabled for your institution before it can be used in Canvas courses. If you are an admin, contact your Customer Success Manager for assistance.

How do I use inline chat as a student?
If configured for your institution, inline chat allows you to communicate with other users in a course from areas other than the Chat page. Because they are separate from your course, inline chat will also not appear when viewing the Calendar, Conversations, Groups, or User Settings.
When inline chat is enabled, any user viewing a course will appear as online on the Chat page. Currently there is no load limit for a course chat, but larger numbers of course users may affect performance.
Notes:
- If you cannot view inline chat, it has not been enabled for your institution.
- Chat alerts are not available for inline chat.

How do I rename a file as a student?
You can rename your files at any time using the Rename option in the file's settings menu. You can rename files in both user and group files.
Learn how to locate your user files and group files.
Notes:
- If you add a file to another area of Canvas (e.g. Groups or Assignments) and then rename the file in your user files, the file rename will not update in any other Canvas location and must be changed manually. Please ensure that your file names are correct in your user files before using them in other content areas.
- Files that have been submitted as part of an assignment cannot be renamed.
