Canvas - I See Numbers Instead of Student Names

If you see a long series of numbers or mixed numbers and letters in the list of Student Submissions where the names where normally go, this is almost certainly a problem with the "Privacy" setting of your TeacherMade app installation in your Canvas course. The setting must be set to "Public" or Canvas will only send us the student IDs, rather than their names.


To fix this problem, please see this article: Canvas: Editing the External Tool installation
