Canvas recently introduced an update aimed at simplifying the process of students accessing their assigned peer reviews. Unfortunately, a bug is causing an error, displaying the wrong peer reviews on students’ Modules and Assignments pages. This has resulted in confusion among affected students.

Students should ignore the peer reviews listed on the Modules and Assignments pages. Instead, they can access their assignment submission to find the correct peer review assignments.

Instructure, the vendor for Canvas, is aware of the problem, and their engineering team is actively working on a solution. They have not provided a specific timeframe for the fix. Their response to our support request stated that they believe it will be resolved soon.

We will provide updated information as it becomes available.
