The way students submit an assignment is changing in Canvas. When you click on an assignment link the screen will look different with an improved submission workflow. This change is happening on the 23rd July. Take a look at the new workflow, the submission types at the bottom will vary depending on the requirements of the assignment.
Information for staff
Existing assignments will automatically appear with the enhancements in place on the 23rd July. You do not need to do anything to enable this on your assignments. The new workflow ensures that any feedback added to Speedgrader, including any attached rubrics are now available for each student attempt. The feedback is viewable by both students and tutors once the grades have been posted.
