IMPORTANT


  • When submitting an assignment using the Enhanced Assignment feature on, please take note that there is no longer a comment box on the submission step for students.  Any comments need to be made with the submission can be submitted by using the View Feedback button [4] before or after the attempt has been submitted.  The comments made by both the student and instructor are tied to that submission attempt only.  If there are multiple attempts on one assignment by a student, both the instructor and student will have to view each attempt to review or make any comments for each attempted submission.  If the instructor is using the Canvas Teacher app on a mobile device, you may see all comments in the speed grader area no matter what attempt is selected.


  • Submitting a video from Studio does not work unless you use the Text Entry option on the assignment.  For students, to submit this Studio video, select the Text enter option of the assignment, click plug/app icon then Studio from the list to locate your stored video.
