Canvas  Assignments  are a way for instructors to provide students opportunities to practice using the knowledge and skills they have gained or to assess student performance related to such knowledge and skills. (Creating an Assignment is the  only  way to create a new column in the Gradebook.)

In Canvas there are four basic  Submission Types  for assignments. The submission types include:

• No Submission : For assignments for which you are not collecting any content from the students.
• Text Entry : For students to enter text directly into a text box on Canvas.
• Website URL : For students to enter a URL (usually to a blog, video, podcast, etc.).
• Media Recordings : For students to upload or record media for submission.
• File Uploads : For students to upload files for submission ( Restrict Upload File Types  will allow you to limit which types of files may be submitted).
• On Paper : For assignments students will submit in person.
• External Tool : For assignments which students will submit through a third-party tool (such as Turnitin, Panopto Video Quiz, and PlayPosit).

Managing an Assignment

Managing assignment groups.

When getting started with Assignments, learn to

• Create an assignment shell with the Canvas guide  How do I create an assignment? 

If you select  Peer Reviews Appear Anonymously , annotation tools in  SpeedGrader  will become unavailable.

If you change the  Assign To  area from  Everyone  to select students after submissions have already begun, and do not have a second set of Assign To dates, submissions from unassigned students will disappear.

• Published assignments are visible as existing outside of availability dates, but students cannot see the details.
• If looking to update the due and/or availability dates on multiple assignments, see   How do I bulk update due dates and availability dates as an instructor?
• If choosing the option to make an assignment a  Group Assignment : If only assigning to specific groups, make sure to click the  X  on the  Everyone Else  choice under  Assign to .

Media Recording  Assignments are not recommended due to technical reasons. Instead, have students submit media by embedding it in a  Text Entry  assignment through Panopto .

Clearly express expectations and criteria for grading by using a  Rubric .

Be cautious limiting submission attempts, as students often make mistakes loading documents and need multiple attempts to ensure you have the correct submission.

• Delete an assignment with the Canvas guide  How do I delete an assignment?
• This duplication process will not work for Quizzes.
• Attach a rubric to an assignment for grading or to communicate expectations to students with the Canvas guide  How do I add a rubric to an assignment?

Accessibility Tips

• Use descriptive text for links, instead of long URLs or ‘click here’. 
• Make instructions brief and to-the-point. Avoid long paragraphs and sentences.
• Consider allowing multiple submission types to accommodate technical limitations students may face.

Assignment Groups  are a way to categorize different graded items in Canvas. For example, you may have journals, blogs, and essays which your students create in your course. Assignment Groups allow you to label and group different types of assignments separately in order to better organize and for ease when applying weighting (see  How do I weight the final course grade based on assignment groups? ). When getting started with Assignment Groups, learn to

• Add and delete assignment groups with the Canvas guide  How do I add an assignment group in a course?
• Move or reorder an assignment group with the Canvas guide  How do I move or reorder an assignment group?
• Make rules governing grading expectations within assignment groups with the Canvas guide  How do I create rules for an assignment group?

• Canvas Assignment Tool: Overview

Updated on Mar 22, 2022

The Canvas Assignments tool is one of several native Canvas tools that allows instructors to collect student work for grading. Through the Canvas Assignment tool, students can submit their completed work and instructors can easily collect and score the work either offline (by downloading all submissions with a single button click) or online through the Canvas SpeedGrader function. Canvas Assignments can also be used to create columns in the gradebook for grading student work that is not submitted online.

Several of the External Applications integrated into Canvas work in coordination with the Canvas Assignments tool. For these tools, you will still create the Canvas Assignment as normal, but you will need to follow the detailed instructions for the specific external application to properly link it to the Canvas Assignment. Visit our Instructional Tools support page and click on the appropriate tool for details.

This article will address the following information:

Why use Canvas Assignments?

Use cases for assignments, how do i use canvas assignments in my course, what will my students see, additional resources, for students.

Canvas Assignments are a great centralized location to find and submit their coursework.  It can provide students with detailed instructions for each assignment, due dates, template files for students to use when applicable, and rubrics to help students understand what is expected to achieve full credit for their work. Canvas' online grading via the SpeedGrader tool is a core feature of the Canvas Assignment tool, which allows students to quickly receive and reply to instructor comments on their work. Canvas Assignments also work hand-in-hand with the Canvas Grades area, so students can quickly see how well they did on each assignment and how they are doing overall in the course in one place.

For Instructors

Canvas Assignments streamlines the way that student work is collected. Instead of receiving digitally completed homework in the form of individual emails from each student for each assignment, instructors can create a Canvas Assignment to collect the work of all students. With Canvas' online grading tools, instructors can use rubrics for consistent grading and can use the Canvas SpeedGrader tool to provide detailed annotations on student-submitted files or simply use the one button download all submissions button to export all student files at once to their local computer. The Canvas Assignments tool also allows instructors the flexibility to assign activities to specific due dates for individual students or even create activities that are only available to certain students.

Canvas Assignments can be used in many ways—below are just a few examples of how assignments can be used in your course:

• Homework Assignments
• Research Papers
• Written Exams
• Handwritten Student Work (check out our help article for students on  how to create a PDF of handwritten work )
• Overall grade for course (that differs from the Canvas-calculated Totals column)
• Grade for an oral exam or other activity that does not require students to hand in work
• Class participation grade
• Peer Review Assignments – students can be assigned to read and comment on one or more of their classmates' submissions
• Group Assignments – require one submission for a group of students

Instructor and TA level users can always access the tool to create and organize activities, but the tool can be hidden from students if desired. To learn more about how to use Canvas Assignments to facilitate your online course work, please reference:

• Creating an Assignment
• Grading Assignments Using the SpeedGrader
• Due Dates versus Display Dates
• How do I automatically assign peer reviews for an assignment?
• How do I view student peer review comments as an instructor?
• How do I assign an assignment to a course group?
• Turnitin Assignment Settings Options
• Viewing a Turnitin Report (Instructor)

The actual view your students see will depend on the settings you set on your assignments. Below you can see what a student would see for an online, file upload submission type assignment.  

On each assignment, instructors can set an " Available From " date, which is the date when the assignment will open for students to start submitting their work. Even though an assignment may not yet be open, students will be able to see that there is an assignment and will be able to click on it.  

When a student views an assignment that has not opened for submissions yet, they will see a message showing that the assignment is locked and the date when the assignment will open, which is the " Available From " date.

When going to submit a file, the students will see the assignment instructions, points, due / available from / until dates, and the rubric (if one exists). The students will submit by clicking the " Submit Assignment " button and following the process to upload and submit their file(s).

Create an assignment in canvas.

In Canvas, any activity with an associated point value is considered an Assignment and will appear on the Assignments page, as well as in the gradebook. Assignment formats include quizzes, discussions, online document submission, and no submission, and external tool assignments. You can give an assignment to everyone in the course or target it to a specific section or user.

Canvas: Show Students Scoring Details for a Canvas Assignment as an Instructor

• Universities of Wisconsin
• Digital Learning Environment
• What is a DLE?
• Training & Support
• Implementation

Students can view Scoring Details for some of their graded assignments in Canvas. Scoring details include three useful metrics: mean , high, and low scores for the assignment.

Students can click into the Grades panel to see Scoring Details box plots  when available . The Show All Details  and Hide All Details  button will toggle visibility for available Scoring Details.

Instructors must do the following to allow students to see Scoring Details for an assignment:

• Allow Scoring Details at the course level. Instructors can hide grade distribution scoring details from students for an entire course using the Course Settings panel. Leave the “Hide grade distribution graphs from students” Settings box unchecked.
• Grade at least five submissions. Scoring Details depend on at least five submissions being graded. If fewer than five students have submitted work or fewer than five assignment submissions have been graded, Scoring Details will not display for students for that assignment.

For more details on how students view grades in Canvas, including scoring details, review this Canvas Guide:  How do I view my grades in a current course?

How to Create Assignments

Using assignments in Canvas provides a streamlined process for assigning homework and creating quizzes for students.  Canvas considers an ‘assignment’ to be anything that is graded, whether that be a quiz or homework assignment, and whether it’s delivered entirely online, paper-and-pencil, or is a participatory assignment with no actual deliverable.

This Quick Start guide will cover the creation of assignments where the student submits a file electronically, on paper, using an external tool such as Turnitin or Panopto , or where no submission is expected (e.g. class participation). See How to Create Tests and Quizzes for Your Canvas Course and Create and Manage Discussions for more information about using those tools as assignments.

1. In the Course Navigation menu, click the Assignments link.

2. Click “ +Assignment ” at the top right.

3. Write the assignment title and directions for students.

4. Assign the number of points available for the assignment.

5. Choose an “ Assignment Group” . Assignment groups are, in essence, a category of assignment. For more information about using Assignment Groups, see the Canvas guides regarding Assignments.

6. There are four submission types :

• No Submission: an activity where nothing will be collected from students (e.g. a participation grade)
• For the full details about the online assignment subtypes, (text entry, annotation, file upload, etc.), please see the official documentation .
• We have a recorded mini-webinar on annotation assignments, including assignment ideas, available on the Training Webinars page.
• On Paper: assignments/quizzes/activities that were written on paper and collected by the instructor
• External Tool: assignments submitted through a 3rd party tool that is integrated with Canvas, such as a textbook publisher’s website or Turnitin

7. Submission Attempts: You may allow unlimited submission attempts for Online assignments, or restrict attempts to one or more. When a student submits to an assignment they have already submitted to, the previous submission is retained as well, and the instructor may view both.

8. Group Assignments and Peer Reviews:  Assignments can be created as either a group assignment or peer review assignment.

9. Assign options- You can assign an assignment to your entire class, a specific student, and/or a section of your class. You can also set the due date and the availability dates (when your students can submit their assignment). Each section can have different due dates and availability dates.

10. If you are finished creating the assignment, click on “ Save & Publish “. If you are not finished creating the assignment, click on “ Save ” and you may come back and work on it more later without students having access to it.

Canvas for Students: View Feedback on Assignments

Instructors give various kinds of feedback on assignments, quizzes and graded discussions in Canvas. Students can access this information through Grades in the course navigation menu for each course. For an overview on how to use the Grades page as a student, read How Do I View My Grades in a Current Course ? However, the previous Canvas article does not show you how to find annotated feedback that may have been left on an assignment. This article describes how to find annotated feedback left directly in/on your assignment. 

Viewing annotated instructor feedback on an assignment

Your instructor may choose to include comments directly in an online text or uploaded file submissions using inline comments or annotations. This feedback is different from the general assignment comments that you see next to the grade of the assignment. If your instructor has used this type of feedback, you will see a View Feedback button on the assignment Submission Details page. To access this specific feedback: 

• Click the title of the assignment from the Grades area to get to the Submission Details page.
• Select View Feedback . 
• Scroll through the document viewer to see all feedback.

See one of the following resources for more information on how to view this feedback:

• View Assignment Feedback in Canvas (video; 1:31)
• How do I view annotation feedback comments from my instructor directly in my assignment submission ? 

Viewing general comments and rubrics from Grades

Instructors may decide to use a rubric for grading Quizzes, Assignments, and graded Discussions. Those comments are visible from the Grades area for the student. 

On the Grades page, the score column displays the assignment score and total score in a single column. Students will see an unread indicator (blue dot) on the feedback button when a new comment is added to an assignment or a rubric. To view feedback, click the View Feedback button to display comments in a pop-out tray.

For more specific instructions on how to access a rubric for various types assessments, see the following resources:

• Finding Feedback in Canvas (video: 2:27)
• How do I view rubric results for an assignment?
• How do I view a rubric for a quiz?
• How do I View a Rubric for My Graded Discussion?

Viewing feedback from student Peer Reviews

A peer review assignment using the Canvas Peer Review tool, enables students to provide feedback on another student's assignment submission. If your instructor has set up an assignment to use peer review, you can access the feedback given to you by another peer from a couple of areas in the course site. See one of the following resources for specific instructions:

• Viewing Feedback from Canvas Peer Review (video; 4:04)
• Where Can I Find My Peer's Feedback for a Peer Reviewed Assignment ?

Viewing assignment feedback in the student mobile app

You can also view assignment feedback from the student mobile app. Read the following instructions based on what kind of device you use to access the mobile app:

• How do I see assignment feedback on an Android device ?
• How do I see assignment feedback on an iOS device ?
