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?

How to submit an assignment in Google Classroom, or retract a submission, on a computer or mobile device

• You can submit an assignment in Google Classroom under the "Classwork" section on the desktop site or mobile app. 
• To submit an assignment in Google Classroom, you must first "View assignment" and then select the "Add or create" option under the "Your work" menu. 
• Links and Google Drive attachments, including a document, slide, sheet, drawing, or PDF file, can all be uploaded and submitted in Google Classroom.
• You can upload multiple files, unsubmit assignments, and leave notes for your instructor in Google Classroom.  

You've logged in to Google Classroom , have joined a class, and accessed class materials. Now, it's time to submit an assignment. 

To submit an assignment in Google Classroom, you'll first need to navigate to the "Classwork" section. You can then find your assignment and attach your work. 

From there, it's as easy as turning it in. Google Classroom also allows users to unsubmit their assignments if you need to make changes or leave a private comment for a teacher about the status of your work. 

It's important to note that if you don't click "Turn in" after you attach your work, it won't be submitted. To verify the status of your assignment, double-check to see if it is labeled as "Turned in." 

When submitting assignments to Google Classroom on mobile, you'll also need to make sure you have the iPhone or Android app installed. You can search and download Google Classroom through the app store on your phone. 

Here's how to submit an assignment on Google Classroom. 

How to submit an assignment in Google Classroom on desktop

1. Open your web browser and go to classroom.google.com .

• Note: You can add a link to a Drive document or attach a file from your computer. You may also start an assignment here by creating a new document, slide, sheet, or drawing on this page. 

7. To leave a private comment for your teacher, enter it in the appropriately labeled text box on the right. Then click the small triangular "paper airplane" icon to post it. 

8. Next, click "Turn in" or "Mark as done" to confirm your submission and change the assignment status to "Turned in."

• Note: If your teacher has assigned a collaborative document that you worked on or another kind of outside assignment, you may see "Mark as done" instead of "Turn in."

How to unsubmit an assignment in Google Classroom on desktop

If you've submitted a document, but find that you need to edit out errors or add in missing content, Google Classroom offers a way to retract your submission. Navigate to the page you turned your assignment in, click "Unsubmit," and confirm. You can always turn it in again by following the above steps.

2. Tap on your class.

3. Choose "Classwork" from the bottom of the app screen.

Assigning to students or groups

Due dates and scheduling, assign, save, or discard, classwork modules.

Navigating the Grades tab

Navigate to the desired class team, then select Assignments .

Select Create >   New   Assignment .

At a minimum, you must give the assignment a title. This is required. You can optionally add a tag, which will make this assignment easier to search for in the future. 

Assignments only supports the following image file types: .png, .jpeg, and .gif. 

On mobile, Images will resize to the screen. 

On desktop, you can use sizing handles on images to resize them.  

You can also attach existing files, links, or assignment integrations and create and name a new file right from here for students to turn in.

Note:  You can add up to five files for students to edit. The total number of resources you can add to an assignment is 10, whether editable or non-editable. Read-only reference files can be up to 500 MB in size. Files for students to edit can be up to 50 MB in size.

Select Attach  to attach resources to the assignment. Choose a file from your OneDrive, upload a file from your device, or choose one of the other options set by your admin, such as MakeCode.

Note:  If you're assigning a Class Notebook page, check what version of OneNote your students are using to ensure that their assignment pages will lock after the assignment due date passes.

Select +New  to create a blank Word (.docx), Excel (.xlsx), PowerPoint (.pptx), or Whiteboard document, or a new video recording to hand out to your students.

Select  Apps  to attach content from an app to the assignment. Admins can  manage Teams apps in the Microsoft Teams admin center .

Select Learning Accelerators  to add Reading Progress , Search Progress and other Learning Accelerators to the Assignment.

By default, Students can't edit  attached documents, meaning the document is read-only. This is a great option for reference materials.

Note:  If you have older documents with the file extension .doc, .xls, or .ppt, students won't be able to edit them. You can either attach them as read-only reference material or create a new file in Teams, copy in the old content, and save it. All new files you create in Teams or other Microsoft 365 apps will have the correct extension.

The Assign to field is where you choose the class for this assignment. By default, the class team you are in will be selected. 

Multiclass Publish

Multiclass publish allows educators to create an assignment for multiple classes with the same due date. 

Do this by navigating to the Assign to field and check the boxes for classes the assignment will be published to. 

Points and rubrics

You can select which grading scheme,  grading categories , and points the assignment is worth. 

If you have configured the class to use Grading Categories, you need to select a Grading Category for assignment with points.

Select the amount of points this assignment is worth, if any. You can use points on any number-based scale including whole numbers of 100 and set your own denominator. Examples:  88/100 or decimals 3.7/4.0.

Select  Add rubric  to  create a rubric .

Select  Manage grading categories  to create or edit the grading categories for the class.

Setting up Grading Schemes

Letter grading and grading categories must be set as a Grading Scheme in the Grade settings section to display these options.

2. Navigate down to Grade settings .

3. Choose Add Schemes or  Manage schemes .

Note:  If no other grading schemes other than "Points" have been set, this link will read  Add Schemes . Once you have gone through the steps to add a new scheme, the link will change to  Manage schemes. 

5. Set the grading levels. Letter grades will be the normal A, B, C, D, F, scheme. Ensure that there are enough levels to cover the entire 0-100 percent range.

6. Select the Save button when complete. 

Finish by choosing the  Done  button. 

Choose multiple classes, individual students, or groups of students  in one class to assign to.

By default, only students who are in your class now will receive this assignment. Change this by selecting an option from the dropdown menu.

Note:  If you choose a close date, any student who joins will receive this assignment until the close date.

Select a time and date for the assignment to be due. To schedule an assignment, next to  Assignment will post immediately with late turn-ins allowed  select Edit assignment timeline . Here, you can customize when your assignment will be posted to students and when it will close for turn-ins. By default, no close date will be selected, which allows students to turn in assignments late.

Note: If you choose multiple classes to publish the assignment to, you can select Set due date per class to set individual schedule , due and close date for each class

You can choose whether to add this assignment to your calendar on Outlook, students' calendars, and other educators or staff in your class team. Set this preference for all assignments in Assignments Settings .

Students only  adds the assignment to just student calendars.

Students and me adds the assignment to both student calendars and your calendar.

Students and team owners to adds the assignment to both student and other educators or staff in the class team calendars.

Choose the channel where you'd like notifications for this assignment to post. This allows you to keep student work and discussion organized by unit, topic, or subject. By default, assignments will be posted in the General channel or your selection in Assignments Settings.

To choose a channel to post in, next to Post assignment notifications to:  select the down arrow for a list of available channels. 

Pick the channel you’d like this assignment notification to post in, your selection will be applied immediately.

To post assignment notifications to a channel, make sure bot posting is enabled. You can check that here  or ask your IT Admin for help.

Assignments will post to channels that are visible to all students. Private channels will not appear during this step.

If you have selected multiple classes, select Set per Class to set which channel to use or just use the General channel. Assignments to individual students do not post to channels.

When you're ready, you can finish the process of creating your new assignment by assigning it to students.

Note:  If your school uses Turnitin, you can sync assignment turn-ins to Turnitin .

Assign  will immediately publish the assignment and your students will be notified of the new assignment on the day you specified and the notification linking to this assignment will post in the channel you selected. They'll also have an entry on their Teams and Outlooks calendars if you've selected that option.

Save  will save a draft of the assignment. Students will not receive any notification, and nothing will be added to any calendar.

Understanding due dates and end dates

A due date is the submission deadline of an assignment in your course. This date is specific to assignments only.

End dates are attached to assignments. The end date is the final date an assignment is available for you to submit to, regardless of the due date. Once the end date of the assignment is past, you are no longer able to submit, no matter what the assignment's due date is.

Figure: The Assignment page with activity dates and date settings.

Submit an assignment

The Assignments tool enables you to submit assignments in Brightspace, eliminating the need to mail, fax, or email your work to teachers.

Note: Your teacher controls what file types and extensions are permitted for an assignment submission. Before submitting your assignment, confirm on the assignment submission page in the section Allowed File Extensions what file types can be submitted.

Figure: Review the permitted file extensions on your assignment submission page.

Troubleshoot Assignments

You might occasionally experience a problem when attempting to upload your assignment file. This section provides you with the errors you might encounter when uploading your assignment and troubleshooting solutions.

Assignment unable to be submitted or resubmitted

There are multiple reasons for why you may not be able to submit an assignment. You may not be able to submit an assignment for the following reasons:

• The end date has passed and your teacher has disabled late submissions.
• Access is restricted for your assignment. This could be because your teacher has only made the assignment available for a specific start and end date or you must complete other course activities, like a quiz or view content, before being able to submit your assignment.
• Your teacher has turned off the assignment's visibility and made it hidden for students.
• You are not uploading the correct file type or including specific details for your assignment. For more information about assignment and uploading errors, refer to the latter parts of this topic.
• Your teacher only allows one submission for the assignment, so you cannot resubmit your assignment.
• You require special access to submit the assignment.

If you cannot submit or resubmit your assignment, contact your teacher and ask them to perform the necessary steps to allow assignment submission.

Assignment is not available or cannot find assignment

Assignments often have start and end dates that control when an assignment is available or visible. Teachers can also control whether an assignment is visible or not for students when they create the assignment. If you are supposed to be able to access and view your assignment but you can't see it, contact your teacher and ask them to make the assignment available.

If you are having trouble locating your assignment, access the module related to your assignment in the Content tool. If you still can't find your assignment, navigate to the Assignments tool and search for your assignment name. If your assignment is not available in the Assignments tool and should be, contact your teacher.

Error: Field is required. Select at least one file to upload.

You will receive this error message when you click Add before your file gets completely uploaded.

To resolve this, wait until the green loading bar on your file name has finished loading and click Add .

Error: This file extension is not allowed

When you attempt to upload a file submission for an assignment of a file extension type that the teacher restricted, an error message appears.

Figure: An alert message indicating that a restricted file cannot be uploaded.

To resolve this, before uploading a file, review the allowable file types listed on the Submit Assignment dialog and upload only the allowable file type.

Figure: Submit an assignment file of the type listed in the Allowable File Extensions section.

Error: Oops, your file could not be uploaded

The cause of this error message may be due to an invalid file name, network issues, or if the file that is being uploaded is beyond the file upload limit.

To troubleshoot and resolve this issue, check the following:

File name . Your file does not upload when:

• The file name contains illegal characters. The file name should not contain illegal characters. Rename your file and try uploading again. Some examples of illegal characters are: \ / : * ? “ < > | ~ # % & ' { }
• The file name is too long. We recommend that you keep the file name under 120 characters.

File size . The File Upload function in Brightspace supports up to 2GB per file, depending on your organization’s settings.

To reduce the file size

• If your file contains images, you can reduce the resolution or size of the images.
• If your file contains many pages, try splitting this into two files. For example, in a presentation, you can create one file for slides 1-5 and one file for slides 6-10.

Internet connection

The file uploader in Brightspace uploads files in 10MB chunks. If one 10MB chunk takes longer than two minutes to upload, the upload process times out and your file will not continue to upload.

Your upload speed depends on your Internet connection.

• Always upload files using a wired Internet connection rather than wireless whenever possible.
• If you have access to a faster network, upload from this network (For example, Home, on campus).

To check your Internet connection speed

Go to an Internet speed test site and test your i=Internet speed.

Your upload speed determines how fast your file uploads. Along with the overall size of your file, a larger file takes longer to upload. Although there is no minimum Internet connection speed necessary to use Brightspace, the better your upload speed, the faster your files will upload.

Upload the correct file

When you save a file in Microsoft Office, like a file called assignment.docx , you may find two files saved on your computer: assignment.docx and ~$assignment.docx .

This is because Office creates both a temporary file and the document file, where the temporary file begins with ~$ . Ensure you are uploading the actual document instead of the temporary file as the temporary file will not open and contains no data.

Error: Unavailable Quicklink

You may encounter this error when you click the assignment submission folder link from the Content tool or on an announcement post.

The cause of this error is if the assignment folder is not visible on the Assignments page because it may have been hidden, has a release condition, or does not exist. If the assignment is visible but grayed out, either the assignment has not opened yet or it’s already closed.

Contact your teacher for further help accessing the assignment submission folder if this is the case.

Figure: The Unavailable Quicklink error appears after clicking the assignment submission link.

Browser issues

You may encounter an issue with uploading your assignment when the page is not loading properly, the assignment page is blank, or the page is unresponsive.

In this case, we recommend that you make sure you’re using a supported web browser. If the browser is supported, make sure it is updated.

Read more for how to update:

• Google Chrome
• Mozilla Firefox
• Microsoft Edge

If updating your browser did not work, use a different supported browser, restart your computer, or clear browsing history, cache, and cookies.

Note : Clearing your browser history, cache, and cookies will permanently remove the your browsing history, cache, and cookies that you saved.

Find and review feedback

Tip: You can also view assignment feedback from User Progress and Grades.

• On the navbar, click Assignments .
• From the Assignments page, locate your assignment, and click Unread in the Evaluation Status column.
• From the View Feedback page, you can view your submission feedback, rubric assessment, and grade.
• If your teacher added annotated feedback to the assignment, click View Inline Feedback . The annotation view opens in a new tab, displaying annotated feedback using highlighting, free hand drawing, shapes, and associated commenting.

How instructors and students share files

When an instructor creates an assignment, they can attach files such as Google Docs, PDFs, or other materials for students to work on. For example, they might include:

• A Docs essay assignment
• A PDF worksheet
• A reference image

After an instructor publishes the assignment, students work on the files and can add their own materials. When students turn in their work, instructors can review and grade their work and files.

As files are exchanged between students and instructors, Assignments automatically manages Drive file permissions. When instructors receive student work, they automatically get edit access. 

The workflow when you grade in Google Assignments

• Before an assignment’s due date
• If an assignment doesn’t have a due date

How do instructors make a copy of each file for their students?

When instructors publish an assignment with coursework files attached from their device or Google Drive, Assignments creates a copy of each file for each student. The file is saved to an automatically created course folder inside the student’s Drive Assignments folder.

Can students submit Drive files they don’t own?

What happens if instructors accidentally remove a student's file.

In Drive, if instructors accidentally delete a student’s file, it might be available in their Trash folder. Instructors can restore the file from there. However, if they deleted the file from the Trash, the admin needs to restore it.

If the admin can’t restore the file, instructors can ask their student to unsubmit their assignment and resubmit it using the backup copy from their Assignments folder in Drive.

Can a student unshare a returned file?

Yes. However, if instructors need to view the file, they can open the backup copy in their Drive course folder.

How do instructors view a file they returned?

If the student’s file is still shared, the instructor can open the file in Assignments and find any current edits. If the student has unshared the file, the instructor can ask them to share it again in Docs or Drive.

To view files in their returned state, instructors can go to the Assignments folder in Drive and open the backup file. Backup file names begin with the prefix “Copy of.”

Why can't instructors edit a file?

• Instructors should check if their file permissions are View only or Edit access . With View only , you can’t edit a file.

What are file permissions?

How can instructors check file permissions?

How can instructors collaborate on a file before a student submits it, how can students collaborate on a file before instructors return it.

Students can check your direct edits as an instructor to a file before you return it. They can’t see your comments or suggested edits until you return the file.

If you want students to see your comments and suggested edits before you return the file:

• Open the student’s file in the grading tool.

• To give students edit access, share the file with them.

Download Assignments

You are viewing Original Course View content

You can download assignment submissions to review them offline. Choose to download all or only selected submissions as a single ZIP file. Unzip or expand the file to view the contents. Each submission is saved as a separate file.

Windows and Mac computers have built-in capabilities to view and extract compressed ZIP file packages. To learn more, see the help available for your computer's operating system.

Download assignments

• In the Grade Center, access the assignment column's menu and select Assignment File Download .
• On the Download Assignment page, select the student submissions to download -OR- select the check box in the header bar to choose all available submissions.

• On the next Download Assignment page, select the Download assignments now link. A pop-up window displays instructions for what to do with the file.
• In the pop-up window, select Save File and select OK .
• Browse to the location where you want to download the file and select Save .
• To return to the Grade Center, select OK on the Download Assignment page.

When you use the download function, usernames are included automatically in the file names for easy identification. But, files you download one by one from the Grade Assignment page won't include usernames. To avoid confusion, you can specify that students use a detailed file name that includes their last names or their usernames when they submit assignments.

If a student added an attachment, the downloaded ZIP file may contain two files for each student: the attached file and a TXT file produced by the Grade Center. The TXT file contains information about the submission and student comments. Both files have the student's username included in the file name for easy identification.

The Assignment File Cleanup function allows you to select students and delete files associated with their submissions. This function is available from the assignment column's menu in the Grade Center.

Grade downloaded assignments

After you review submissions offline and assign grades, you can provide grades and comments in the Grade Center. Access the assignment cell's menu and select View Grade Details . On the Grade Details page, select Edit Grade . You can use the Insert File function in the editor to add files. Or, select View Attempt to see the student's work in the Submission and Comments sections as you add a grade, comments, and files.

Alternatively, you can type grades directly in the Grade Center cells. If you type a grade for the first attempt for an assignment that you have allowed two attempts for, this grade is called an override grade . If you go on to grade the second attempt from the Grade Assignment page, the override grade still supersedes the second attempt grade you assign. So, consider the ramifications before you assign grades directly in Grade Center cells for assignments.
