The submission includes the timestamp and who submitted the assignment. Additionally, instructors can submit multiple files at a time for a single student and submit beyond the availability date. Check out these Canvas instructions for more information.
In face-to-face courses, students attend classes at the same time each week and adopt a habit of course expectations. Faculty can use Canvas tools for organization to help students develop similar habits in online courses. Organization: Providing course content in a logical sequence helps students find course assets and related assessments. Canvas Modules allow faculty to organize course content by weeks, chapter, or topic. Pacing Students: In Canvas Modules, instructors can also set rules that pace students through course content. For example, a rule can require that students open each element of the module before advancing or another rule might require that students achieve a minimum score on a test before advancing. Limiting Student Course Menu Choices: By placing all course content into the Modules, faculty can then reduce the number of tools that appear in the Student's Course Menu and guide students directly to course content. Instructors retain the ability to access all tools and to create new content that can be added to the Modules. Want to learn more?
