About assignments in Canvas

Watch a video overview of Canvas assignments

Why do I have to re-create my assignments in Canvas?

If you already have assignments created in Word or Google docs, Catalyst tools, or posted online, you might wonder, “What’s the point is of recreating them in Canvas?” Not only does Canvas make it easy to create assignments with lots of options (selective release, group assignments, peer review, submission type) it also adds convenience for you and your students.

What are Assignment Groups?

Like Catalyst Gradebook, Canvas prefers for you to create assignment groups for organization. The groups you create control how the gradebook is structured and you can choose to weight final grades based on those groups. By default you begin with a group called Assignments. You can choose to keep all of your assignments in this one group, or create as many new ones as you like.

Where do I create assignments?

You can create assignments in the Assignments area of Canvas or in the Calendar. Your Assignments page will show the work you have assigned. In student view, the Assignments page will show all assigned work and the point value of each (if you set point values when setting up an assignment). Any graded activity (such as a discussion, quiz, essay or project) can be an assignment.

When you create an assignment in your Canvas course it is automatically added to the assignment list on the Syllabus page, the course calendar, and your gradebook. If you change the due date for an assignment, Canvas updates it course-wide. If you alter the assignment you can have Canvas notify your students.

What can I do with assignments?

Assignments can be used to:

• Set up online submissions that can be quickly graded in the SpeedGrader™
• Grade online submissions work submitted on paper
• Set up peer review
• Grade Discussions, either among the whole class or student groups
• Open Quizzes for a limited amount of time
• Create ungraded activities that align with course outcomes

Assignments and Grading

Having your assignments in Canvas and automatically linked to the gradebook means you can take advantage of SpeedGrader and rubrics to make the grading process faster and more efficient. Canvas communication tools allow you to provide your students with text or multimedia feedback on all assignments.

Getting Started with Canvas Assignments

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 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.

Assignment submission types in canvas.

Canvas lets you decide the way you want students to submit their assignments. You specify the submission type in the Submission Type box when you create the assignment. Assignment settings always remember and display the settings created or edited in the previous assignment in the course.

On This Page

No Submission

External tool.

Choose No Submission when you do not want students to submit an assignment in Canvas. You can use this assignment type to create extra columns in the Gradebook, or when you want to create an assignment that involves multiple scores.

Choose Online when you want students to submit their assignments in Canvas. When you use the online submission type, you can specify online entry options.

Text Entry : Students can submit their assignment directly in the Rich Content Editor .

Website URLs : Students can submit a URL that fulfills the assignment.

Media Recordings : Students can submit an audio or video recording that fulfills the assignment. They can either record new media or upload existing media.

File Uploads : Students can upload a file to fulfill the assignment. Note that if your institution has enbled Google Docs as a submission type, students can connect to Google Docs as a web service to submit an assignment as a Google Doc, Google Sheet, or Google Slide. However, these files will convert to their Microsoft counterpart file type—Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, respectively.

If you want to only allow certain types of files for assignment submissions, click the Restrict Upload File Types check box and manually enter a list of accepted extensions in the Allowed File Extensions box. In the case of an odd or unusual file type, try adding it to your course to confirm the file is accepted before requesting students to submit the file type.

Select On Paper when you want students to submit an assignment to you but not through Canvas. When you choose this assignment type, Canvas creates a column in the Gradebook for grading purposes. However, you must enter the grades manually.

Choose External Tool when you want students to submit their assignments using an external app (LTI) enabled for your course. You must enter a URL for the external tool.

Canvas Tips: Prepping for Summer Quarter & Beyond!

Hello CoE Huskies!  

We wanted to send a note because Summer quarter is just around the corner! You’ll note Summer and Autumn Canvas sites are already available  to start working on in Canvas. You can locate them on your  Canvas dashboard  in the Unpublished Courses section.   

If you would like assistance with prepping your Canvas sites, now is the time to submit your support request by sending us an email at  [email protected] .   

• For those that would like us to import your content into your Summer or Autumn course site, please make sure to include a link to the previous Canvas course you would like to have imported.  
• For those who would like us to adjust the due dates in your course site(s), please make sure to include your course schedule/syllabus for and we will make sure everything is appropriately in place with updated dates.  

For our DIYer’s we’ve included some helpful guides below to consider while setting up your course sites:   

• We recommend using the  selective import option  to bring over only the materials you need and excluding items you may not want to reuse such as old Announcements.
• If you are looking for something with a little more granular control, checkout the DesignPlus Multitool that includes a  Due Date Modifier .  
• We recommend only having the areas that are being actively used by students in the course showing on the course navigation menu bar. Typically, this would include Announcements; Syllabus; Modules; Assignments; Discussions; People; Grades; UW Libraries; UW Resources; & Ally Course Accessibility Report.  
• When you add Modules in your course, they are unpublished by default. It’s important you remember to publish those modules when you want students to access them because even if the items within a module are published, if the module itself is unpublished, students won’t be able to access those items.  
• If you want to set a paced schedule of module availability during the quarter, you can set unlock dates on the modules that will release the content to students on a set date and time. Keep in mind that modules need to be published for the lock dates to auto-release the content at the set date and time. 
• This tool is super handy when checking for broken links throughout your course site!   
• If this is the first time you’ve run the validator it will include any unpublished content. If everything in the course is updated with new dates, check the option to exclude unpublished content and re-run the validator.  
• Also, important to note, if you use materials that are behind login portal or pay-wall, these items may be flagged as unreachable by the validator. If you click these links on the report and they function as normal than you are all set.   
• Remember that Canvas courses are automatically set to unpublished status. Once you have everything in place and you want to release it to students, make sure to publish the course so students can access it.  

As always, if you have any questions or concerns about your upcoming course sites, Canvas or how you can apply instructional design best practices to your course, please don’t hesitate to reach out and  ask for help !

DAAP student works to make design careers accessible to all

Jerrell francisco is on a mission to introduce diverse students to design-based careers.

Peering into classrooms throughout the University of Cincinnati’s College of Design, Architecture, Art, and Planning (DAAP), Jerrell Francisco notices very few students who look like him.

That’s far from uncommon according to a 2021 study from the National Endowment for the Arts, which found that diversity is sorely lacking across America’s art spaces .

Francisco, a communication design major at UC, hopes to change that through his capstone design project.

“A lot of people will throw terms around like diversity, equity and inclusion,” Francisco said, “but really what we’re talking about is equity of opportunity. That’s what I’m trying to level up.”

As he embarks on his final year as a Bearcat, Francisco’s creative mind helps him design a compelling message for underrepresented groups. His project has two forms of inspiration: strong artistic flair — and, just as crucially — a background that’s likely familiar to much of his intended audience.

From his start to a career in art

In the beginning, Francisco didn’t seem like the ideal design candidate. For one thing, his adopted parents were laser-focused on education — a STEMM (science, technology, engineering, math and medicine) education. The design field wasn’t even part of the equation.

Jerrell Francisco. Photo/Jerrell Francisco

Francisco’s life took a turn when his father received a job from Cincinnati Public Schools to become the principal at Princeton High School. The big move from Michigan to Cincinnati ended well for Francisco, by his own account.

“There was this new program where 20 high school students got to do a class for the National Health Association … researching the opioid epidemic in Ohio,” Francisco said.

As the Princeton High School students’ research period wrapped up, they were surprised with full-ride scholarships to UC.

The catch? All Princeton students had to enter a STEMM field to receive the scholarship, and Francisco didn’t meet the requirements for his desired industrial design major. Luckily, he could attend UC Blue Ash College and learn about applied graphics communication under professor Patrick Schreiber. Francisco discovered his passion for the arts from that class, leading him to communication design at DAAP.

A-DAAP-ting to a new frontier

While Francisco has flourished at UC, he sometimes still feels like an outsider among the design community. Diversity isn’t known as the art world’s strong suit, despite the work of programs such as DAAP to attract people of various backgrounds. Francisco hopes to use his voice to diversify the space.

The arts, in Francisco’s view, involve “taking what’s in your head and learning how to put it outside.” Design is transferable across all backgrounds, ethnicities and skill sets, with diversity leading to a greater range of experiences from which to draw creative inspiration.

There are things I’ve learned (here) that I could break down so much faster if there had been more diverse opportunity or more diverse people sharing their opinions.

Jerrell Francisco

“There are things I’ve learned (here) that I could break down so much faster if there had been more diverse opportunity or more diverse people sharing their opinions,” Francisco said. “Those are really needed for us to progress.”

Rather than just talking about the need for change, Francisco challenged himself to have a positive impact. He found the perfect means to make a difference through DAAP’s capstone design project.

A capstone project for all kinds

DAAP students work on capstone assignments in their final years to showcase creative expertise along with forward-thinking ideas in partnership with the 1819 Innovation Hub . According to associate professor of communication design Reneé Seward , “DAAP capstone projects allow students to go research and understand a visual communication problem of interest to them. These self-defined senior projects have led to new companies being developed and entrepreneurial efforts.”

For Francisco, the DAAP capstone project provided a superb window for him to give back to students who may be interested in design but lack direction on entering the field.

“I plan on using the skills I’ve gained to make one big website … to give younger students as much practical application or value as I can,” Francisco said.

His page will describe what communication design is, run through principles of pattern and design and offer tips on building a website and online portfolio.

Due to his time at UC along with his co-op experiences , Francisco craves a future as a key art designer. This career path, which involves crafting promotional materials for TV shows, movies and video games, is one that he’d never heard of before college — and that’s a problem he’s striving to solve.

Francisco ultimately hopes that his capstone project will be bigger than a personal stepping stone toward graduation.

“I’m a great designer right now because of [my mentor],” he said, “so to be that for someone else, that’s definitely the goal.”

Deontay Wilder’s Latest Loss Should Mark the End of a Complicated Career

Chris mannix | 19 hours ago.

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia – Deontay Wilder crashed to the canvas, a pair of crushing right hands from Zhilei Zhang sending him there, and in that moment we were reminded that boxing ends are rarely graceful.

Kevin McBride battered Mike Tyson, Manny Pacquiao carved up Oscar De La Hoya, Joe Smith knocked Bernard Hopkins straight out of the ring. A violent sport leads to violent finishes and on Saturday, Wilder, stopped in the fifth round of his heavyweight showdown with Zhang, appeared to meet his. 

There was no official retirement announcement from Wilder on Saturday. He exited the ring without an interview and left Kingdom Arena without speaking to reporters. But the loss to Zhang was Wilder’s second straight. His fourth in his last five fights. He has won once since 2019—a first-round stoppage of Robert Helenius in 2022—and has been knocked out in three of his last five. All week, Wilder insisted that if he didn’t perform on Saturday, it was likely over. After landing 16 punches over four-plus rounds, it likely is. 

If this is it, Wilder leaves boxing with a complicated legacy. He’s a success story, a former football player turned boxer who got into the sport as means to provide for his disabled daughter. He served pancakes at IHOP, worked the grill at Red Lobster, drove a Budweiser truck all over Alabama. In Tuscaloosa he connected with his trainer, Jay Deas, an ex-TV reporter, who put Wilder on a path that led to the Olympics, the pros and eventually a heavyweight world championship. 

Wilder’s gift is his power, a snapping right hand that finished 42 of his opponents. “God given,” is how Wilder described it, and he was right. At 6’6”, Wilder rarely fought above 220 pounds, with a lean, chiseled upper body giving way to a pair of spindly legs. His advantage was his delivery system, the blurring speed with which his right hand landed on an opponents. Bermane Stiverne, Luis Ortiz, Robert Helenius—they all felt it. And when they did, they didn’t recover. 

In 2015, when traveling to Tuscaloosa to profile Wilder before his title fight against Stiverne , I met a man with great ambition. Wladimir Klitschko, David Haye, Tyson Fury—he wanted all of them. Anthony Joshua was still climbing the rankings at that point but when he was ready, Wilder wanted him, too. “It's time to make my legacy," Wilder told me back then. "There is a movement going on in the heavyweight division. And I'm going to be a big part of it.”

Only he wasn’t. Wilder made seven title defenses between 2015 and ’18. He won a tough fight against Luis Ortiz but flanked it with one-sided beatings of Johann Duhaupas, Chris Arreola and Gerald Washington. He ended a rematch with Stiverne in one round. In 2019, Wilder rejected a nine-figure, two-fight offer to face Joshua, closing that year instead with a first-round blitzing of Dominic Breazeale and (another) stoppage win over Ortiz. 

Wilder did give boxing one of its best heavyweight trilogies, and he deserves credit for that. His first fight with Fury, in 2018, was thrilling, with Fury climbing off the canvas in the 12th round to secure a draw. The next two were captivating, back-and-forth, rock ‘em, sock ‘em brawls, throwbacks to different heavyweight days. Unfortunately for Wilder, he didn’t win either of them. Fury stopped him in the seventh round in 2020. A year later, he ended it in the 11th. 

That is part of Wilder’s legacy, that he didn’t get many big fights, and when he did, he didn’t win them. He lost a one-sided decision to Joseph Parker last December before being completely overwhelmed by Zhang, a 41-year old ex-title challenger coming off a loss to Parker of his own. In both those fights Wilder was reluctant to unleash his right hand. Perhaps the sustained pounding from the last two fights with Fury took something out of him. Perhaps, if he had faced this level of competition earlier in his career, he never would. 

We won’t know, can’t know, because for Wilder, this is the end. For years, Eddie Hearn stood as one of Wilder’s public rivals, slinging jabs at Wilder through YouTube clips and print stories. The two joined forces for this latest fight, the headliner in the Queensbury vs. Matchroom head-to-head, and Hearn was openly giddy about the union. He named Wilder captain, predicted a spectacular knockout, only to watch Wilder go out without much of a fight. 

“He is not letting his hands go, and that is what made him one of the most feared fighters in the world,” Hearn told reporters after the fight. “I just feel his belief is not there anymore. And you’ve got to ask yourself why? Is it just the time, is something else not right?”

It’s time. Years from now, when Wilder’s turn comes up in the Hall of Fame rotation comes up, there will be a spirited debate. Does an Olympic bronze medal, a five-year run as heavyweight champion and a 98% knockout percentage earn him a spot in Canastota? Or does a résumé devoid of quality wins leave him out? Wilder filled a hole in U.S. heavyweight boxing, some will say. Others will argue he should have done more with it. 

Regardless, Wilder had a career to be proud of. He packed a lot into two decades in boxing and will head back to Alabama with a pile of money to show for it. This wasn’t the end Deontay Wilder was hoping for. But in boxing, it never is. 

CHRIS MANNIX

Senior Writer, Sports Illustrated Sports Illustrated senior writer Chris Mannix has boxed with Juan Manuel Marquez, played guard in the NBA's D-League and even tried his hand at bull riding at the Sankey Rodeo School in Martin, Tenn. The latter assignment left him with a bunch of bruises and a fractured collarbone. "I liked all the first-person experiences, but fighting Juan was my favorite assignment for SI," says Mannix. "It was a tremendous experience that required brutal training and introduced me to a fear I never knew I had." Mannix has covered the NBA since he arrived at SI in 2003. He currently writes columns and profiles in the magazine and for SI.com and also serves as SI's NBA draft expert. Among the NBA stars he has profiled: Chris Bosh, Russell Westbrook and Andrei Kirilenko. As a teenager Mannix was a locker room attendant with the Boston Celtics for eight seasons (1995-2003) and covered high school sports for the Boston Globe. "Working for the Celtics was like attending a different fantasy camp every game. I spent pregames D'ing up the likes of Tracy McGrady, Ray Allen and yes, Michael Jordan. Last time I went one-on-one with MJ he beat me 48-0. I got one shot off … and it was blocked." Boxing is also one of Mannix's specialties. He has reported for SI on several championship fights, annually hands out SI.com's boxing awards and writes the website's "Inside Boxing" column. Mannix won the 2012 Boxing Writers Association of America's awards for Best Feature over 1,750 words and Best Feature under 1,750 words. In addition to his duties at SI, Mannix serves as host of The Chris Mannix Show on NBC Sports Radio (Sundays 6–9 p.m. ET) and is a co-host of Voices of the Game, with Newy Scruggs every Wednesday from Noon–3 p.m. ET. In addition, Mannix is a ringside reporter for Epix and Fight Night on NBC and NBC Sports Network, and is a regular guest and fill-in host on The Dan Patrick Show and The Crossover on NBC Sports Network. He also regularly appears on sports radio shows across the country, including weekly appearances in Miami, Orlando and Salt Lake City.  Mannix received a Bachelor of Arts degree in English from Boston College in 2003 and graduated from Boston College High School in 1998 (which makes him a double Eagle). He resides in New York City.
