How do I view Assignment Enhancements as an observer?

You can view all your student's course assignments on the Assignments Index page.

Notes:

  • Your student's instructor may choose to hide the Assignments link in Course Navigation. If the Assignments link is not available, you can still access assignments through your user or course dashboard, the Syllabus, Gradebook, Calendar, or Modules.
  • You can view all content from submitted assignments. However, you cannot view assignment drafts.
  • Assignment Enhancements does not support Cloud Assignments.
  • If the assignment you are accessing displays differently, Assignment Enhancements may not be enabled in your course or your instructor may not have used a supported assignment type.
