    How do I submit a text entry assignment?

  • <p>There are different icons on the Grades page. Depending on the type of assignment submission, grading rules, and comments, you will see different icons.</p>
  • <p>Masquerading, or becoming a user, allows admins to login as the user without a password. There are some limitations. You can take any action as though you are the user but the audit logs will show that <strong>you</strong> performed the tasks while masquerading. <span style="color: rgb(26,26,26)">Only admins with the correct permissions can masquerade as other users. </span></p> <p><span style="color: rgb(26,26,26)">You can masquerade via the course People page of a course where you are enrolled. If you are not enrolled in any courses, you can masquerade via your Profile page. To masquerade via your Profile, you must know the user's ID to masquerade. Make sure you have the user's ID associated with the correct Canvas URL. </span></p> <p><span style="color: rgb(26,26,26)">The images in this lesson are shown for a phone display, but unless otherwise noted, tablet displays mirror the same steps.</span></p> <p><strong>Note: </strong>When masquerading as a user, language preferences do not apply and will always be shown in the default language. </p>
