  • You can create assignments where students can submit videos or audio files from their Arc accounts.

    Arc video submissions can be created as a Text Entry or Online submission type. Both submission types allow students to access their Arc account and select a video or audio file. Currently, External Tool submission types are not supported.

    • Text Entry: Allows students to embed media using the Arc icon in the Rich Content Editor
    • File Uploads: Allows students to view the Arc tab as a submission option

    Note: Students can submit Arc media assignments via the web or the Canvas by Instructure Android or iOS app.

  • When creating an assignment, you can choose to not count assignments toward the final grade. This feature allows you to provide feedback for assignments without the assignment counting toward Gradebook calculations. By default, everyone in the course will have the grade excluded unless you specifically assign course sections, assign individual students, or assign course groups to the assignment.

    Assignments that are excluded from the final grade include a banner at the top of the assignment page and the assignment details page. The Gradebook and student Grades page also includes an icon showing the grade has been excluded.

    Note: This feature is only available in assignments; it does not apply to graded discussions or quizzes.

    How do I view Quizzes as an observer?

    You can view Quizzes in your course by accessing the Quizzes page. Learn how to view each type of quiz that may appear in your course.

    Note: Your instructor may choose to hide the Quizzes link in Course Navigation. If the Quizzes link is not available, you can still access Quizzes through other areas of Canvas.

  • If you want to leave simple feedback for your students, you can leave a text comment directly from the Gradebook.

    Note: You can also grade assignments from the comments window in the Gradebook. However, you cannot add a comment and assign a grade at the same time.

    Updating my displayed name in Canvas

  • If you accidentally published a quiz with an existing multiple answers question that needs to be corrected, you can use quiz regrade to edit the question and update student grades. Learn more about quiz regrade options.

    Notes:

    • Quiz regrade only applies to students who have already taken the quiz.
    • Adding or removing a question as well as changing the point value for the multiple choice question does not trigger the quiz regrade feature.
    • Adding or deleting answers from a multiple answers quiz question with submissions disables the option to regrade that question.
