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.

Create an assignment in canvas.
In Canvas, any activity with an associated point value is considered an Assignment and will appear on the Assignments page, as well as in the gradebook. Assignment formats include quizzes, discussions, online document submission, and no submission, and external tool assignments. You can give an assignment to everyone in the course or target it to a specific section or user.
Types of Graded Activities in Canvas
The following table lists the types of graded activities in Canvas and their strengths and weaknesses.
| Multiple submission types, alignment with rubrics and outcomes, no paper waste, easier to control content, easier to randomize, faster grading, student submission directly to instructor and TAs | Potential technical problems such as network problems or internet connectivity loss, possible file size limitations, less personal feedback, learning curve for teachers or students not familiar with Canvas or technology in general | |
| Quizzes | Automatic grading and regrading, multiple attempts, instant feedback | No regrading if you pulled questions from a question bank, cannot add points automatically, limited regrading options |
| Surveys | Instant feedback, faster grading, no paper waste, faster than passing out paper surveys to hundreds of students Points awarded based on survey submission | Potential technical problems Not available in New Quizzes format |
| Discussions | Discussions not limited to a single class period. Students have more time to formulate responses, keeps a record of comments for grading purposes, shy students more likely to participate. All students in the class can see the submission so students can get ideas from each other. | Potentially time-consuming to read comments from large groups of students, potential technical problems, students may not do their own work after seeing work of others (can be circumvented using the requirement to post before seeing other student replies) |

Create an assignment
Use Assignments to create, collect, and give feedback on assignments in a learning management system (LMS).
Before you begin
To use Assignments, you need an LMS and a Google Workspace for Education account. The account usually looks like [email protected] . If Assignments isn't installed in your LMS, ask your administrator to go to Get started with Assignments .

About assignments in Canvas

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.
