We would like to provide live feedback to students as they are working on a Google assignment. Is there a way to provide students with support before they submit a Google assignment?
The best way to do this is via Google Drive. Once you connect any given Canvas course to Google Assignments LTI 1.3, a folder called "Assignments" will be automatically created in your Google Drive. That "Assignments" folder will house a folder for each Canvas course; each course folder will have a folder for each individual Google Assignment. If you navigate to the folder for the course and specific assignment in question, you will have editing access to all of your students' in progress work for that assignment. You can leave feedback by opening each assignment and using the Google commenting tools to engage with the student.

We want to allow students to choose which of these they will pursue first. Is there any way to configure multiple course paces with different…
Hoping someone can explain for me. We're using pacing to avoid manually dating regular assignments each quarter, but the dates I see are based on when the course was instantiated, while students see dates based on when they were added to the course by [backend software I don't know anything about, presumably]. If I set…
Has anyone else had issues with an influx of duplicate users in Canvas? Ours is currently in the form of an email that already exists, becoming a new user - and not automatically merging with the user ID with the same email that also is linked to our SIS ID correctly as well. For example, user 1 is xyz@gmail.com without a…
Canvas Portfolios provide a powerful platform for students to document their learning journey, reflect on their progress, and showcase competencies. However, in programs where multiple educators are involved in assessment—such as team teaching, moderation, or competency-based evaluation—there are important questions about…
