Is there a way to allow all students in a class to view each other's submissions for an assignment?
Hi @rob_terry,
For something submitted in the Assignments area, the only built-in way for other students to see submissions would be through the peer review option. In scenarios where it's desirable for students to see each other's work, oftentimes a discussion will be used instead of assignments. Using a discussion can drastically change the grading experience for the teacher though, so it may not be what you'd like. You could potentially download the assignments as a zip file and put that file back into the course files area as well.
Hope this helps a bit!

Hi @rob_terry ,
I think that the different solutions will depend on what the purpose of students seeing each others work is.
If it is comment on and appraise, then the peer review option that @chriscas mentioned.
I have found the graded discussions very useful if I'm wanting students to reflect and build upon each other's ideas. This also allows scope for graded group discussions. This also works best if the "Let students attach files to discussions" is enabled in course settings (possible under "more options").
The Speed Grader experience for discussions is slightly different but gives a consolidated view of all of a given student's contributions to the topic.
Hope this helps,

I want to build a page with a sortable table—allowing the students to click on a table header in order to sort the entire table by that column alphabetically/numerically. I've got some experience with HTML and have found some explainers on how to do this, but it doesn't seem to work. Does Canvas presently support sortable…
I teach middle school and my students have recently discovered the ability to play the "what-if" game with grades. They are now obsessed and are playing with it all the time. For the preservation of their sanity I would like to turn it off but don't want to hide their course grade. Is there a way to do so? PLEASE HELP by…
I'm not sure that this is the right place to post about this, but I was wondering if anyone has a fix for how the scroll bar for the entire page covers the scroll bar for just a document viewed in Canvas. The scroll bar for a document will stay visible until one attempts to interact with it, at which point the bar for the…
Hi There, We are in the process of transitioning to Canvas this year and were wanting to connect with any other MYP schools to see how you setup Assignment and grading under your modules. Or you could guide us to any resources you may have.
After using Canvas for a while, I picked up a small habit that’s saved me some last-minute stress with written submissions. Even when drafts are original, longer explanations and summaries tend to reuse common phrasing, especially in research-heavy assignments. Before submitting, I usually do a quick cleanup pass to reduce…
