Students want to resubmit assignments. Settings show the assignment uses external tool therefore resubmissions not available. What is external too, can I change this so that students can have unlimited submissions?
Hi @NicolaORourke ...
When you edit your assignment details, one of the options is "External Tool". This typically means a third-party integration is being used inside of Canvas. Some examples might be Turnitin, Kaltura, McGraw-Hill, etc. Under the "External Tool" option, there's usually a URL that is displayed, and that would give you an idea of what external tool is being used. Also, if you exit out of the editing screen for the assignment and return to what a student would see, you should see whatever external tool interface is being used for that assignment.
When I have an external tool selected, I can still change the number of attempts from "Unlimited" to "Limited". However, if you are using something like Turnitin, I *think** the interface for Turnitin has its own settings...including if resubmissions are allowed. So, the setting on Canvas may *not* be the same as what it might be in something like Turnitin.
I hope this helps a bit. Let folks in the Community know if you have any questions...thanks!
I have Canvas set to drop the lowest quiz score, however, my students can only barely tell that the grade text is slightly grey when dropped. Can it have a tag like the "missing" and "exempt" ones in the student gradebook?
My Canvas shell has three different sections that all meet at different times throughout the week. I need to be able to batch edit assignment due dates by section, but right now Canvas can't filter by section for batch edit. My only option is now to manually (tediously) edit due dates for each assignment individually.
Morning! One of the more frustrating aspects of Canvas are groups and the issues that show up when copying courses that have them. But now we have yet another issue. Most recently we have had instances where people mark an assignment/discussion as a group assignment but then do not link the discussion or assignment to any…
So, we have encountered a few assignments where the Speedgrader presents the teacher with the "Empty Course" page, even though the course is not empty. I have discovered two New Quizzes in the same course where this has occurred, despite multiple students being assigned (at Module level, which passes the permission down to…
A teacher has expressed concerns with the recent update. Exact concern is as follows: "My Canvas has been acting glitchy since the last "update." For instance, when I grade essays the highlight and cursor tools do not always work. I have to try highlighting several times,or come back later to finish. It's told me I "ran…
