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!

Screen readers seem to read out the LaTex and not the equation.
Whenever possible, I prefer to have my students take in-class quizzes and tests on their laptops. But to make sure that they do it in the classroom, I've always put a password on the assessment and then given them the password. That way they can't take it somewhere else on their own (or somewhere else, not on their own).…
I use Respondus 4.0 for loading questions to my pools in Bb and now that we have moved to Canvas, I want to load them to an Item Bank. However, to do this, I need to have them downloadable as a QTI 2.1 option. My options or limited. #1 I can load to a Classic Quiz which my university does not prefer, download the questions…
