Typically the only option I give students is the text box entry option yet students are still somehow uploading documents.
How to I prevent this?
The Text box uses the Rich Content Editor (RCE) which includes the ability to "insert links, images, media, and documents." I don't think there is any way to block students from using the tools in the RCE. Perhaps it's a matter of writing very explicit instructions for the assignment that you will only accept typing that is done in the text box (and that they are welcome to copy and paste from their document, but that you don't want an upload or link).
It's unfortunate that I can't turn off that option. Downloading assignments across 100 students means my computer is overloaded and/or I have to waste time deleting them all after they are graded.
Unfortunately my writing in large fonts with bold and underlining stating I only want links means nothing to about a handful of students per class.
Thank you for your reply.
This is really a fatal flaw if you are trying to use Proctorio (for in-class or at-home essays). Even with Proctorio enabled, a Canvas Quiz essay question allows document and image uploads into the Rich Text Editor. How do I block this, so a student can't upload a document or screenshot, use it as cheat notes while writing, and then delete it before submitting the response? Saying I can review the video log of every single student to look for this is just not an acceptable answer. Canvas needs to give instructors control over the upload function in the RTE "essay" response format in Quizzes.
You can prevent the upload of files via the RCE in Quizzes (Quiz Settings) but that same feature isn't available for assignment - be great to get some consistency of features across Quizzes and Assessments

Cordial saludo Actualmente estamos presentando una inconsistencia en New Quizzes al momento de realizar la migración y posterior edición de las evaluaciones. Específicamente, al intentar modificar una pregunta y eliminar una de sus opciones de respuesta, el sistema no permite ejecutar dicha acción. Con el fin de descartar…
Our institution is setting up 9 institutional outcomes in Canvas. Several of our outcomes have multiple skill sets within the rubric. For example: Critical Reading – Skill Set A Critical Reading – Skill Set B Critical Reading – Skill Set C Our understanding is that Canvas Outcomes data reports can provide the overall/total…
I am just curiousas to why there is not a field to enter a description for an outcome at the account level? Or at least edit the rating when you attach/link an account level outcome to a rubric. When you create a new criterion for a rubric, you enter a decription for a rating, but for an account level outcome.
We use a pre- post- model to measure learning which requires student-question matching from two time periods. This requires exporting quiz data to CSV to do the analysis properly. (I can get into more detail if needed.) The New Quizzes Student Analysis CSV export has repeated blocks of ItemID then columns related to that…
Hello! A caution to my fellow Admins and support folks that Instructure updated their live-chat link (the one in the "(?) Help" menu, if you license their Support Chat service) fairly recently, but the old broken one is still online and appears as if it still functions. If someone hits the old link, after entering their…
