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.
Canvas appears to have changed something this year with the intergration from Canvas to the Class Notebook using OneNote. Last year we were able to have class notebooks linked to each course that would automatically add new students when they were enrolled into the Canvas course. This year when we log on we get the…
Among all the things that I wish Canvas had is that one! Is it something that is been worked on? We had it in Blackboard (legacy) and I sorely miss and need in Canvas (we just transitioned to it from Bb). Please add this very needed feature!
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…
