Assignment with file upload

HannoHolm

I am trying to create an assignment so that students can upload a draft document for me to give feedback on. According to the Canvas help, I should be getting a box where I can choose the type of assignment.  And there should be a type that allows uploads. When I create an assignment, I have no choice at all and students cannot upload documents.

Hello @HannoHolm ...

To be sure, are you following the steps outlined in this Guide?  (Please note, there is also a short video tutorial embedded in this Guide at the top of the page which has similar information as the text directions below it.)

How do I create an online assignment?

You'd want to select the "Online" Submission Type, and then select the "File Submissions" checkbox.

I hope this helps.  Sing out if you have any other questions about this.  Thanks!
