A student completed an assignment on time with a grade of 100%. However, the student went back to the assignment to review for the test and Canvas counted the second submission as late and deducted the points from the assignment that was submitted on time. This has been an ongoing issue. Is there a way to have an assignment be marked as review only so students can open and review an assignment and not be penalized? If I lock an assignment they can’t access it, if I remove late submission penalty then students will never learn to submit work on time without consequence. I think this would be a great feature.
Hi @blangston,
Can you give more details about what kind of assignment this is? I'm a Canvas admin at my institution, and in the most common scenarios I can think of, students do not need to create a new submission just to go back and review the assignment. Any additional info you can provide for clarification might really help someone give you a good answer for this.

@blangston, I ran into this problem as well in the past. Our best recommendation for professors was to make a practice quiz that contained all of the materials from previous assignments/quizzes that a student may want to review. I like your feature idea though and support you submitting it for consideration.
In our institution our Assessment Workstream reviewed Canvas native operability against our institutional regulations and came up with an external solution (this was presented at Canvas Con as our 'End to End solution'.
Essentially the initial assignment is set with an 'available to' date corresponding to the due date. If the assignment is eligible for late work submission and the students does not submit on time, this is detected by an internally built application which adds an 'available to' date of two working days later to those students who have not submitted.
Students who have already submitted cannot resubmit. If two files were required in the submission a partial submission cannot be remedied after the due date. Not all assignments are extensible (presentations, labs etc. are 'event' or 'scheduled' assessments that are spotted and excluded by our systems). There are further complications around quizzes that are quite involved.
You can see my colleague's presentation here: https://www.instructure.com/resources/videos/leveraging-lti-assessment-dashboard-enhanced-user-experience?filled
As a blunt approach you could individually simply make the available to date the same as the due date - however, as the work is late you also have an indication that the work should be capped or penalised, depending on your local regulations.

Cordial saludo Actualmente estamos presentando una inconsistencia en New Quizzes al momento de realizar la migración y posterior edición de las evaluaciones.

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…
