Assign Your Assignments in Canvas

A few weeks back, we blogged about Canvas: MODernize Your Canvas with MODules. We are following up with Post #2, Assign Your Assignments in Canvas.

Assignments in Canvas can be used to challenge students' understanding by using a variety of media and can:

• assess achievement;
• include online submissions;

Assignments can be added through the ASSIGNMENTS link in the course navigation 

or through MODULES in the Course Navigation if you've built your course using modules.
