Assignments & Discussions

There are 3 different categories of graded activities available within Canvas: Quizzes, Discussions, and Assignments. Each of these activity types has its own area within Canvas that can be accessed from the left side navigation. An important thing to note is that the Assignments area actually lists all activities that have a column in the course grade book, not just those that are explicitly created as Assignments. For this session, we will examine how to create Assignments and Discussions in order to take your learning activities memorable experiences while keeping them positive and engaging.
