This article is for Faculty who would like to view and understand how their students will experience their Assignments in Canvas.
Article Overview
1. Examining Assignments in Student View
1.1. Select an Assignment from a Module in Faculty View
Open the assignment by clicking on its name inside of the module.
1.2. Observe Your Assignment as a Faculty Member
As faculty you will view assignments notably by seeing:
- (1) Either the Published or unpublished button, Edit button when selected allows faculty to edit assignment settings, and SpeedGrader, when selected takes faculty to the course Gradebook to grade student submissions for this specific assignment.
- (2) A current set of assignment settings and a + Rubric button to attach an assessment rubric for the assignment.
1.3. Select the Student View Button in the Upper Right Corner
1.4. Observe Your Assignment in Student View
In student view inside an assignment (set to file uploads as the submission type) faculty will see
- (1) the assignment instructions
- (2) the red Upload button is selected by default (because faculty set this assignment to accept specific file types). Students and faculty (in student view mode) can select the rocketship or drag an accepted file type into the perforated box to submit.
Go ahead and test out the student submission experience in Student View by clicking the rocketship and selecting a document, or by dragging a document into the perforated box.
The file shows as being attached with (1) the name of the file and a green checkmark. Selecting the trashcan icon allows users to delete the upload and submit again before selecting submit assignment. Select the (2) Submit Assignment button to submit an assignment for Test Student in the Gradebook.
Canvas displays confetti when selecting Submit Assignment.
The (1) submission shows up in the assignment page for the Test Student (in Student View). Notice the (2) Submit Assignment button is faded out and won't allow another submission (this assignment was set to one attempt). Select (3) the Leave Student View button at bottom right to return to faculty view.
1.5. Select SpeedGrader from the Upper Right Corner of Your Assignment
Canvas allows faculty to submit work to assignments as Test Student as was done in the steps above. Submitting to an assignment in Student View in a course will initiate that course's Test Student.
SpeedGrader opens to the Test Student submission. Selecting (1) the student's name (upper right) expands a drop down menu of your class roster. Grayed out names have not submitted. Students with an orange circle have submitted, and their submissions are viewable by choosing a name from the drop down. (2) Select the name of the assignment (upper left corner) to return to that assignment's submission page. (3) Select the checkbox icon to go to the Gradebook.
