Canvas Assignment Tool: Overview

Updated on Mar 22, 2022

The Canvas Assignments tool is one of several native Canvas tools that allows instructors to collect student work for grading. Through the Canvas Assignment tool, students can submit their completed work and instructors can easily collect and score the work either offline (by downloading all submissions with a single button click) or online through the Canvas SpeedGrader function. Canvas Assignments can also be used to create columns in the gradebook for grading student work that is not submitted online.

Several of the External Applications integrated into Canvas work in coordination with the Canvas Assignments tool. For these tools, you will still create the Canvas Assignment as normal, but you will need to follow the detailed instructions for the specific external application to properly link it to the Canvas Assignment. Visit our Instructional Tools support page and click on the appropriate tool for details.

This article will address the following information:

Why use Canvas Assignments?

Use cases for assignments, how do i use canvas assignments in my course, what will my students see, additional resources, for students.

Canvas Assignments are a great centralized location to find and submit their coursework. It can provide students with detailed instructions for each assignment, due dates, template files for students to use when applicable, and rubrics to help students understand what is expected to achieve full credit for their work. Canvas' online grading via the SpeedGrader tool is a core feature of the Canvas Assignment tool, which allows students to quickly receive and reply to instructor comments on their work. Canvas Assignments also work hand-in-hand with the Canvas Grades area, so students can quickly see how well they did on each assignment and how they are doing overall in the course in one place.

For Instructors

Canvas Assignments streamlines the way that student work is collected. Instead of receiving digitally completed homework in the form of individual emails from each student for each assignment, instructors can create a Canvas Assignment to collect the work of all students. With Canvas' online grading tools, instructors can use rubrics for consistent grading and can use the Canvas SpeedGrader tool to provide detailed annotations on student-submitted files or simply use the one button download all submissions button to export all student files at once to their local computer. The Canvas Assignments tool also allows instructors the flexibility to assign activities to specific due dates for individual students or even create activities that are only available to certain students.

Canvas Assignments can be used in many ways—below are just a few examples of how assignments can be used in your course:

Homework Assignments
Research Papers
Written Exams
Handwritten Student Work (check out our help article for students on how to create a PDF of handwritten work )
Overall grade for course (that differs from the Canvas-calculated Totals column)
Grade for an oral exam or other activity that does not require students to hand in work
Class participation grade
Peer Review Assignments – students can be assigned to read and comment on one or more of their classmates' submissions
Group Assignments – require one submission for a group of students

Instructor and TA level users can always access the tool to create and organize activities, but the tool can be hidden from students if desired. To learn more about how to use Canvas Assignments to facilitate your online course work, please reference:

The actual view your students see will depend on the settings you set on your assignments. Below you can see what a student would see for an online, file upload submission type assignment.

On each assignment, instructors can set an " Available From " date, which is the date when the assignment will open for students to start submitting their work. Even though an assignment may not yet be open, students will be able to see that there is an assignment and will be able to click on it.

When a student views an assignment that has not opened for submissions yet, they will see a message showing that the assignment is locked and the date when the assignment will open, which is the " Available From " date.

When going to submit a file, the students will see the assignment instructions, points, due / available from / until dates, and the rubric (if one exists). The students will submit by clicking the " Submit Assignment " button and following the process to upload and submit their file(s).

Assignments

Create assignments in UB Learns to promote student interaction and learning progress in your class.

Assignments often make up a large portion of student interactions within a course. They can include active learning , group work , formative assessments , culminating projects and much more.

The Assignments tool in UB Learns offers robust features to customize instructions, submissions and assessment types. Tools that complement Assignments include Content, Rubrics and Grades. As always, ensure any embedded multimedia or attachments are accessible for all students.

For additional support beyond this page, visit Brightspace’s Create an assignment webpage.

General Preparation

Before creating an assignment, it is helpful to have some information upfront such as the assignment name, description and point value. If your syllabus is finalized, you may also want to include the due date while creating the new assignment.

Adding a due date to an assignment will enable it to populate in the course schedule.

Advanced Preparation

Rubrics : Consider how this assignment will be graded. If grading with a rubric, it is best to first create the rubric and then attach it to the assignment.
Grade Categories : You may want to create weighted categories within the Grades Tool before creating assignments. This will allow you to categorize assignments as they populate the grade book.
Assignment Category : This category is separate from the grade categories. It serves more as a grouping and organization system. For example, this can be used to categorize items such as homework, presentations or to provide more granular detail.
Release Conditions : You may choose to limit access to this assignment until after completing a prerequisite task such as a quiz or discussion post. Create the first task prior to creating the assignment.
Group Assignments : In order to assign collaborative assignments, the groups must already be created.
Special Access: Special access allows you to set different availability dates and times for specific users. For example, you could extend the deadline for users who require remedial help or who are submitting work beyond the original scope of the assignment. Learn more about Special Access.

Where to Build Assignments

You can begin creating a new assignment in two ways. Both will take you to the same page.

On the navbar, click Content . Navigate to a module, click Upload/Create and select New Assignment .
On the navbar, click Assessments and select Assignments .

Editing an Assignment

On the Assignments main page, you will see a list of all your existing assignments.
Locate the assignment you want to change and select the chevron icon [⌵] to the right of the assignment's name.
Here you can edit, copy or delete the assignment. You can also edit the assignment within a module. Please note that this functionality is limited.

Placing Assignments in Modules

Within the Content tool, locate the module in which you would like students to access the assignment.
After selecting this module, click Existing Activities , then select Assignments .
Select the assignment you would like to add, searching by name if necessary.
Then drag the assignment so that the order/placement within the module is correct.

Adding Restrictions and Rubrics to an Assignment

You may want to set additional conditions to an assignment, such as availability, release conditions, rubrics and/or special access.

Add Restrictions to an Assignment (Video)

Adding Rubrics to Assignments

Before attaching a rubric, ensure it is complete and its status is set to published .

Create or edit the assignment (see above).
Locate the Evaluation & Feedback category in the right-hand column and expand the section.
Select Add Rubric and choose an existing rubric or create a new rubric.
Click Save and Close.

Using a Rubric

First, select the submission you would like to assess. The rubric will populate on the righthand side of each submission under the Evaluation and Feedback header. Open the associated rubric and select the performance level for each of the criterion. Use the preassigned feedback or customize sections as desired. If the rubric uses points or percentages, the grade will calculate automatically, however, you can manually change category scores, total score and overall score. When finished with the rubric, select Close .

Grading an Assignment

There are several ways to grade in Brightspace. If grading submissions from a single assignment, locate it within the Assignments tool. If grading submissions from several assignments, you can use the Quick Eval tool.

If using the Quick Eval tool, all submissions that need grading will populate here including assignments, quizzes and discussions. Therefore, if you are looking to grade a specific assignment, it will likely be more efficient to do so from the assignment itself within the Assignments tool.

Grade Submissions in Assignments (Video)

Annotating an Assignment

While grading students’ submissions, you can digitally insert notes, highlight text and write directly on the document to give meaningful feedback .

Getting Started with Canvas Assignments

Last modification date Updated On July 26, 2024
Categories: Assignments , Canvas , Uncategorized
Categories: assessment , Getting Started , Grading

Canvas Assignments are a way for instructors to provide students opportunities to practice using the knowledge and skills they have gained or to assess student performance related to such knowledge and skills. (Creating an Assignment is the only way to create a new column in the Gradebook.)

In Canvas there are four basic Submission Types for assignments. The submission types include:

No Submission : For assignments for which you are not collecting any content from the students.
Text Entry : For students to enter text directly into a text box on Canvas.
Website URL : For students to enter a URL (usually to a blog, video, podcast, etc.).
Media Recordings : For students to upload or record media for submission.
File Uploads : For students to upload files for submission ( Restrict Upload File Types will allow you to limit which types of files may be submitted).
On Paper : For assignments students will submit in person.
External Tool : For assignments which students will submit through a third-party tool (such as Turnitin, Panopto Video Quiz, and PlayPosit).

Managing an Assignment

Managing assignment groups.

When getting started with Assignments, learn to

Create an assignment shell with the Canvas guide How do I create an assignment?

If you select Peer Reviews Appear Anonymously , annotation tools in SpeedGrader will become unavailable.

If you change the Assign To area from Everyone to select students after submissions have already begun, and do not have a second set of Assign To dates, submissions from unassigned students will disappear.

Published assignments are visible as existing outside of availability dates, but students cannot see the details.
If looking to update the due and/or availability dates on multiple assignments, see How do I bulk update due dates and availability dates as an instructor?
If choosing the option to make an assignment a Group Assignment : If only assigning to specific groups, make sure to click the X on the Everyone Else choice under Assign to .

Media Recording Assignments are not recommended due to technical reasons. Instead, have students submit media by embedding it in a Text Entry assignment through Panopto .

Clearly express expectations and criteria for grading by using a Rubric .

Be cautious limiting submission attempts, as students often make mistakes loading documents and need multiple attempts to ensure you have the correct submission.

Delete an assignment with the Canvas guide How do I delete an assignment?
This duplication process will not work for Quizzes.
Attach a rubric to an assignment for grading or to communicate expectations to students with the Canvas guide How do I add a rubric to an assignment?

Accessibility Tips

Use descriptive text for links, instead of long URLs or ‘click here’.
Make instructions brief and to-the-point. Avoid long paragraphs and sentences.
Consider allowing multiple submission types to accommodate technical limitations students may face.

Assignment Groups are a way to categorize different graded items in Canvas. For example, you may have journals, blogs, and essays which your students create in your course. Assignment Groups allow you to label and group different types of assignments separately in order to better organize and for ease when applying weighting (see How do I weight the final course grade based on assignment groups? ). When getting started with Assignment Groups, learn to

Add and delete assignment groups with the Canvas guide How do I add an assignment group in a course?
Move or reorder an assignment group with the Canvas guide How do I move or reorder an assignment group?
Make rules governing grading expectations within assignment groups with the Canvas guide How do I create rules for an assignment group?

Assignments Tool

Assignment Dropbox is where users can submit files for assignments. TurnItIn originality checking is integrated with Assignments, generating originality reports to review possible instances of plagiarism in submitted files. Submitted files can also be evaluated within the Assignments tool, and evaluations can be associated with grade items in Grades.

Select assignments in the course navigation bar.
Select the New Folder button.
Enter a title for the folder in the "Name" field.
By default, the "Grade out of" field is ungraded. To change this, select Ungraded.
Enter in a point value.
Edit or Link to Existing: Link the assignment to an existing or new item in Grades.If the grade item was not created, select the option Create and link to a new grade item. Choose the type of grade item to create and the grade scheme to use. If using categories, select a category. When finished select OK. If the grade item was already created, select the option to Link to an existing grade item. Choose the item from the dropdown list and select OK.
Not in Gradebook: Attach a score to the assignment that will not be included in Grades.
Reset to Ungraded: Resets the score to the default setting of "Ungraded."
Due Date: Set a date for the assignment to show up in the course calendar.
Instructions : Enter any steps for the assignment to be submitted.
Add Files : Use the icons in the tool bar to add any files, links, video, or audio to the folder. Hover over the icons to see the function.
Availability Dates & Conditions : Select this tab to restrict access to the folder by adding a Start Date and/or End Date.
Submission & Completion : Select this tab to set up a group assignment, change the assignment type, alter the number of assignments each student can turn in, or set up email notifications for assignments from specific students. See Setting up a Group assignment for instructions on group assignments folders.
Evaluation & Feedback : Select this tab to attach a rubric, add learning objectives, or add Turnitin. See Rubrics in D2L and Using Originality Checking for more information.

Set Start, End, and Due dates on a assignment folder to control access to assignment folders.

A start date indicates when the assignment is released to students. Prior to the start date, students will be able to see the assignment folder, but they will not be able to access it.
A due date is the instructor-given date (and time) deadline for submitting an assignment. However, a student may submit after the due date (up until an end date, if one is set), in which case it is marked late, in red, in both the instructor and the student view.
An end date is more restrictive. It cuts off the assignment folder at the end date and time set, so students can no longer submit work after that date.

If a due date and end date are both set, then the assignment can be submitted late, after the due date, until the end date is reached.

Set dates on assignments

Select the dropdown arrow next to the assignment folder.
Select Edit Folder.
The "Edit Folder" page will open. Select the Availability Dates & Conditions tab.
Start Date: A start date prevents access to the folder before the specified date and time.
End Date: An end date will prohibit assignments after the specified date and time.
Use the calendar to select the date.
Once the date is selected, it will appear next to a time. The default time is 11:59 PM, but any time can be entered by selecting the field.
Once complete, select Save and Close.

Hide assignment folders

Use the arrow keys to choose a location.
Press Enter to drop the item in the new location.

You can delete an assignment from your course and if no student submissions exist, the gradebook item is also deleted. For assignments with submissions, you must confirm that you want to permanently remove the assignment, all submissions, and grades from your course.

Or, hide the assignment from students to preserve the submissions and the scores in the Gradebook. Students can't access hidden assignments on the Course Content page or on their grades pages even if you have graded submissions.

When you create an assignment and make it visible to students, they're notified in their activity streams.

New assignment notification displayed in the activity stream of the Student's view.

After you post assignment grades, students can select View your grade to display their grades. Any feedback you provide appears after the assignment title.

The activity stream of the Student's view is open with the "View my grade" button clicked and an example grade highlighted.

You'll see an alert in the stream when you have submissions to grade. Select the assignment title to begin grading on the assignment submissions page.

New submission ready to grade notification displayed in the activity stream of the Instructor's view.

Collect submissions offline

You can create assessments that appear on the Course Content page that don't require students to upload submissions. You can add instructions, files, a rubric, and goals so students can prepare for the offline work. You can also enable conversations, but you can't add questions or grade anonymously.

Examples of offline work :

Oral presentations
Science fair projects
Acting performances
Artwork delivered in person
Face-to-face team building exercises, panel discussions, and debates

Instructors who teach hybrid courses may find this type of assessment most useful. For example, you can use a rubric to grade an in-class presentation as a student presents. No need to take notes or add a score later.

When you create an assessment, you can choose to collect submissions offline in the settings panel. When students open this type of assessment, they're informed they can't submit work online. If you create groups to collect submissions offline, students can view their group members.

The Assignment page is open with 1) the Assignment settings panel on screen and 2) the "Collect submissions offline" option clicked and highlighted.

For submissions collected offline, you can't allow multiple attempts, allow a time limit, or use SafeAssign.

For grades that require students to be present outside of class, such as for a guest speaker or a field trip, you can add meetings to the attendance feature.

Assignments: View and evaluate assignment submissions

There are a number of different options for reviewing and evaluating student assignment submissions, as well as options for publishing grades and feedback.

We recommend reviewing these options when creating your assignments, so you can have these strategies in mind. Some of the settings are best completed before the grading has begun.

 View student submissions

View assignment submissions.

1. On the Assignment Submission Folders page, click on the folder you want to view submissions for, or click View Submissions .

2. By default, you should see the full list of students below. If they have submissions, you will see the submission name below the student's name. You can use the Users tab or Submissions tab to view and search submissions by user or file name. You should be able to easily find the student submission you wish to grade in the list below. If you have a large classlist, or have trouble finding a particular student, you can use the search options to find what you're looking for. If you do not see the search options, click on Show Search Options . Searching by User enables you to search by first name, last name, submissions, and feedback.

Searching by Submissions enables you to search by file name, submission date, read status, and flagged status. Filter the results using Show Search Options to access the dropdown menu and checkboxes below. Here, you can choose to display only the users with submissions, only the users without submissions, users with graded submissions that haven't been published yet, and so on. Click on the magnifying glass icon in the search box, to update the view.

3. Submissions appear at the bottom of the page.

Download assignment submissions

It is easiest to grade student submissions within D2L Brightspace, but if the nature of the assignment or file type makes this difficult, it is possible to download all student submissions to your computer.

1. Go to the Assignments tool in your course, and click the arrow to the right of the name of the assignment, and select View Submissions .

2. Using the checkboxes, select the submissions you want to download. By clicking the top checkmark, you can download all submissions on that page. (Note that you can adjust the number of submissions per page).

3. Click Download .

4. Download the resulting .zip file by clicking on the Download button in the dialogue box.

Email students who haven't submitted an assignment

If you have students who have yet to submit an assignment to a submission folder, you can email all those students at once.

1. From the appropriate assignment folder, click Email Users Without Submissions .

2. All the users without submission will appear in the BCC field.

3. Compose your email.

4. Click Send . If you are emailing a large number of students (ie. more than 100), after you click on the Send button, you may see a message that your message is queued to be sent as a background task. This is to help manage performance on the server. It should only take a few minutes for all of the emails to be sent.

 Evaluate and provide feedback on student submissions

Hide the assignment results from the students.

This is a useful workflow to apply if you don't want the students to see any of their results (grades, feedback, rubrics) across any of the tools in Brightspace (Grades, Assignments and Progress). You may wish to do this while grading, so you can release all feedback to the class at the same time.

Outline of the required steps:

Hide the grade item.

"Save draft" when grading the assignments
Once all submissions are in, hide the assignment
Publish the assignment grades and feedback

The "hide from users" option for a grade item

This step ensures the students cannot see the grade item in the Grades tool.

We recommend using this setting when creating all grade items, as it provides you with more control to release grades.

To hide the grade item:

Go to Grades > Manage Grades , and locate the grade item you would like to hide.
Click the arrow icon to the right of the title.
Select Hide from users .

4. Once clicked, you will see an icon (which looks like an eye with a line through it) appear next to the grade item to indicate that it is now hidden from the students.

"Save draft" as you grade the assignment

When grading the assignment, be sure to "Save Draft" as you go.

You should wait until you have graded all of your students' submissions before "publishing", so that all students receive their grade and feedback at the same time.

Proceed to grade all of the submissions. This can happen while students are submitting (if you have allowed some extensions, for example).

After all submissions are in: hide the assignment

This step can only be completed if all of the students have submitted their assignment, as it will hide the assignment from them completely.

This ensures the students cannot see the assignment nor the assignment results (grades, feedback) in the Assignments tool nor the Progress tool.

To hide the assignment:

Go to the Assignments tool and edit the assignment.
At the bottom of the page, check the button to change the status to "Hidden" .
Save the assignment.
When viewing the list of assignments in the Assignment tool, you will now see an icon next to the assignment to indicate that it has been hidden.

Important! This step should only be taken once all of the assignment submissions are in. If there are any students who still need to submit their assignment, this will not work.

After all submissions have been graded: publish all feedback

Once you have graded all of the submissions, you can publish the assignment grades and feedback.

Note that this will not display the results to the students, because you have hidden both the grade item and the assignment in the steps above.

To publish all feedback:

Go to the Assignments tool and view the assignment submissions.
Click the Publish All button in the top left of the page.

This will push the score and feedback to the gradebook.

Pay attention to the information in the popup window, before you click on Publish. You will see information about any potential problems, such as partially-graded submissions. This can help you spot when you've missed something.

If you are not ready to publish all feedback yet, and want to publish the feedback in batches, please see the section on publishing feedback on this page.

Evaluate file submissions

Evaluate a student's assignment submission

1. On the Assignments page, click on the assignment you want to evaluate submissions for, or click on View Submissions .

2. Click on the student's submission that you wish to evaluate.

If there are multiple submissions for one student, look at the file name and submission date to determine which file you wish to evaluate.

3. If the document doesn't load, click on the file name to load the student's submission in the document viewer. Depending on the file type, the submission may appear directly in the browser. The following file types are compatible with the document viewer:

MS Word (DOC, DOCX)
MS PowerPoint (PPT, PPTX, PPS)
Adobe Acrobat (PDF, PDFS)
Web (HTM, HTML)
Plain text (TXT)
Images (BMP, GIF, JPG, JPEG, PNG)

If clicking on the file does not load it in the browser, the file may be in a format that the document viewer does not support. Download it to your computer, and view using the appropriate software.

NOTE: If the student has uploaded a file type that you can't open, you may need to contact the student and ask them to resubmit in a particular format (ie. DOC, PDF). If the end date for the assignment has passed, you may need to make sure the assignment is not hidden, then add the student to Special Access with a start/end date that allows them to resubmit.

4. If you choose to associate a rubric with this assignment, it will be available when grading. Detailed instructions for grading with the rubric can be accessed on our Rubrics for Assessments page.

5. Enter a score for the submission.

6. Enter written feedback, if desired. This box is ideal for shorter feedback. If you are providing more than about a page of feedback, it's better to use option 7 (below) so that students can download and read offline.

7. Feedback can also be provided as an uploaded file , or as audio or video recorded directly into the platform.

8. If you wish, you can use the annotation toolbar tools to add comments, highlight, or even draw to mark up the student's submission.

To learn more about the Annotation tool, open the Using the Annotation tool section, located on this page.

9. Select Publish when you're ready to release your feedback. Click Save as Draft if you want to publish at a later date (students won't be able to see grades or feedback until you click Publish). You can bulk publish at a later time from the Submissions page. To proceed to the next student, click on the right-facing arrow, located in the lower-right corner of the page. To go back to the previous student's submission, click on the left-facing arrow.

Evaluate text submissions

1. On the Assignments page, click on the assignment you want to evaluate submissions for, or click on the downward-facing arrow beside the assignment name, and select View Submissions .

2. For the student you wish to evaluate, click on either View Submission , or on the far right, click on Go to Evaluation (both take you to the same place).

3. The submission will load in the left pane of the evaluation screen.

4. Enter a score for the submission.

5. Enter written feedback if necessary.

6. If desired, you may attach feedback, by uploading a file , web link, audio or video.

7. Select Publish when you're ready to release your feedback. Click Save Draft if you want to publish at a later date (students won't be able to see grades or feedback until you click Publish). You can bulk publish at a later time from the Submissions page.

8. When you are ready to evaluate the next student's submission, click on the right arrow in the either the upper right or lower right of the page.

Evaluate submissions using Rubrics

Annotate student submissions.

The annotation tool in D2L Brightspace assignments allows you to mark up a student's submission as a means of providing feedback in-situ.

IMPORTANT: Annotations are not recommended for use with assistive technology. If your students use assistive technology, consider providing written feedback in the feedback field.

The "Annotations" feature can be enabled in the assignment editor, in the Evaluation & Feedback panel.

When you open a student's submission on the evaluation page, you will notice the annotation toolbar along the top of the document.

The main tools that you will use to mark up a student's document can be found under the "Annotations" tool, and are noted by an orange arrow in this screenshot.

Drawing tools include the drawing, note, text and line tools.

NOTE: The annotation tool does not autosave. Save as Draft frequently if providing extensive feedback. Otherwise, you risk losing your work if you close your browser without saving.

Under the Drawing icon, there are four options:

Drawing: Use this tool to circle or underline items of note, or draw on the document, such as editorial markup.

Freeform Highlight: Use this tool as you would a physical highlighter, to highlight an area of the document in a freeform manner.

Text Highlighter: Use this tool to highlight specific text.

Eraser: Use this tool to remove marks made with any drawing tools.

Choose a tool by clicking on the icon.

Secondary toolbar

After selecting a tool, if it has more options, you will see a secondary toolbar below the main toolbar, which provides various options, such as pen colour, pen width, etc. Click on the options to make your choices before using the tool to mark up the document.

Notes + Flags

Add a location-specific flag to your markup. The note displays an icon, and expands to reveal a longer note with optional written feedback.

Click on the Note tool in the main toolbar, and choose the type of note and style: colour, font, etc in the secondary toolbar.
Click where you would like to place the note, and type your message. Once you are done, click out of the note.
Save as Draft frequently if providing extensive feedback or multiple notes.

Annotated Text

If you want to add a small piece of text to your markup:

Click on the Text tool in the main toolbar, and choose colour, font, etc in the secondary toolbar.
Click where you would like to place the text, and type your message. While the text is active, you may notice a red squiggle under any possible spelling errors. Click and type to correct. Once you click out of the text, you will no longer see the spellchecking indication.

NOTE: This tool is intended only for short pieces of text. We recommend using the note tool or the Overall Feedback box for longer messages.

Undo/Redo your last action

If you accidentally did something in the annotation tool, if you haven't clicked on anything else, you can click on the Undo button.

Similarly, if you accidentally clicked on the Undo button and haven't clicked on anything else, click on the Redo button to restore that action.

You can also use keyboard shortcuts:

Ctrl-z (PC) / Command-z (Apple) - Undo
Ctrl-Shift-z (PC) / Command-Shift-z (Apple) - Redo

If you discover your mistake after you have clicked on other things, see the instructions below to delete a markup item.

Delete a markup item

To remove a markup item:

Click on the hand icon in the main toolbar.
Click on the item to be deleted.
Click on the trash can, located on either the far left or far right of the secondary toolbar.

View and mark up document in full screen

If you wish to view a student's document in full screen, you can do this by clicking on the Toggle Fullscreen icon, located on the far right of the main toolbar.

Exit full screen

When you wish to exit full screen mode, and view the document back in D2L (so you can Publish or Save Draft), click on the Toggle Fullscreen icon, located in the far upper-right of the screen.

Rotate page

Depending on the format of a learner submission, documents may appear rotated when initially rendered in the document viewer. Use the Page Rotation tool to quickly reorient the document so it displays as expected.

You can find this tool under the Page Layout icon, which looks like a gear.

 Additional evaluation options

Evaluate submissions with anonymous grading.

Avoid unconscious bias in the grading and feedback process by configuring assignments to anonymize learner names.

When the feature is selected while setting up an assignment, instructors will only see an anonymized learner name on assignment submissions.

NOTE: You must enable anonymous grading before students start to upload assignment submissions. You should also provide students with instructions to omit any identifying information from their document, including the file name.

To ensure the anonymity of submissions, you must grade completely within D2L.

Advise your students to remove their name and all identifying information from the assignment submissions and filenames.

Turnitin should not be used with anonymous grading, as it displays the students' names.

Tips for the effective use of anonymous grading:

Publishing of evaluated submissions effectively ends anonymous grading . if you are accepting late submissions, they will not be anonymous.
Grading may take place over multiple sessions, but publishing of graded submissions should be done all at once, to maintain anonymity.

Enable anonymous marking in an assignment

If you want to enable anonymous grading in an assignment, you can do this either when you are creating the assignment, or you can edit the assignment settings before any students submit.

Expand the Evaluation & Feedback panel.
Check the box beside Hide student names during assessment .
Make sure you click on either Save or Save and Close .

Once you have saved your changes, if you return to Assessments > Assignments , you can see the anonymous grading icon indicated to the right of the assignment name.

Grade 'anonymous' submissions

When you are ready to grade student's submissions, go to Assessments > Assignments , and click on the name of the assignment to see the list of submissions.

Note that instead of seeing student names, you see "Anonymous User 1", "Anonymous User 2", etc.

Also note that you can still see the name of the file the student uploaded, so you will want to instruct students not to include their name or other identifying information anywhere in the file or filename. If you have mentioned to your students that you are grading anonymously, and need them to leave out identifying information, assure them that when they login to D2L Brightspace and upload a file, that file is permanently associated with their profile. There is no concern about losing track of which student uploaded a file.

Click on a file name or the ' Go to Evaluation ' link to view and grade the assignment.

Note that grading, providing markup comments and feedback are the same as regular assignments. You just can't see any information that identifies the student.

The only difference is that while grading anonymous submissions, you should save all marked assignments as Draft .

When you are done grading all submissions, and you are ready to publish all grades to the gradebook, and make all feedback available to students, return to the list of submissions, and click on the Publish All button.

It may take a few minutes to publish, particularly if you have a large class, so please be patient.

If you have not graded all students, you will receive a warning.

IMPORTANT: If you publish grading before you have marked all assignment submissions, you will lose the anonymous functionality. Once grading/feedback have been published, student names will be revealed.

You can now see all student names and their submissions.

Any submissions that have not been evaluated can still be graded in the usual way, and saved as Draft or Published.

If you decide to revisit a previously graded assignment submission after you have published, you will not see an active Draft or Publish button. Just make the changes and then click on "Next Student", and you will be prompted to save. You will then need to Publish All Feedback for the student to see the updated grade or feedback.

If you click on Publish All again, keep in mind that if you have made any changes to previously entered feedback for any students, it will all be updated at this time. If the grade item is visible, students who have notifications enabled, will receive a notification of the updated grade.

Evaluate assignments received on paper or observed in person

Click on the contextual menu beside the assignment name and select view submissions

Mark assessments as "Complete"

Before you even start grading papers that have been submitted in person or presentations, you may want to quickly mark those students who have submitted or presented as "complete". This will enable you to see at a glance how many students have yet to complete the assignment.

1. Go to Assessment > Assignment , and click on the assignment name or View Submissions to see the list of students.

2. To mark those students who have completed the assignment, scroll down the list of student names, and select the checkbox to the left of each student's name.

3. Click on the Mark as Complete link, located above the list of students.

You can now see the date/time that each of these students was marked as complete.

Email students who have not submitted/presented

You may wish to check in or remind students who have not yet submitted their assignment or presented in class. Once you have marked the students who have completed their assignment as "complete", this is quite easy.

1. Click on the grey Email Users Marked Incomplete button.

2. A message window will open with the students added in the BCC field. Type in a subject line, compose the email message and click on Send . You will receive a copy of this message in your university email inbox.

Evaluate submissions

1. In your course shell, go to Assessment > Assignments .

2. Click on the assignment name to view the list of students.

3. To evaluate a particular student, to the right of the student's name, click on Go to Evaluation .

4. If you have associated a rubric with the assignment, it will be available at the top of the right-hand pane. Click on the name of the rubric you wish to use to evaluate this assignment. The rubric will expand in the pane.

5. Type the grade into the Overall Grade field.

6. If desired, you can type any feedback into the Overall Feedback field. You can also attach a file , a web link, record audio or video feedback, if you wish.

7. If you are not ready to publish grades to the gradebook, click on the Save Draft button. If you are done, click on the Publish button. Before you publish, you may wish to make sure the grade item is hidden , so that you can make sure that all students see their grade at the same time.

8. When you are ready to evaluate the next student's submission, click on the right arrow in either the upper right or lower right of the page. To return to the list of students, click on the Back to Submissions button, found in the upper-left of the page.

If you saved evaluations as Draft, make sure you publish grades to the gradebook when you are done grading. Also, when you are ready for students to see their grades, make sure that the grade item is visible.

Evaluate an assignment with no submission

What if the student didn't submit their assignment.

While you cannot submit the student's paper on their behalf - and therefore cannot use tools such as anotations - you can still provide the student with a score, completed rubric (if used) and written feedback.

 Evaluators can provide the following for students who did not submit their assignment:

A score grade
A completed rubric (if applicable)

 Evaluators will not be able to utilize the following tools without the student's submission:

Annotations

First, go into the Assignments tool, locate the assignment you wish to grade, and click its title to view the submissions for that assignment.

By default, you should be shown a full list of the students, but if you only see a list of who did complete a submission, you can change the filter to show all students, so that you can find the student who did not complete a submsision.

Click the "Show Search Options" link.

Scroll down the page to the "Submissions" section and click the dropdown menu there.

Select the option to "Show everyone" .

Alternatively, if you only want to view the students who did not make a submission, you can select "Users without submissions" .

Next, look to the search field at the top.

To view a specific student , type the student's last name into the search field.

Click the magnifying glass icon . This will show a list of all students that match the search criteria.

Review the list of students that match the search criteria you set above.

In this example, you will see one student with an assignment submission, and one without.

Click the "Go to Evaluation" link, in either case, to provide the student with an assessment.

NOTE: While the above is an acceptable process, a much better solution is to add the student to "Special Access" with a different start/end date/time, allowing them to upload their assignment submission, so that all of your students' submissions reside within your D2L Brightspace course shell. This ensures easy follow-up, in the case of any kind of dispute.

Bulk publish feedback

Publishing feedback can serve two purposes:

It pushes the grades into the gradebook, if you have connected the assignment to a grade item.
It provides the students with their scores, feedback and rubric evaluations.

If you only want to push the grades into the gradebook, and you do not want the students to see the results, please see the workflow above to hide the assignment results from the students.

The steps below outline two options:

Publish all feedback
Bulk publish feedback for select students' submissions

Note that this will not display the results to the students, because we have hidden both the grade item and the assignment in the steps above.

Click the "Publish All" button at the top of the page.

Not ready to publish all of the feedback? Select which ones to publish

The checkboxes can be used to select which students' grades and feedback should be published.

To publish feedback for select students:

At the bottom of the page of submissions, review the number of submissions displayed per page -- raise this to a higher number, if necessary. The maximum will be 200 per page, so you may still have multiple pages of submissions.
Use the checkboxes to select the student submissions to publish.
Click the "Publish Feedback" link at the top of the list of submissions.
If needed, repeat the process for each page of students.

Upload feedback (individual files)

Instructors may provide feedback directly within a student's submission (e.g. making track changes in Microsoft Word or Adobe Acrobat) and upload the feedback as an attachment. See the tutorial for instructions to download assignment submissions .

To upload individual feedback files:

1. On the Assignments Submission Folders page, click on the folder you want to evaluate submissions for or click View Submissions .

2. Select the file you wish to upload feedback for, by clicking on either the file name or Go to Evaluation .

3. Enter a score for the submission.

4. Click the file upload icon to upload a feedback file (e.g. a Word Doc, pdf, etc).

5. Select Publish .

Upload feedback (multiple files)

It is possible to upload all feedback files simultaneously, however the naming convention must be accurate so Brightspace can assign the correct file to the correct student.

The instructions outlined below can mostly be applied to both Mac and Windows.

PC Users will follow the steps with the following adjustments:

After downloading the files and adding feedback to the documents, save the files and folders with the same names as downloaded. Do not change any of the file/folder names . Zip the folder and proceed to Step 3 .
When adding the feedback files in Step 5 , simply add the zipped folder of all the feedback files.

1. When downloading the students' submissions , note the naming convention of the files once unzipped. Each student has their own folder and each folder begins with a unique code that identifies the student (e.g. 7627-9289). You will need these codes in order to proceed.

2. For each feedback file you wish to upload, copy the corresponding student code (e.g. 7627-9289) to the beginning of the feedback file.

For example, if your feedback file is called "JDoe-Assignment1-Feedback.doc", and the student's unique code is 7627-9289, the filename must read "7627-9289 - JDoe-Assignment1-Feedback.doc".

3. Upload the feedback files by clicking on the appropriate assignment folder on the Assignments Submission Folders page.

4. Click Add Feedback Files

5. Drag and drop all feedback files or click Upload and select the appropriate files.

6. Click Add .

Be sure to check if the feedback was correctly assigned! We recommend reviewing the submissions of a couple of students and check that the appropriate feedback file has been uploaded.

To proceed with the rest of the grading, enter a score and select Publish .

The Evaluate Submission page enables you to evaluate and leave feedback on assignment submissions. It contains two main sections: The Submissions List panel and the Evaluation panel. Use the Evaluation panel to grade and provide comments on submissions. On paper submissions and observed in person assignments display only the Evaluation panel, as no submissions are made in Brightspace.

For more information about evaluating and adding feedback to assignments using a screen reader or keyboard-only navigation, refer to .

Evaluate assignment submissions

You can either publish feedback immediately or save your feedback as a draft and release it later. This enables you to revise and review evaluations and publish your feedback to multiple users at the same time. You have the option to retract published feedback to provide an update to past evaluations, ensuring learners access your most recent feedback.

Assignment submissions have status indicators to note the state of the evaluation.

A chart showing a matrix for the various status indicators in assignment evaluations

You cannot publish or save your draft if the field exceeds 300,000 characters. If the field exceeds the character limit or if the contains an invalid grade, attempting to save or publish causes a dialog to appear with the tooltip "There is one or more errors in the information entered appears".

Check an evaluation status

When there are multiple evaluators assigned, you can check assignment status and additional information with hover text.

To check an evaluation status

Navigate to the Assignments tool.
Open an assignment which status you want to check.

The evaluation interface shows a list of users and their submission statuses. Each row includes the user's name, submission date, and options to Go to Evaluation and delete. The interface also has options for downloading, emailing, marking as read or unread, deleting, and publishing feedback. The hovered text shows the date and time when the draft was saved.

Figure: Hover your cursor over an assignment in the Users tab to view additional information.

Refer to Advanced Assessment for Assignments in test, development, and staging environments of Brightspace for more information.

Make one shared evaluation ready for review

As an evaluator, you can reduce communication errors during the evaluation of co-marking and delegation assignments when publishers and evaluators are not the same person. When you have completed your evaluation, set the evaluation to Ready for Review to inform the publisher that the evaluation is ready and can move on to the next phase.

To use one shared evaluation and ready for review

Click Create an assignment and in Evaluation & Feedback > Coordinate Multiple Evaluators select One shared evaluation .

The Evaluation & Feedback section of the New Assignment creation page highlights the Coordinate Multiple Evaluators options with One shared evaluation selected. This option states All evaluators work on the same evaluation together. Publishers release this evaluation to learners. Below this is the Multiple individual evaluations option.

When the assignment is submitted, on the Assignments page, click on your assignment.

On the Submissions page, click the assignment.

Click Ready for Review .

The Submission Review page for the assignment has the Ready for Review button highlighted at the bottom, with the Save Draft button and a navigation arrow button next to it.

A dialog appears stating that the Evaluation is ready for review , and the button at the bottom changes to Update .

The Submission Review page for the assignment has the Update button highlighted at the bottom.

Figure: You can click the Update button on Submission Review page to update your evaluation.

Once you, as an evaluator, click Ready for Review , the evaluation is ready for reviewing and publishing. Publishers have access to the Publish button.

Evaluate using annotations

If you have built in annotations turned on, you can mark up submissions using highlighting, free hand drawing, shapes, and associated commenting directly from the Evaluate Submission page. Use the icons in the document viewer toolbar to select between Drawing , Note , Text , and Line . You can undo or redo any annotations using the undo or redo buttons located on the menu or using keyboard shortcuts. The keyboard shortcuts for PCs are Ctrl+z for undo and Ctrl+Shift+z for redo. For MAC OS, the shortcuts are Command+z for undo and Command+Shift+z for redo.

Text annotations have a character limit of 1,048,576 characters.

Each tool has additional options to change color, font size, font, and many other customizable items. Once you publish the feedback, learners can view their submission with the annotations visible, providing additional context.

For information about file types that are supported by the annotation tool in Assignments, refer to File types supported by Annotations

Download and evaluate assignment submission files

If you download user submissions and leave feedback within the files, you can upload them back to the appropriate assignment so they appear as attachments to each user's submission evaluation. To ensure successful feedback upload and distribution back to learners, do not rename the downloaded files' names after you enter feedback and save changes.

To evaluate and add feedback to downloaded submissions

Navigate to Assignments .

Select Select all rows and then click Download . This creates a .zip file.

Each user submission folder has a numeric ID prefixed to the folder name. This ID is key when you are uploading the evaluated submission files and it should not be changed. Example downloaded file name with the numeric ID: 30230-29 - John Doe - May 29, 2020 122 PM.

Open each assignment, evaluate the assignment, add your feedback, and then save the file.

If you have any learner names with characters that cannot be used in a compressed folder, such as Ø, rename that folder and reattempt to create a .zip folder. Do not change the ID prefixed to the name of the folder.

Learners can review feedback files in the assignment or in the Grades tool.

To publish feedback to selected learners select these learners and click Publish Feedback .
To publish feedback to all learners, click Publish All Feedback . If the Publish All Feedback button is grayed out, you have no draft feedback to publish. If you have Anonymous Marking enabled, you must click Save Draft and save your feedback for each anonymous user, then click Publish All Feedback on the assignment page to submit feedback to the anonymous users.
If you have any rubrics attached to learner submissions and if these learner submissions have not been evaluated on all rubric criteria, a Confirmation dialog box appears indicating the same. Click Continue Grading or Publish Anyway , as applicable.

The link appears when you have the permission turned on for your role.

To evaluate using learning outcomes, select the desired level of achievement below the outcome.
When you leave feedback in Turnitin, the feedback icon on the assignment submission page, in the Turnitin Online Grading column.
If you added an Online Grading score, the score displays on the submissions page, in the Turnitin Online Grading column.

Add assignment submissions to Brightspace Portfolio

You can add assignment submissions to Brightspace Portfolio. When you add an assignment submission to Portfolio, all submission versions, feedback, and grades are added to Portfolio.

You can then review the submission as evidence in Brightspace Portfolio and share that evidence with Parents and Guardians.

Once you add a learner's submission to Portfolio as evidence, it is treated as a record of work as assignment evidence independent of the Assignments tool. Assignment submissions added to Portfolio as evidence remain in the learner's Portfolio after the course has ends.

: You must ensure that your administrator has correctly set up Brightspace Portfolio for your instance of Brightspace before starting this process. As part of this setup, your administrator must assign you appropriate role permissions to enable you to add assignment submissions to Portfolio from the Assignments tool. You must also ensure that learners have permission to view the assignment being added to Portfolio. Refer to for more details.

To add an assignment submission to Portfolio

Navigate to the Assignments tool and click on an assignment.
From the Submissions page of that assignment, click Users .
Locate a user that has completed an assignment submission.

The Add to Portfolio option from the Assignment Submissions page.

From the Add this Assignment to Portfolio? dialog, click Add .

The selected learner's assignment submission is added to their portfolio as evidence. This evidence remains in the learner's Portfolio after the course has ended.

: Assignment submissions that are added to Portfolio do not automatically update when you add grades or feedback to the assignment submission from the Assignments tool. If you want updated grades or feedback to be included with a submission added to Portfolio, you must add the submission to Portfolio again to update. The newer version of the submission is added as a new and separate piece of Portfolio evidence and does not replace the original submission.

Evaluate video submissions

You can give grades and feedback for video files that learners attach and submit as part of an assignment.

To evaluate video submissions

Click the Actions drop-down menu beside your desired assignment and then select View Submissions .
Click the Submissions tab.
Select the video submission and click Download . Save the .zip file and review.

A submitted video file as displayed on the Submissions tab.

You can also provide feedback by attaching a separate file to a submission. On the page, click . Select your compressed .zip file and then click .

The Overall Grade and Overall Feedback fields of a video submission.

Click Publish .

If your assignment is associated with a grade item in your Grade Book, the Overall Grade you entered is automatically added to your grade book. To review and edit the Overall Grade of all evaluations applied to that grade item, click the Assignment attached icon next to the Overall Grade field to open your grade book. For more information about grade items, refer to Create and delete grade categories and items .

You cannot publish or save your draft if the field exceeds 300,000 characters. If the field exceeds the character limit or if the contains an invalid grade, a dialog pops up and the tooltip "There is one or more errors in the information entered appears" when you try to save or publish.

About the New Assignment Evaluation Experience

The New Evaluation Experience brings consistency to evaluating in Brightspace for all assessable tools. For now, the experience is only available in Assignments and Discussions.

When you attempt to delete a rubric that is attached to an evaluated assignment, you must confirm that they want to detach the rubric from the assignment. This alert is intended to prevent potential data loss, because once a rubric is detached, the existing assessments for that rubric are deleted and cannot be restored.

The New Assignment Evaluation Experience uses the new Brightspace Editor as the default HTML editor.

The new editor does not require administrators to enable the new configuration variable. It is automatically enabled for feedback when you turn on the New Assignment Evaluation Experience.

An example of the Instructor view when evaluating assignments in the consistent evaluation experience.

Figure: Use the Overall Score slider in mobile and the New Assignment Evaluation Experience views to view and override the score level.
