How Can Instructors Upload Files as Assignments and Syllabi?
I am an instructor trying to create my course in Canvas.
How do I attach an assignment document that my students complete and then upload to be graded?
I do not see any way for an instructor to upload any document as an attachment.
I also want to know how to upload my syllabus as a document.
All of the answers on this topic have been directed to students even though it appears instructors were asking.
Hi Elaine and welcome to the Canvas Community! If you are creating an assignment and want to include an attached file, you need to upload the file to Canvas. There are a couple of ways this can be done. First, if you are in the assignment creating window or editing the syllabus tab, then you will see what is referred to as the rich content editor, What is the Rich Content Editor?. This document explains how to use the rich content editor to insert a file, How do I insert course files into the Rich Content Editor using the Content Selector as an instructor?
I am using the holidays to teach myself Canvas and it is a challenge.
I found the files approach.
I'm glad to hear that this will work Elaine and good luck!
