Print Friendly, PDF & Email

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 .

tip indicator

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?

About assignments in Canvas

Watch a video overview of Canvas assignments

Why do I have to re-create my assignments in Canvas?

If you already have assignments created in Word or Google docs, Catalyst tools, or posted online, you might wonder, “What’s the point is of recreating them in Canvas?” Not only does Canvas make it easy to create assignments with lots of options (selective release, group assignments, peer review, submission type) it also adds convenience for you and your students.

What are Assignment Groups?

Like Catalyst Gradebook, Canvas prefers for you to create assignment groups for organization. The groups you create control how the gradebook is structured and you can choose to weight final grades based on those groups. By default you begin with a group called Assignments. You can choose to keep all of your assignments in this one group, or create as many new ones as you like.

Where do I create assignments?

You can create assignments in the Assignments area of Canvas or in the Calendar. Your Assignments page will show the work you have assigned. In student view, the Assignments page will show all assigned work and the point value of each (if you set point values when setting up an assignment). Any graded activity (such as a discussion, quiz, essay or project) can be an assignment.

When you create an assignment in your Canvas course it is automatically added to the assignment list on the Syllabus page, the course calendar, and your gradebook. If you change the due date for an assignment, Canvas updates it course-wide. If you alter the assignment you can have Canvas notify your students.

What can I do with assignments?

Assignments can be used to:

  • Set up online submissions that can be quickly graded in the SpeedGrader™
  • Grade online submissions work submitted on paper
  • Set up peer review
  • Grade Discussions, either among the whole class or student groups
  • Open Quizzes for a limited amount of time
  • Create ungraded activities that align with course outcomes

Assignments and Grading

Having your assignments in Canvas and automatically linked to the gradebook means you can take advantage of SpeedGrader and rubrics to make the grading process faster and more efficient. Canvas communication tools allow you to provide your students with text or multimedia feedback on all assignments.

Canvas @ Yale

  • 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:

  • Creating an Assignment
  • Grading Assignments Using the SpeedGrader
  • Due Dates versus Display Dates
  • How do I automatically assign peer reviews for an assignment?
  • How do I view student peer review comments as an instructor?
  • How do I assign an assignment to a course group?
  • Turnitin Assignment Settings Options
  • Viewing a Turnitin Report (Instructor)

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.

how to print assignments from canvas

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).

How to Print on Canvas: Step-By-Step Guide

  • BY Ivy Fanning
  • September 9, 2024

In 2024, printing on canvas is a great way to make your pictures and designs into beautiful art. Want to improve your art or DIY skills? Learn how to print on canvas. This guide covers everything from materials to hanging.

How To Print on Canvas: Beginner’s Guide

Make custom canvas prints with these steps.

Materials and Images Needed

Choosing the right canvas material is key for custom canvas printing. Here are some tips to help you decide:

  • Cotton and Polyester: Has a natural texture, great for fine art. Produces bright, vibrant prints, ideal for photos.
  • Weight and Texture: Heavier canvas (measured in GSM) is more durable. Smooth or coarse textures affect the final look. Pick based on your artwork’s style and desired effect.

Start by choosing the perfect images for your canvas prints.

Choosing images that have a main focus and balanced parts to grab attention. Use bright colors and strong contrasts for best results. Avoid placing important details near the edges.

Find The Right Image Resolutions

Choose the right image resolution for your canvas prints. Here’s how to make your artwork stand out and look great:

  • Pixels and DPI: Your print quality depends on the image’s resolution. Try to use at least 300 DPI (dots per inch) for prints that look clear and detailed. A higher DPI is better for bigger prints.
  • Print Size: Larger canvases need high-resolution images. For example, an 8×10 inch picture should have at least 2400 by 3000 pixels. Always check the image quality before making it bigger to prevent blurry prints.
  • Image Editing Software: Use Photoshop or GIMP to adjust image resolution. These tools help resize images without losing quality.

Preparing Your Image

Next is to prepare your picture for printing. Here’s how to make important changes for the best print quality:

  • Image Correction: Adjust brightness, contrast, and colors for accurate printing.
  • Cropping and Layout: Look closely at the way the canvas is wrapped. For gallery wraps, avoid placing important elements near the edges.
  • File Format: Save your picture in a good quality type like TIFF or PNG. These formats offer higher quality than JPEG.

Decide on Printing Technique

The printing method affects canvas print quality and durability. Here are some options:

  • Print on Demand (POD): POD offers affordable, custom canvas prints. It doesn’t need you to keep a lot of stock. It provides high-quality and vibrant prints. 
  • Direct-to-Garment (DTG) Printing: POD uses inkjet printing for custom clothing. It’s also popular for canvas prints. 
  • Giclée Printing: High-quality inkjet printing for detailed artwork.
  • Dye Sublimation: This method heats ink until it turns into gas, which then sticks to the fabric fibers. This produces bright, long-lasting images that are great for pictures.
  • UV Printing: Uses special UV lights to quickly dry the ink. It’s quick, eco-friendly, and makes prints that don’t fade.
  • Direct Liquid Ink: New 2024 ink for sharper, brighter colors. It’s perfect for art that has lots of vibrant colors.

In conclusion, these step-by-step guides will let you know how to print an image on canvas. 

1/ Choose your canvas type

2/ Select Your Images

3/ Pick the Right Sized Canvas

4/ Load the Canvas into the Printer

5/ To Wrap or Not to Wrap Edges

How To Print on Canvas At Home

Printing on canvas at home is a fun project that lets you make your space special with your artwork. This guide will show you the important steps to make high-quality canvas prints at home.

Step 1: Gather Materials

Before you start printing on canvas at home, it’s important to collect all the materials you need.

Choose high-quality canvas sheets that are compatible with your printer. You need a printer that can work with thicker canvas. Use fade-resistant inks to keep your prints bright and long-lasting. Have scissors or a sharp craft knife ready to trim the canvas to size. If you want to hang your canvas, get a frame and stretcher bars that fit it.

Step 2: Load Printer

First, you must check compatibility. Make sure your printer can handle canvas material. Then, you load the canvas by placing it carefully in the printer, ensuring it’s straight. Set your printer to the highest quality settings.

Step 3: Print Canvas

Before printing, just final-check or double-check your image and printer settings. Then, choose the highest-quality print settings on your printer. Check the printing process to avoid issues. Let the canvas dry completely after printing. Finally, once it is dry, check the print for any ink or alignment issues.

Step 4: Dry and Cure

  • You can set aside time by letting the canvas dry undisturbed in a dust-free area for at least 24 hours.
  • Keep the canvas out of direct sunlight while it dries.
  • Gently touch the edges to ensure the canvas is completely dry.

Step 5: Mount and Stretch

Assemble the stretcher bars into a square frame. You lay the canvas over the frame, aligning it carefully for even image distribution. Secure the canvas to the stretcher bars, starting from the center. Trim any excess canvas from the edges for a neat finish.

How To Print on Canvas With Print on Demand/Online

Use a print-on-demand service to create custom canvas prints. Here are a few steps: 

  • Log in to Print on Demand/Online Stores.
  • Choose a product you want from the product menu or dashboard and start customizing.
  • Choose from available sizes, canvas thicknesses and orientations.
  • Click on either option based on your needs
  • Use the drag-and-drop feature or browse your device to upload photos. You can also import images from Instagram, Facebook, or Google Drive.
  • If you don’t have pictures of your own. Use Getty Images or Shutterstock for unique canvas prints.
  • After uploading, you can move, resize, or crop your image to fit the canvas perfectly. Add more graphics if needed.
  • There are many customization options for your canvas prints. Choose a layout for precise image placement, or use the layers feature to add visual depth. You can also add text in your preferred font for a personal touch and select the appropriate option.
  • Always preview your canvas before placing an order. Check for quality issues like pixelation or cropping errors.
  • Once you’re happy with your design, proceed to checkout. Enter your shipping and payment details, then confirm your order.
  • Find the perfect spot to display your canvas print.

Q: What kinds of frames look good with a canvas print?

A: A framed canvas adds a stunning touch to your decor. Wooden frames are ideal for canvas prints, but textured metal frames can also be a great choice.

Q: Do professional printers offer better results on Canvas?

Q: Can you print iPhone photos on canvas?

A: Easily order canvas prints from the photos stored on your iPhone or iPad. Enjoy high-quality canvas prints delivered right to your door!

Q: Any caring tips if it color bleeds?

Situation 1: Using a wet cloth to clean

A: Use a damp cloth to clean canvas prints, as this is the standard method. Avoid using a wet cloth, as it can damage the surface. Ensure the canvas dries completely to prevent any surface damage.

Situation 2: Put on the kitchen wall and the grease happens

A: Fortunately, grease won’t cause the colors to bleed. But it can cause buildup on the canvas, which is difficult to clean. To prevent this, regularly clean your canvas print with a damp cloth.

Canvas prints offer a high-quality, durable display. This how to print on canvas step by step here will guide you in choosing the right printer and canvas. Prepare your image, follow proper printing and drying procedures for vibrant, long-lasting print
