Create an assignment / Canvas

Problem

There are five assignment types available in Canvas: Assignments, Discussions, Quizzes, External Tools, and Not Graded. An Assignment is a Canvas assignment that can be submitted online through text entry, file uploads, media recordings, external tools, URLs, or Canvas pages. Assignments appear on the Assignments Index Page, the Gradebook (graded only), the Syllabus, and on the User Dashboard (graded only):
- Review the Canvas Guide for creating an online assignment that can be submitted via text entry, file uploads, media recordings (audio, video), URLs, or Canvas pages
- Review the Canvas Guide to add an assignment using an external app or tool
Assignments can be graded as a percentage, complete/incomplete, points, letter grade, GPA scale, or set as not graded. Refer to the Canvas Guide for adding or editing details in an assignment to learn more
- Assignments can be graded but not count toward the final grade as outlined in the following Canvas Guide:
  - How do I exclude an assignment from the course's final grades?
Once an assignment has been created as one type, e.g., an online text entry assignment, it cannot be changed to another assignment type, e.g., a quiz or discussion. If you want a text entry assignment to now be a quiz with an essay question (text entry), you will need to create a quiz, and then unpublish or delete the original assignment
