Info

This page article includes example instructions for an online course assignment using a Website URL submission or a Text Entry Google Doc submission. These are examples only. They are not meant to address every potential scenario for assignment submissions. Feel free to use them as a guide and edit them for your own course needs. If your course is a part of a fully online program, please refer to the program specifications and activity directions.

Uses

When students are asked to submit a Google Document or Sheet for an assignment, there are multiple Submission Types to choose from when setting up the assignment in Canvas for a fully online course. After testing the different submission types available, eCampus Center recommends using either the Website URL or the Text Entry submission types.

...

  • Files being submitted are in a shared Google folder.

  • The instructor wants to provide inline feedback that will stay with the student’s work versus being stored in Canvas. Also, refer to Grade a Google Doc using SpeedGrader from Canvas Community.

  • Students will be peer reviewing each others’ work providing inline feedback and suggested edits.

  • Students will be returning to the document to:

    • Update for revised submissions

    • Add new content (e.g. journals with multiple entries)

    • Reference for future assignments, study guides, or professional application

Website URL

Text Entry

Space available for additional text comments from students to accompany a submission.

✔

✔

Students can paste the URL in the space provided, and Canvas will automatically convert to functional hyperlink. 

✔

Full functionality of Speedgrader.

✔

Cautions

Students must have properly shared the Google file so someone with the link can either:

  1. View for view-only access

  2. Comment to provide in-line feedback or suggested edits

  3. Edit to make changes to the submitted content

✔

✔

Students can see additional submission options (Google Drive and Google Drive (LTI 1.3)), which may be confusing to the student or complicate grading and feedback functions for the instructor.
