Summary When creating or editing Assignments, you can select one of four assignment submission types on the Assignment Details page. This article describes each Submission Type. |
No Submission
No Submission assignments are used when you do not want students to submit an assignment in Canvas. This assignment type is used to create extra columns in the Gradebook to enter scores for work completed outside of Canvas.
On Paper
On Paper assignments are similar to No Submission. They are used when you want students to submit an assignment to you but not through Canvas. This assignment type applies to traditional face-to-face courses or hybrid courses when you want the assignment turned in during class but still want to create a column in the Canvas Gradebook for grading purposes. When students view the assignment, they see that the assignment will be submitted on paper.
Online
Online submissions allow you to set one or multiple entry options for students.

Text Entry and File Upload are the only two submission types that are compatible with Plagiarism Review tools. Selecting one or both options will display the Plagiarism Review settings on the page. See [Article Title] to find out more about TurnItIn.
External Tool
When you create an assignment, you can choose to add an external app (LTI tool) as a submission type. External apps must be [[added to your course]] before they can be added to an assignment. The External Tool submission type does not support group assignments or peer reviews.
