Extra attempts with Canvas Assignments.

Instructions

Note

Canvas Assignments behave differently than Blackboard in two ways:

  • Assignment Attempts cannot be deleted

  • Individual students cannot be granted extra attempts

In Canvas you can grant a student another attempt at an assignment by editing the number of allowed attempts on the assignment.

  • In the Canvas Course Layout menu select Assignments.

  • Click on the title of the Assignment.

Select Assignments. Click on the assignment you want to edit.Image Modified

  • A new screen will open up. Select Edit from the upper right hand corner of the screen.

Once the assignment pulls up, select Edit.Image Modified

  • Scroll down to “Submission Attempts”:

    • In Allowed Attempts, select either:

      • Limited: Add an attempt to the total # of attempts.

      • Unlimited: This will also open up the assignment for unlimited attempts.

In Allowed Attempts select either Limited Add an attempt to the total number of attempts.  Unlimited This will also open up the assignment for unlimited attempts.Image Modified

  • Select Save at the bottom of the Assignment.

  • The student can now submit an extra attempt to the Assignment.

    • Note: All students are now able to submit a second attempt to the Assignment. Normally this does not cause any issues, but if you are concerned, please include a note in the Assignment Instructions explaining expectations for students regarding this extra attempt (EX: disregard second attempt if first attempt was successful, etc.).
