Entering Answers on Student's Behalf for Quiz Assignments

[ConradKrawiec]

Hi, 

I have a quiz assignment where students are asked to upload their files in response to quiz questions. This format was chosen to allow quiz statistics exportation that will allow us to (1) track completion and (2) to merge that data into our grader database. 

If a student is unable to complete an assignment in a timely fashion, but I excuse it, how can I upload the file or enter the student's answers on their behalf if the quiz is closed. 

Thanks!

Conrad.

Hello @ConradKrawiec 

If you created a Canvas Quiz (classic or new) and had the essay format so students could type or upload files directly to the quiz question - only the student or one acting as the student can submit those answers. Either the student can send you the file or their answers and you manually  give them a grade (directly in gradebook or speedgrader) or you need someone with admin permissions to "act as user" and submit said file/answer while masquerading as the student.  Typically, teachers don't have this permission and it would be best if you spoke with someone at the school if submitting these answers to the students' quiz submissions is critical.
