canvas assignment redo

[ElizabethGarza1]

I have a student who needs an opportunity to "redo" an assignment. I don't want to add submissions to the rest of my class, but I want to allow this student the chance to resubmit. How do I do this?

Howdy @ElizabethGarza1,

Thank you for sharing your question with the community of Canvas users.

First, you can make use of the "Reassign Assignment button."

Also, if the original submission window has concluded, you'll need to assign the student to a new availability window using differentiated assignments. Just make sure you click on the [+Add] button and don't remove the assignment in the "Assign to" field that says Everyone (or Everyone Else).

Hope this information helps! Keep learning...

This is great. Thank you! 

How is the student notified? 

Suggestion: reverse order this, or make a note: "must submit a comment before allowing a student to resubmit" because it seemed like this button didn't work because the student had reached their number of solutions. 

Or add a "moderate this assignment" and allow for instructors to assign additional attempts to specific students.

Or both! 

Thank you!

Great point. I assumed the teacher would make a connection with the student by including a note in the assignment submission field as to why they are requesting a re-do with any other additional information, for transparency and expectation setting.

Hope you have an amazing week!
