Blackboard/Compass 2g |
Options in Canvas |
Suggested Solution |
Journal |
Text Assignment Submission |
Canvas does not have a separate Journal tool. Users are encouraged to create a Text Entry Assignment instead. |
Assessment |
Discussion Board or 3rd party tool |
Have students use a 3rd party application such as Blogger.com and share the URL with the class or create them their own Discussion Board in the course or a Group |
Wikis |
Pages with adjusted editing permissions |
The workaround does not work as cleanly as wikis, however Pages will work. You’ll need to change the permissions of that page to allow students to edit. |
Manual Grade Column |
New Assignment -> No Submission |
You cannot add a manual grade column directly to the Grade Book in Canvas (as you can in Blackboard). You must create a new assignment, and in the “Submission Type” settings, set to “No Submission.”
How do I create assignmnent columns for non-submission Assignments? |
