Sometimes it is necessary to assign an activity (Assignment, Quiz, Discussion, etc.) to individual students. At other times, it may be necessary to set up alternate availability and/or due dates for individual students. In Canvas, this is done on the activity's Details page in the Assign or Assign Access section. The steps below outline how to do this for an existing Assignment. However, the process is the same for other activities in Canvas and it can be done during the initial setup of the activity.
Step 1. Go to the Activity's Details Page
1. Open the course and click the Assignments link in the Course Menu to go to the Assignments index page.
2. On the Assignments index page, click the ellipsis button for the desired assignment (for this example, we're selecting the Coursera Sample Assignment) to expand the the options.
3. Select Edit from the options list.
4. Click the More Options button to go to the assignment Details page.
5. From the Details page, scroll down to the Assign or Assign Access section and make the necessary adjustments
Important notes:
- If the activity is going to be available only to certain students and not the rest of the class, proceed to steps a through b below.
- However, if alternate dates and/or times need to be set up for individual students while the original settings remain the same for the rest of the class, be sure to click the "+ Assign To" button before proceeding to the steps below. This creates a new Assign Access card for the students who need the alternate access while keeping the settings the same for the rest of the class.
If "+ Assign To" is not selected before changing the dates and times, the activity will only be visible to the students added to the Assign To area, and will not be visible to the rest of the class.
- In the Assign To field, type the student's name. Canvas will drop down a list of names that match your entry as you type. Select the student's name when it appears.
- Enter the desired dates for the Due Date, Available from, and Until options along with the desired Time for each.
- Click the Save button when finished.
