4.3 | Types of Assignments
Assignment Types
In Canvas, there are three Assignment types and each type has its own icon.
- Assignments
- Quizzes
- Discussions
Assignment Index Page
From the Assignments Index page (button on the left navigation window), you can view all assignments in your course in one spot. From this page, view assignments by date or by assignment type. However, your instructor may have this option turned off.
If it is turned on you will see all of the assignments in your course organized by assignment group by date. Assignment details will show you the type of assignment (see above) and when it is due*.
*Note: the due date may have passed or the assignment does not have a due date.
