Copying and sharing assignment items


'Assignments' include online submissions (eg files, images, text, URLs, etc.), as well as Quizzes and Discussions. Such assessment items can be copied to your other Canvas courses, or shared directly with individual users. This functionality is also available for Pages.

The ability to copy or send individual assignment items is known as 'direct share'.

Find the particular item that you wish to copy or share and click on the three dots menu. Select Copy To... or Send To...

A detailed demonstration of this feature is available in the Canvas video Direct Share. Links to an external site.

Note: Remember that at Oxford, Assignments in Canvas are used only for formative assessment, not summative assessment.
